***** A great many people have undertaken to portray Agatha Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, but in my opinion, none has done it as well as David Suchet, star of ITW productions of Poirot. It is his image that I use as my visual and those of Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings), Pauline Moran (Miss Lemon) and Philip Jackson (Chief Inspector Japp). ENJ...
I'd just finished putting a new generator on my '52 Chevy. It was early August and I was relieved that I'd finished before the temperature got much over 80 degrees. I looked forward to relaxing the rest of the weekend. Then, my sister, Mary called and asked if I could put up some new window blinds and curtains in her apartment. Her husband had to work all da...
"Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate" (abandon all hope, ye who enter here) --- Here they come again, those urges those damn urges! Just like last time, I could not resist them. Succumbing to these desires, I leant over and kissed my beautiful fiancé. She looked sublime just lying there between her sheets. Starting at her neck, I kissed my way up her ch...
This is not my typical story. But then, this story did not come about in a typical way. I normally see a story in my mind, flesh it out as it plays through my mind several times, and then write it out. This story would not do that. It remained jumbled and kept going down what were apparently dead ends. Then I realized that what I was seeing in my mind was t...
Mark Meadows slowly organized the packet of documents he had removed from the fire safe in his bedroom. "Get your stuff together guys. We leave for Grandma's in ten minutes!" he shouted to his three kids; Becky 13, Glenn 11 and Tabatha 8. "K Dad,"s were chorused back to him from the three bedrooms down the hall. Mark thumbed the speed dial for his sister...
My thanks to everyone involved in organising this jolly little jape and for Randi for editorial support. * Carl Summers wasn't surprised to receive a text message from Sally, his wife's sister. Their 25th wedding anniversary and her birthday were coming up in a month, so the invitation to meet Sally (without letting Mary know) was hardly a shock. 'I expe...
Chapter 5 Peggy gets her way February 2001 It began snowing on Friday night. It was just after midnight when the police called, asking for Brian. "Your name and phone number were found in Mr. Brown's pocket. Edmond and Edith Brown were killed in an automobile accident. Do you know their next of kin?" At first, Brian blamed himself for not checking on h...
THERE IS NO SEX IN THIS STORY.. SORRY Thanks to the Hip and Knee doctor for editing assistance. * My wife had been working on her special project for four months now. It wasn't only her specific project, but she was the lead person and was responsible for it's success. The project was designed to save her company, Bixler Enterprises, and I don't have the...
After that weekend with Adrianna Lake, Diana did not engage in any further sex for the remainder of her senior year at the School of Nursing, University of Michigan. As soon as she graduated, and obtained her BSN degree (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) she wrote the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) test and was duly registered as a nurse. She s...
I had no idea my wife was cheating on me until our first child was born. We were both so pleased when she first conceived. We had been desperately trying to have a child. We had undergone medical treatment for two years and, discouraged, we had been thinking about adoption. I can remember as she began to swell how I would put my ears on her tummy to listen t...
