The day was hot, really hot. The kind of day where, if you weren't on the water, you were wasting your time doing anything else. We were blasting along Lake Pleasant, the inboard behind us spinning at high revs. Gary, at the wheel, was enjoying the feel of the warm air blowing through his hair as he stood looking over the windshield. My wife, Donna, in the o...
After that first week together 3 months ago when Stacie met Jason, the Weary Traveler, they knew they would get married and have lots of children. Or at least they would get married. Jason's job as a teacher sometimes made him question if he wanted to come home to his own children after dealing with other peoples' kids all day long. Every weekend after thei...
All the people in this story were 18 or older, some elements of the story are true, all names have been changed. Jane and I were wanting to get back to the Ohio River for some boating and skiing and decided to invite another couple (Darrell & Ellen) who we knew to be adventuresome. We finished loading the boat about the time Darrell and Ellen pulled into...
Ski Day The icy wind battered our cold hunched bodies propped up by ski poles. I looked at my wife Stephanie and my buddy Nick - I shouted, "Last run, cut to the trees." The wind propelled us over the crest and finally its effects were muted; my skis and legs buried under parting, fluffy, white powder. We floated into the trees, billowing streaks of blowin...
My name is Vic Thomas and I am 68 years old and this is my strange tale about my journey wit a woman named Evangelina. It all started about eight years ago. I had been married to a wonderful woman for 35 years but she was struck down by dementia. I had been taking care of her at home for a couple of years but things were becoming increasingly difficult. My...
I've been super tight with my two girlfriends, Sasha & Kathy since we met back in college. The three of us are thick as thieves and the bond we formed has grown with each passing year. Together, we've achieved the highest of accomplishments and endured the worst of setbacks, like a car accident and a cold Christmas this past year -- 2019 -- alone. I began re...
Greetings all; in my stories my characters exist in my head, but there might be real life inspirations for some of them. Who knows? I'm back with another story. This time I write about a couple of cultured married ladies named Nora and Edie who are looking for excitement while on vacation in the Caribbean. They meet an old school player named Jerome who is...
"Come on Cat, we're gonna miss the plane!" Gary was always in a hurry and didn't like waiting or being late. Cat was the exact opposite: Like most engineers, she was slow and methodical. She preferred being prepared to deal with all possible scenarios and hated being rushed. Examining her neatly organized suitcase, she finally decided she had packed everyth...
Rendezvous at Grand Lake I was awake in Amelia's bed in Steamboat Springs, feeling groggy from too much travel and too much excitement in too few days. Domestic noises were coming from the kitchen and I thought about my two companions and the funny phone call with New York last night. I stumbled to the kitchen. They looked up at me in the doorway, shook t...
There were four of us couples that had been friends for a long time. Sometimes only two or three of the couples would get together, if someone had something else they had to do. But mostly, it was the eight of us getting together to have fun. Dancing, picnics at the beach, barbeque, dinner out, just what ever we thought might be fun, and maybe different. We...
