I miss you!” He said: “Hey baby I’m not good, I have mi...
It happened slowly but I'm glad it did, because the geography in the relationship made for very tricky situations. I am English, now 47, and living in the UK. I married Diana 2 years ago, and I couldn't really believe that it had happened. Why? Because Diana was a beautiful, sexy blonde from Texas, and it was only because I was on a business trip to the US...
About the middle of March Dawn and I decided to take a long vacation, something we hadn't done since we won all the money. We spent three weeks in Hawaii and had a very interesting time there and also while we got ready to go. That is all we are going to tell you, you will have to read all about this. Remember, it was three weeks, these chapters will be long...
Tammy and I were a little over three hours out from Destin when we decided to stop for a light lunch to take the edge off before our dinner meeting. The normal seven hour drive from Sarasota proved to be a little longer due to some heavy rain, but it was still very pleasant thus far, because her fun conversation made it interesting to me and seem much shorte...
A note to readers: With this part, we enter the final third of the story, a third which has never been posted before. As such, please do not be surprised if the rapid updating pace of previous parts begins to slow down.

This supposes a touch of defiance or rebelliousness will make a difference; a significant difference especially to the downtrodden. In this instance the advice to 'get some mongrel' was given to a character who's perceived as being excessively too n...
JILL AGAIN I Jill and Rod were a bit breathless, crouching behind his car parked alongside the grass verge in the far corner of the car park. It was late evening, but high summer so that there was still light in the sky. As a pointless joke, they were hiding from friends they had just left in the clubhouse at the end of the evening. Jill's heart was knock...
The half-full moon that hung over the Texas hills combined with the Milky Way to shed a ghostly light. There was little other light. The town of Koenigsburg had electricity. Farmsteads outside the town limits were not hooked up yet, and light meant candles, lamps and lanterns. Marie Wanzack waited in the wan light from the kitchen lamp for her husband, Anto...

Lella's birthday was soon after New Year's Eve. We had a nice party at an old friend of mine's place: a former platoon commander in my company, back in the eighties, who was smarter than me, left the service and built up an enterprise which sells services to the Army. He had been making far more money than he could actually spend, since he has basically no...
