"Mable, we need to talk. "I filed for bankruptcy. We do not have shit in our accounts and the mortgage payment is way over our income. The house will soon be repossessed and we will be out on the streets. I met with my lawyers today, and after everything is over our net worth will be around twelve dollars." My sixty-one-year-old wife looked at me with surp...
OK, so I keep remembering other adventures. If you read my first adventure "01. First Experience", you know that my parents had a summer place in a seashore resort area in the northeast. As they got older and I got older, I made it a point to try to visit them every so often. My family weekends were mostly tied up with going to our lake house, but a couple...
I rushed through St. Pancras Station to board the 07:16 Eurostar to Amsterdam. It was a last-minute decision; I'd run out of cannabis, and Amsterdam's the closest place to purchase it legally. I'm an American ex-pat, retired, and living south of London. I'm old, and many I've known my entire life have died. My parents, aunts, and uncles are all gone. I'm t...
This is the first of numerous stories about our experiences the past few years. They are, for the most part, accurate to the best of our recollection. We may have embellished a bit here and there, and of course the names have been changed to protect the guilty!! We have had a wonderful and most fortunate life so far. A combination of good work situations (b...
The old man pulled another news paper page onto his body. Garrit was tall. The long bones made him a bit clumsy. Only thin muscles wrapped around his frame. The scuffed slacks and stained shirt draped him. He lied on the ground with packed pebbles -- black, gray, and white once. The spread out newspaper provided a little cover from the soft win and warmth fr...
Like maggots out of meat, learned armchair critics and even the occasional academic come out of pandiculation. Instead of going for a run to reduce spreading tummy fat and release flatulence their eyes burn with loathing and they belt out a curt message to me. Usually the message is signed 'Anonymous USA', 'Knut in Oslo' or simply 'Anonymous' who in reality...
I was at our neighborhood Wal-Mart doing what I hated most, waiting. My wife was in the salon having her hair done. The same woman had been doing her hair for fifteen years, and when she moved Pam followed. I had looked at the lawn and garden, the clothes, and sporting goods areas, and was running out of things to hold my interest. I walked by the salon, she...
Thanks for reading. For those readers who say I should have put sex in the story, you're probably right. I'll make sure to steam up future offerings, but be warned, I tend to take the scenic route every where I go, you can ask my wife. This is a fairy tale. I put it in loving wives, well, because it's about a guy who loves his wife. I personally have been ma...
As I have explained in a number of these stories, I worked for many years as a professor of English at a small but expensive New England college. During that time, I was able to sample the wares of many pretty young students who crossed my path. Was this wrong? Of course it was wrong. I have never pretended to have any sense of morality, and I can tell you t...
