Yesterday, I fed her my special stir-fry dinner, assembled from whatever veggies I had on hand at the time, with fresh mung-bean sprouts, right off the windowsill, where I sprouted them. Strips of steak cut from yesterdays dinner. Seasoned with Thai peanut sauce. Boiled rice and hot tea. After dinner, we talked of this and that, avoiding mutual raw emotions...
With the kids at summer camp for two weeks, my wife and I decided to spend some time at our summer home in Northern Wisconsin. It's on a lake near a fairly small town. After being on the lake and completely alone for a few days, we decided to go out for dinner and drinks. There are a couple of decent restaurants, and we went to our favorite casual place wh...
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. *** Jim still couldn't believe what happened yesterday, everything happened so fast that he couldn't make any sense of it, or believe that it was real.

They rarely lifted their heads, keeping their eyes open for bargains, too focused to really notice anybody. Alex, however, remained hesitant. Though he seemed to be mi...
Petra grimaced. Another day of shopping, more of those fucking stares. She was sick of them, as she perused the skirts, the stockings, the things she found cute.

The sun was setting as we got the last of our stuff packed up. Trunk... full. Back seat... mostly full. Travel music play list... set "And now it begins," I said, looking over the top of the car at him. We took a trip to his parents' house every year. They both seemed to like me "stealing" their son so that was a nice. The added bonus was access to the lak...
As the others slowly filed out of the courtroom, many craning their necks to get a better view of Lauren, Sue came over to us. "Congratulations, Girl!" she exclaimed, with a huge smile on her face. "You did it!" "Thank you." Lauren replied, with just as big of a grin. "I'm just glad it's all over, but I'm even more glad that I can never, ever, ever wear cl...
