There was something great about a moving into your own apartment that could not be replaced by anything else. The new space, fixing things up, and meeting others in the building and the area. Not that apartment buildings were necessarily the most conducive places to meet people but some were very close neighborhoods. Andrea had planned on spending the weeke...
It's an old building... ...Yes--ssssss, I work on the top floor alright...and the view is great, when I bother to look at it, at all...:) There is a medium sized potted rubber plant in one of the elevators... I timed it... It takes exactly 3 minutes, 31 seconds from lobby to the top, or vice versa...assuming no stops on the way... They need a faster...
A few years back, hubby and I hosted our own version of the Exotic Erotic Ball in our home. Not really to be compared with that which is held annually in San Francisco, our party only involved eight other couples. We asked everybody to come in costume and stick with our exotic erotic theme. I spent a few weeks pondering what I should wear at our little part...
At the beach that I go to there is an imaginary line. It starts about halfway to the shore where there is a sign that reads BEYOND THIS POINT YOU MAY ENCOUNTER NUDE SUNBATHERS. Yes, the beach has a clothing optional side. But it also has a clothing required side. I'm not sure why a clothed person would pick this beach to go to unless they just want to gawk,...
Fumbling for her keys to unlock her front door, She just couldn't wait for her day to be over with. As soon as her door creaked open, she threw her stuff down right at the front door, just like every other time before this one. She went to the bathroom and changed from her work clothes to more comfortable clothing, being in chef pants and a jacket for 12 hou...
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Anna whispered, sounding earnestly confused. She was something of a ditz, but normally not this oblivious. "I'm really fucking sure we shouldn't be doing this!" her co-conspirator, Esther, hissed right back. "Then why don't w -" "Shhhh!" The pair were crouched near the maintenance entry of the boy's dorms, wait...
13 May Flying rats. That is what the natives call them. True, they leave splatter upon the monuments and pander constantly. Still, rat brings an ugly image to mind. And this lovely one certainly doesn't deserve that stigma. They are an iconic part of cities, especially Italian cities. I have been watching this particular blue and white bird for a few minute...
That Thursday morning you were outside sitting on the balcony, typing away at your laptop, and I was looking at you from behind, as I so often do. I noticed that Chelsea, the next door neighbor's daughter, was messing around with her car. I mentioned to you through the open french doors to ask her if something was wrong. It was time for her to be gone to cla...
All of my stories are true. Most of them happen in the 1970's when sex was still safe. One of the more enjoyable parts of being Head of Security in a luxury apartment complex was the people watching. I got to see all kinds of different people come and go about their daily lives. Most stopped by to at least say a hello and indulge in some brief chit chat. On...
It was a beautifully warm, sunny day. Em and I were tired from all the work we had done around the house, and were out for a drive. Stopping for an ice cream at the local drive-in seemed the perfect thing to do. Having made our purchases, we sat in my car enjoying them while we people-watched. Ahead of us, I saw the back of a van, the driver's door open, wi...
