I travel a lot. Mostly through my work, occasionally for pleasure, and totalling maybe 100,000 miles a year. Flying, of course, and I have my favourite airlines. Air travel is generally boring once you've got over the excitement of being 6 miles up in the air and watching the in-flight movies. Generally, I find it boring now. But on one particular flight, t...
I'm spending the day at Glen Ivy Hot Springs, relaxing. I normally go with girlfriends, but not always. I've come here alone a few times and it's glorious to not worry about anyone else's schedule or needs. There are many women here, all ages, all shapes and sizes. I'm comfortable in my one piece, even though I can no longer "rock the bikini," the way I onc...
"You got mail.... " Shay smiled as she clicked to her mail and there it was, another reminder about Kenny's Birthday. December 6th. She thought it was so funny how he had been leaving little reminders for over a week now. It was now December 5th and she was about to put her plan in motion. She knew he expected dinner, dancing, at least a dozen gifts and lo...
When Jennifer saw a man who she thought might be Harry, she immediately felt relief that he did indeed show up. In the back of her mind, she feared that the whole thing was a hoax. She feared that perhaps he was not really who he claimed to be. She also felt the joy in her heart that the warmth of his smile brought to her upon their eyes meeting for the firs...
The most wonderful thing in life is a surprise. I don’t mean a scare, like a loud noise or a near miss on the highway, or a surprise birthday party with friends jumping out from behind the furniture, but a more subtle and profound surprise. A realization that the shape of things you once though to be just so are actually far different, and far better, can re...
Oh God! My eyes wide open and I am partially paralyzed. She is there standing totally nude killing me with her eyes. She has left her hair loose, a tinge of a naughty smile on her face, a picture that would be there for a lifetime. Not a welcome that we usually receive at a doorstep of a girl who I met just a few days ago. Sneha, a fun young bangalorian gi...
"Ah, this is more like it!" Sharon thought as she stepped out onto the hot sand. "I like Colorado, but man, it gets cold there!" She surveyed the terrain and was pleased to see a mile long white sanded beach without a single person on it. The sun was shining brightly, and not a single cloud in the sky. The gentle breeze was bringing her the salty smell of...
James pulled the big Chrysler to the front entrance of the Ritz Carlton, then turned his head and chuckled as he watched Louisa pull down the visor mirror to check her makeup for perhaps the tenth time during the short drive from the office to the hotel. "You look beautiful," he said, and Louisa blushed at such an effusive comment coming from her boss, a re...
DISCLAIMER Going to be working on a series of stories based on a character that has formed in my head - call it my alter ego. You see, I am a jack of all trades and fairly gifted at many. I've been a soldier, a firefighter, a counselor, a cop. My kids friends call me GI JOE because of how many different things I do and am asked to do. I'm married, 2 kids, g...
As Salam Alaikum, dear reader. My name is Maimuna Hassan and I'm a young Black Muslim woman of Somali descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I'm in the Criminology program at the University of Ottawa, and will hopefully graduate next semester. Not sure if I want to do Law School right away or try to get a job in my major. It all depends on the job ma...
