All the usual rules apply. Nobody under eighteen. No relation to reality. Its a fantasy! Be nice in your comments. This is way way over the top. You have been warned. ***** "No, no, no...you're doing it all wrong!" Pat said. I tried to make corrections, to do it the way she wanted, but it seemed like I just never got it right. I guess I just don't have the...
In January of 1982, Kathryn and I flew from Michigan for a vacation in Southern California. We had found a lovely hillside bed and breakfast in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. In our early thirties, we had been married six months; each previously married with no children. I had courted Kathryn even before she was divorced. Being 5'5", 130 pounds, she presen...
I had only moved next door four months ago, but in an effort to fit in, I had hosted a get acquainted barbeque. Since the house I had bought came with both a heated full size pool and a hot tub, most of the guests either arrived in swim wear or had run home to change after we ate.

Chapter 4 Some Guys Have All The Luck I lay in bed that evening, my hands behind my head, my body stretched out using every inch of the queen size mattress's length.

That Evening Sun By Chas4455© I've got a cane bottom rocking chair, one of four actually, that sits on the veranda looking out across the dirt road and a seemingly endless vista of green cotton fields. I'm sitting here with a cold PBR in one hand, and mindlessly stroking an old dog by my side with the other. Lady is about thirteen now, and doesn't do much...
Since Christopher had been bounced, there had been three more interviews, and another couple of dozen applicants rejected before then. People had been rude, or had sketchy references, or just given one of us a bad vibe. It turned out that consensus was a very hard thing to reach among six very different people. I was beginning to get frustrated. Did we reall...
Back in the safety and seclusion of my mountain retreat later that afternoon, Summer and I sat back and drank a few beers to unwind, allowing the adrenaline and endorphins racing through our systems to subside somewhat. "I think we succeeded in getting inside his head a little," I told Summer. "Yeah...no question about that," she exhaled. "Now what's this...
