In High School Kent Phillips was a dipshit nerd - that's the only way to describe him. He had horn-rimmed glasses, a pot-belly, acne, hair that seemed impossible to control, and non-symmetrical facial features. His hygiene also left a lot to be desired. He was the perfect target for bullies, and there were no shortage of them in his school district. A day d...
"Honey, I really, really want to go this time," my wife Sarah said with a bit of an annoying whine in her voice. "OK, why this time and not one of the last fifteen years of our high school reunions?" I responded. "Well, there are several very good reasons to go this year. First, they are combining the class of '85, my class, with the class of '80, your c...
I went to go in the café almost two weeks after her last phone call, and there was Tina, just sat there, staring out of the window. I backed up and stood over the road watching her. Now and then she looked out, watching the people going by as she stirred her coffee, a little aimlessly. There are reasons as to why I never answered her calls. The first being...
Amy's slumber party "I can't thank you and Bernadette enough for this, "Amy said to Penny. "The only slumber party I had growing up was with my teddy bear 'Isaac Newton', my cat, 'Madame Curie' and my hamster 'bubbles'. It was a truly torrid affair, 'Madame Curie' wound up eating 'Bubbles' and got sick and I wound up in bed with 'Isaac Newton', needless to...
"Give me that," Sarah giggled, grabbing her best friend Carol's boarding pass from the pocket of her carry-on bag. "Wait here." Sarah had already been talking, more like flirting really, to that nice looking young man from Air Jamaica for what seemed like half an hour before confiscating her friend's pass. Now she was gone again. Sarah was actually skipping...
It all followed from a late-night call that Mel took while I was in the shower. When I came out, I could see something had changed. "Tell me," I said. "It was Celia. She says Rob has offered to baby-sit next time - if it would be OK with us if she came instead. She thinks she might be bi, and wants to find out." "Seriously?" "Yes." And then, carefully,...
"Hi babe, watcha up to?" "Nothing much," I said. It was Mandy on the phone, my closest friend. "Well, I've got a nice bottle of red and a lasagna in the oven, why don't you come for dinner?" "Yeah, sure, why not," I replied. Mandy was always fun. What's more, right now I needed some distraction, a girl's night in. It had been two weeks since Rick dump...
"Dan?" "Mmm..." "You're meant to be up already, I can't keep doing this, at some point you're going to have to start getting yourself up in the morning." I was trying to be stern with him but failing hopelessly. "Maggie?" His voice was scratchy with sleep. "Now who else might it be at this time in the morning?" I said, making a passable attempt at mimic...

"Nanny, here, quickly," cried the teenaged girl from her bath, "There's a face at the window!" The dark buxom nanny ran into the bathroom, "Where my pet?" The young man had stepped back from the open window, obscured by the night, although watching the girl was 'up lifting' in its way, the nanny running in naked, her big breasts bouncing in all their glo...
