I don't tell these stories because I'm proud of them. I only tell you these stories because I find them amusing, and maybe you will too. Moving to my small town could very well have been the worse move I've ever made in my life. Living amongst the Stepford Wives and mini vans isn't really my cup of tea. The only tea I like happens to be Long Island Iced Te...
This is a true story about a woman who meant a lot to me many years ago. It was 1973, and I was a 24 year old Army enlisted man, stationed in central Germany. I thought at the time that I was really out of the action, sexually, but in recalling those days later, I've realized that there were lots of unique experiences with women on that German tour. Perhap...
Spending a month island-hopping in Greece was my idea. Susie loves the sun and we don't see much of it in England for most of the year. Our daughters left the nest a couple of years ago, so it didn't take much of an effort to convince my wife to take a holiday in June, before the main holiday season begins. "Smart thinking, Jimmy!" was what she said. In he...
I met a German girl in England Who was goin' to school in France And we danced the Mississippi at an Alpha Kappa dance It wasn't me Woo, it wasn't me Yeah, you must've met some other body, No, no child it wasn't me - George Thorogood * For anyone familiar with the social Mecca that a quaint thoroughbred racetrack in Lexington, Kentucky named Keeneland be...
September, 1916 Paris, France It was a Monday, when my life took a significant turn. I had completed my morning exercise at the embassy and had arrived in my office when I was summoned to Mr. Stark's office for what was described as an urgent meeting. This in itself was not unusual, as I spent almost half my time in the ambassador's company, discussing e...
While we were in Germany, Mandi got a large dose of European styles, food, and an even bigger dose of European thinking. She realized that some of the sexual mores of Europeans were very different from the way she grew up back home. Her introduction into partying with another couple was her first foray into more moderate sexual play that she probably would...
You go to State College, home of a once proud football team that raked in awards and even a few titles. Recently though the team has fallen on some bad luck. While the coach managed to save his job with a bowl win, President Kimberly Winters has hired a new athletic director, Sophia Friedrich to improve all of the school's sports. Even in her 40s, President...
"Have your children ever walked in on you?" Markus was shy. "You know, when you are doing it?" He couldn't even look at me when he asked. You might ask, how do six late forties parents end up playing truth or dare. It's really pretty simple. There was a lot of wine. Ben and Peter had grilled steaks and lobster tails. The children were all off somewhere. Eve...
Traffic. The bane of modern life I thought, as the cab inched toward the junction leading to the city. Four hours sitting in an airport waiting for a delayed flight, one and a half hours to fly a thousand kilometres and four hours to crawl the final few miles. I had been awake for nearly thirty hours now, having come off a night shift that morning, before we...
Prologue This story is a rewrite of a story I previously wrote entitled "Coming Home." I have used many of the same characters but the plot has changed significantly. It is as far as possible historically accurate although of course the characters and the plot are fictional. The Nazi U Boat threat in 1941 was gradually strangling the UK supply lines and Me...
