This is the continuation of a complex history of a takeover of a public company listed on the NYSE and the imbroglio that follows the players. It can be read as a stand alone story or preferably as part of a much more interesting web of people actions and reactions. When and where are interesting, but what motivates the individual players and teams involve...
Wake to the alarm upstairs, and Brianna being rather upset. Just lie there for a moment wishing it was next year and she can walk around so less crying loud for food. Groan when I realize next year she will be talking, mostly yelling about being hungry. Standing at the foot of the stairs I am pondering if I should hand her a cookie before breakfast or just m...
Zack loitered in the ship's entranceway, surrounded by the other bustling cruise passengers. He recognized some male acquaintances from previous excursions and a few of the regular crew and staff. He could have boarded privately and been escorted straight to his topside premium cabin suite. But he liked this first encounter to peruse the first time passenger...
It started out like any other vacation. Sightseeing, chowing down at some famous food spots, and in this case, gambling. Jimmy, Bert, and Harold hit the slots at The Sahara, then tried some blackjack at The Frontier. They had lunch at Westy's and watched the girls dance at The Flamingo Club. Don't let the senior-citizen status fool you - Jimmy and Bert c...

This was going to be a long weekend. He had taken Monday and Tuesday off too, just to make sure he had enough time with Brenda. They had...
Being married for 30 years our life was changing as the children were either married or living on their own. The nest was empty and all we had was each other. There were days that we didn't talk with the stress of our jobs and the busy schedule we have with the grandchildren's activities leaving no time for each other. We decided to take advantage of the lo...

By suppertime, we were settled into our suite at Caesar's Atlantic City Casino. We took a shower together and then laid down for a short nap before tackling supper and the casino. We had decided that we both had "headaches" and sex would be the last thing on our minds that night so we took it easy on each other and enjoyed the respite. After our naps we fou...
I had seen her many, many times before. Blonde, 25ish, 5'7", long legs, about a 34C and 110#. Add in full lips and big brown eyes, she was a very nice package. She usually wore high heels which accentuated her legs and height. Since I am about 6', we pretty much looked each other in the eyes. The time had come to open this package and explore the hidden deli...
