I think The Kingston Trio said it first. But then Frank Sinatra said it more eloquently. It was Frank who moved it from the major key to the minor key. Brilliant. 'When I was twenty one, it was a very good year. A very good year for city girls who lived up the stairs.' And, yes, not only did the city girls live up the stairs, but - as Frank observed - the...
Ireland, 1985 'Girl Scout Cookies.' Regina snorted. 'It's worse he's getting.' Mike laughed. They were driving home from Con's house where, after the pub, they had drank take-out Harp with the man of the house and another couple, George and Paula. All three men were old schoolfriends. Con -- unmarried, alcoholic, an overgrown class clown whose shtick had...
Fucking Fluid Mechanics... I was sitting on a concrete bench in front of the library on a cool fall day working on my fluid mechanics homework. I had worked through the last problem of the assignment several times and my answer still didn't match the solution manual. Where did I keep fucking up? I wadded up my latest effort and shot it into a nearby trash c...
"Wow, it has been a long time," Nick stated as he slyly looked Sandra up and down. She smiled and sarcastically reminded him that since it was their ten year high school reunion so it had in fact been ten years since they had seen each other (although she was never really sure why they had lost touch) they had been such good friends for so many years. "Y...
Today, a Saturday in September, Emerald City promised unseasonable warmth and sunshine. Diana and I awakened refreshed and invigorated as did the city known for its aromatic blends of coffee, post card perfect ferries and deeply ingrained tree hugging mindset. Soon another influx of tourists would flood these precipitous downtown streets and shekels would co...

On Friday we observed the new owners of the home next door arrive with a second couple and unload their weekend clothes and supplies. Julissa and I were sitting...
Nia was a different kind of girl. She was beautiful: her eyes, her face, her smile, her hair, her body. Her breasts stood out proudly from her chest. They were prominent and drew the attention of both men and women. She had a butt that called out to be watched. Her legs were one of her better assets. One's eyes could not stop from traveling from her ankles u...
Jim felt extremely nervous as he made his way to his parents' room after dinner that fateful night. He had been thinking of how best to ask his question all week, and for almost 2 months before that. He had been trying to gather as much information as he possibly could, but being only13 his sources of information were limited by his parents at that time. Sti...
Copyright © 2007 Brad The guys are using my cabin for Kate's bachelorette party. Yes, sounds strange, but she is more girl than guy now. Mark said they were having dancers and Freya was providing the mead. It should be a fun time. Kate's cousins have always kept an eye out for her, and since it's just them, it shouldn't get to out of hand. ---------------...
This is a test, it is only a test. I want to test my story writing ability. That the story is true isn't the issue, what is important is that I can make you feel as if you were there. Let me know if I succeeded. Marsha. ----------------------------------------- My husband and I read this forum, so you know we're already a little bent. Some of the stories...
