Yet another wintry sky blotted the horizon and made the thought of taking ageing bones along with a younger woman's mind to the South Seas. Malaria? Crocodiles? Oh dear. The Hawaii Hilton perhaps and don't go outdoors except to ride in a cab to a restaurant for a lonely meal or brighten the day for the eighth day running by trolling through Ala Moana Cent...
(A sequence to A Pleasure Trip) "Happy birthday, Lisa," my wife and I chanted as Alex placed a birthday cake with five burning candles in front of our special friend Lisa. We had not been able to get a gift for our companion since we had been travelling from Chicago in our RV for the last four days. "What would like for your birthday?" asked my wife once L...
Vikki came into my life through a business venture of mine. I had to make some contractual agreements with several not for profit organizations so they'd agree to lend me certain information that they had in their possession. Vikki put the contracts together so I wouldn't get myself into legal trouble. I was expecting to get a 60-ish balding lawyer when I co...
The storm I knew was coming suddenly blew in right there in front of me. I'm speaking, of course about my wife Jill. "Honey, what's that out in the garage?" she asked sweetly. Believe me, it wasn't all that sweet if you looked in her eyes and knew what she was getting at. Naturally, I adopted Defense Method 1: Play Dumb. "What are you talking about, babe?"...
It was another Saturday; another day to earn some money by satisfying unfulfilled females. In all honesty, not all of them were unfulfilled intentionally. I had an 11:00 "service" appointment at the new high rise project. I pulled up to the Guard Station and confirmed I was there to see Mrs. Adams. I gave my name and indicated I had an appointment. He check...
I'm a 72 year old male in fairly good condition, all things considered. I do my sit-up exercises including push-ups and walk regularly. My regular route is a little over two miles. So I'm in better shape than many my age. However, I enjoy food and a friendly drink so I'm a little soft with too much around my middle. I've shrunk a little with age, used to be...
I was having lunch pondering the events of the previous day. My neighbor Bobbi's hot water problem had led to a wonderful sexual encounter the likes of which I haven't enjoyed since the passing of my wife about a year ago. I had my secretary run out to buy me flowers to take with me this evening as I had been invited back for dinner. When the phone rang, I...
I've sometimes wondered how I might fare teaching in a university setting. Bright students brimming over with enthusiasm. Not yet jaded in their life experience, though always a healthy cynicism about the process. Even a delightful air of confidence when they are comfortable with the material they are learning, often showing through as satirical humour. Thes...
Janice set the parking brake and turned off the ignition, "are you ready for this Tam." she asked. Tamara looked at her and answered, "As ready as I'll ever be. That is a really big house." Jan glanced at the house while locking the car door. "It sure is. It has three floors as you can see. It has dozens of rooms big and small. Bree told me it was fairly r...
I was half sitting, half laying at a small table in a darken corner of a bar. I was in a drunken stupor and had been since I had buried my young wife, Gale and our child. They were a victim of a head on crash with a drunken driver. No one had survived and I could see no reason for me to carry on. On that fateful day I had lost everything that meant anything...
