Summer 1975, Grand Union Canal, England "Read my Tarot," Celia implored Joe as they sat on the aft deck of the narrow-boat in the sullen evening, ignoring the cries and grunts issuing from the cabin where Charlie and Rosie, their respective partners, cuckolded them. Silently, Joe dealt the cards, weakly brushing away midges and curly, black shoulder-length...
I'd had a few beers too many at the summer festival, and was in dire need of facilities so I could make room for more beer. Or so I thought. The lines for the port-o-cans stretched endlessly, and quite frankly I wasn't sure I could wait that long just to stand in a foul smelling plastic cubicle. I wandered off the main boulevard of the street fair and do...
People are always curious as to exactly how I came up with the idea for the Athena 2100. They are just astonished that a man in his early twenties could come up with such a concept and turn it into one of the world's largest money makers. Actually the Athena 2100 sells itself. As to how I came up with the idea, well that's the real story. I am James creator...

We arrived at Chloe's double wide trailer late in the afternoon. It was always chaotic around her place. There were was a white picket fence that had last been painted five years ago.

A few months ago, I went to a concert at a large amphitheater. My favorite band, whom I've seen play live two-dozen times, was performing. I was there by myself because a friend had canceled at the last minute. Kind of a sad sight - a 45-year-old single man, prematurely bald on top (but still in decent shape from running and working out) shaking his ass off...
The hot water in the shower splashed over Holly's tan body. Her eyes were sudsy as she scrubbed her short golden hair under the shower head. Soap suds slipped slowly, seductively down her 19-year-old's torso. Rising steam formed indistinct shapes around her. The only sound was the splashing of water onto the tiles at her feet. Then, there was a voice. "Don'...
Some kind people have suggested that "Educating Paddy" demanded a sequel. Here is the sequel, with my thanks. .......................... It was just over a week since the phone call had come out of the blue from Marge. "I need you to help me with Paddy," she had said. Not in my wildest dreams could I have suspected that helping Marge would involve fellatio...
NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA The thirty-year old Irish whiskey wrapped itself around the ice in Jacques Cartier's glass. He drank alone these days; safer for everyone around him that way, he reasoned.
