Do you believe in love at first sight? Well I sure do. Happened to me back in my last year of high school. I'd grown up in Los Angeles, California and was very comfortable in my neighborhood. I had lots of friends and interests. I fit in. Well, my parents decided it was time to "Move on" and sold our old two story home on the Angeles Mesa and headed out to...
Loosening Up -- Book 10 -- Road Trip: East Chapter 1 -- Florida Dave panted to a stop in front of his house. This was the end of a five-mile jog with Bridget. When he could talk, he gasped, "You do this every day?" "Yep. I really feel great the rest of the day." "All right, take me with you every day until I leave. I didn't realize I was so out of shape....
The big red digits of the electronic watch showed it to be 3:00 A.M. She couldn’t believe that it had happened again.

When and where are interesting, but what motivates the individual players and teams involve...

He didn't want to be here in the first place. He was uncomfortable at these affairs. He never knew what to say. He had nothing in common with any of the people who w...
My husband of twenty-six years, father of our twenty-five-year-old daughter, just told me that he fantasizes about me sleeping with another guy while he watches, a black guy to be precise.

Mark had been working at the company for about 5 years. He got along well with his co-workers though the friendship was limited strictly to work and work functions. That is until Bob came to work on Mark's engineering team in October and in no time at all they were fast friends. They were about the same age, all of their kids were in college or recently grad...
This is the sixth Part of a Novella, covering the tortuous and seemingly endless mind games of a very high value takeover of X Co Ltd on the NYSE.
