Chapter 6 Another Bump in the Road Joanna and I started dating the following weekend. I phoned her on Wednesday and suggested we take the boys to the zoo on Saturday, then a stop at a kid-friendly restaurant. She was quick to agree. In the back of my mind, I was trying to guess when I'd have my first chance to get Jo into my bed. First things first. I wante...

It was 1976. Jimmy Carter was president. Rocky ruled at the box office. Disco was in its heyday. We all watched Happy Days, Charley's Angels, and (my favorite) One Day At A Time. Dream Weaver played on every radio and I can't even count the number of nights that I cried myself to sleep with Eric Carmen's All By Myself going through my head. It was also a ti...
Chapter 16 We decided to take a ride up north taking some back roads and seeing something besides the interstates. We went thru some unique little towns and stopped for lunch. We really didn't want much for lunch but didn't know what time we would find somewhere for dinner. We didn't really know where we were and didn't care. I had a GPS in my car so all...
