LOVE IN A WARM SUMMER RAIN OUR BEGINNING: CAT’S STORY PART 1 The traffic on the way to LAX was bumper to bumper, which should not have surprised me since it was during the rush hour on a Friday afternoon. Everyone was in a hurry to get home and begin his or her weekend. But as I waited for Cats 5:45pm flight from San Jose to arrive I seemed to drift off, d...
Up until my wife turned 40, we had never broken our marriage vows. Turning 40, for me was not a big deal. Not so with Jan.

Six hours without electricity was definitely annoying, and still the blizzard howled outside, the rapid winds sweeping over and around the small house. This was why I had not wanted my husband to accept the job transfer, even though the accompanying raise was definitely what we would need to have a good start...

Recently I posted a story, 'F is for Fantasy' one in a series of what I am calling my 'alphabet stories'. I was both pleased as well as surprised by the number of comments received with regards to it. Not so much for any praise in the writing, but more pleased for how many have commented on what a great idea that it was...is. I've long held that the key to...
We'd only seen the room over Skype, receiving a virtual tour by Liv who was renting the largest of three bedrooms in her Manhattan apartment. When we (finally) made it to New York, the room seemed like less than the double size we'd pictured it would be, but Maeve and I set straight away to make it our own.

I didn't even want to go, but to make things worse I ended up sharing my hotel room with a superior.
