Event: Rowing The rowing competition was nearly cancelled. There was a serious dispute about eligible craft. The Greeks started it. Didn’t they start everything first? They insisted that as the Olympic Games were to be held in Greece that triremes should be used and ramming should be allowed. The Trojans (modern Turkey) objected because the Greeks had to...
Ah, serendipity! Sometimes love bites you in the ass, but sometimes, sometimes a guy gets lucky and he has the problem of having too much love! Or two women who fell head over heels for him to be exact. Truly a good problem to have. Marci, who I met at a bar we were having a work function at. As it was dispersing, just striking up a conversation with her....
I just want this semester to be over. It's been one of the most stressful that I can recall since becoming a Graphic Design major. I knew it would be a difficult switch, from English to Graphic Design, but I really wanted to do something I was passionate about. I feel that art is a much more noble profession for someone as creative as I am. At 22, I am looki...
It was one of those good news and bad news moments. Dana and I had arrived at the Marina all excited about our seven days on the houseboat. We'd hired it off the Internet. From the pictures, it looked okay for just the two of us. We walked down the hill to the wharf past some really huge, luxury vessels which I knew we couldn't possibly have afforded. They w...
It was approaching five o'clock at night on Friday 17th May. There was the normal crowd of drivers hanging around the duty clerk, pushing and shoving and I was just another one, hoping that I wouldn't be called upon for a last minute weekend duty. We were stationed just outside Londonderry, we were just over halfway through a two-year tour of duty and we wer...
NO RULES had been known to dabble in both conventional and unconventional games. Sex-Train was the teams real fore into the world of E-provocateur...a term they coined to signify those who risk the most sexually, in order to gain the most. After Sex-Trains success, there was more money and time then the team knew what to do with. It was decided, therefore,...
I suppose I'm only-marginally a celebrity. My suave superspy movie roles never came close to the popularity of James Bond, but the TV producers remembered me from days-gone-by and decided that I still had enough of a following to cast me on "Dancing with Celebrities". Of course I was concerned that I had no real dance experience, but I felt fit and able to h...
Chapter 2: The Lady Vice Captain's Year I guess my first cause for concern was at the Drive In for the new Captain & Lady Captain. Tradition had it the Drive in was held on the first Saturday of the New Year. The format was that Captain and Lady Captain would jointly host a mixed fun competition, followed by an evening meal and entertainment. At the end o...
Ann slept fitfully that night, her mind a torrent of excitement and anxiety. Torn between embracing the new and fearing it, sleep seemed a distant relief, just out of reach that evening. Her mind struggled with the enormity of the days in front of her; three discreet days of competition each to test the skills a true knight needed. First she would need to co...
Sarah felt wonderful waking up. She did not know why, but she felt like a huge weigh had been lifted off her soul. She stretched in her bed and sat, not daring to stand up yet. She decided to browse a bit on Internet, and grabbed her phone by the side of the bed. She smiled, seeing that she had received messages from both Alison and Melody on their group co...
