It was sunny this morning, but still autumn-time cool. I'd been lucky enough to find this small house, just perfect for me, for less than $100,000. It sat on the top of a hill, and had two acres of land, plus a detached two-car garage, established gardens and a chicken coop. I had two covered porches, one on the east side and one on the west, from which I co...
Collateral Damage This story is a far cry from the typical BTB, take a baseball bat to his knees, revenge story. I like a good bat to the knees story, but then I realize I probably wouldn't do well in prison. I often read revenge stories where I wonder about the collateral damage. I read a story about some creep who is dipping his pen in a married ink well...
Thanks to the knee doctor for editing help. There is no sex in this story, Sorry. * It was unusual for me to be working on a Saturday. The only reason I was in Lancaster today was to placate a special customer. I work for a manufacturing company called Paitone. We make telephones. Not your usual phones, but industrial phones that will work in abnormal or...
SURPRISE DRESS UP PARTNER The following stories are true with the exception of relocating where most of it happened. This story took place in the late 1990's, nearly twenty years ago. Many people in these stories have also died long ago. Everything has changed, including us, so the stories can now be told. Still I decided to alter where most of it happene...
You, dear reader, will have to make up your own mind if this is a true story or not. I can say the names are fictional. ***** It took me over ten minutes to spot Anita in the crowd. Even though we had been friends for almost thirty years, and I had painted her portrait, I did not recognize her. Her fellow teachers had put on a spectacular retirement Gard...
This is a re-post of a 2005 story that has been edited. There is no sex in this story, Sorry. *** There was a light nasty, drizzle coming down at the Philadelphia airport. You would never know it was the middle of the summer unless you felt the stifling heat. There was no sun. I was here, only five hours ago on my way to Atlanta. The three days conference...
Where do you go when you've lost everything, your employment, worldly possessions, reputation, and even your self-respect? Do you seek shelter and solace from an ex-wife, an ex-girlfriend or a best friend? Not if you have none of those. Lack of time had prevented me from having more than a brief, passing relationship with the opposite sex, and marriage ha...
It was the end of the week and it had been a rough one. Only another month until I retired and I was really looking forward to it. I had just gotten home and was getting the mail when my neighbor, Susan, pulled into her drive across the street. She was a realtor and apparently did really well for herself based on the quality of her clothes and the Lexus she...
Thanks to the Hip and Knee doctor for editing assistance. There is no sex in this story. Sorry. * I guess my big mistake was not manning up earlier. I let myself get into a funk and now I was paying the price. To be honest with you, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. A man is supposed to hold up and carry on, but I just didn't feel like it....
The Census Takers This is a fictional story based on the fact that my wife is one of the Enumerators doing the Census in our area. Most of the statements regarding the Census are accurate as best I could gleam as I didn't want to question her too closely to make her curious as to why I was asking. It's just something to entertain you and amuse my for the pu...
