April 6: Decision to Hire Au Pair "It's just too much work with four kids!" My mom exclaimed to me. "But why do we have to get a teenage girl from outside the country? What about Michelle?" I replied. "Michelle can't always help us. She's only our babysitter once every while. Besides, this is a great experience that Au Pair Care is offering, she gets to s...
{Heidi, My blonde Goddess, By BigC.} I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason. Some of these people come for just a short time maybe for just a moment or a day, and others may come for a life time. But they all come into our lives for a reason, and it's true. Heidi came into my life for almost a year. She needed me and I needed her....
You scoot your chair back from the table, rubbing an eye as you take a moment to consider this glaring bright room and the truly absurd opportunity it offers. Oh, your summer job hunt had started typically enough: the movie theater, a few pizza joints, that doggie daycare place, any number of perfectly normal and perfectly dull prospects for the admittedly n...
*** I'm trying a new thing where, in addition to my current main line of stories, i will rotate in one shot shorts as part of a new "travel tales" series. This one is experimental for me. I wanted to write a story where I never gendered the protagonist. *** You were the girl in the window, the most perfect creature I had ever seen. The light was at an...
"Good Morning Class" I am Professor Justin Graves. I'll be leading your fresh young minds through Ethics 101. I know for some of you college has been stressful but hopefully we can make college life easier.

"Bon jour, monsieur! Did you know that we've literally been having sex in some form all night long? I don't think that you fell asleep at all. Then again, you're an angel now. You don't require sleep anymore, trust me. I think that you should know that you can now stretch your wings whenever you wish, but I wouldn't that in public, of course. People wouldn't...
Life can be real fun. Well mine is. There I was on East coast of Australia. Staying at a back packers hostel. It was the festive season and being the southern hemisphere summer, sub-tropical hot warm very pleasant. The sea the temperature of a warm bath 80 deg F (26 deg C). Yep you've got it paradise. My fellow back packers were from all over the world. A l...
I was minded to continue my 'Black Bottom' sequence, and Alan's alliance with Mrs Dzifa, and, perhaps, go on to when he and I became lovers twenty years later. But I will save those for now, because I am primed with my most recent adventure. Regular readers will know that I contribute to English Language courses around Europe. Costs are kept low, so the Jul...
I saw you one night. You didn't see me. I wasn't spying on you. I wouldn't do that, unless you'd asked me to. If you said, 'Look, I'm going to have a bath. I'll leave the door slightly open; just enough for you to see what I'm doing. I'd like you to watch me undressing. Why don't you spy on me in the bath. I'll pretend I don't know you're there', I'd do that...
They met in a graduate school dorm, where Bill was studying for an M. A. in English, and Ingmar was pursuing a Ph.D. in English. Appropriately, the Masters students lived on the second floor, and the PhD. students occupied the third, the top floor. Presumably, the mere undergraduates had the first floor. Bill was 22 and had come from northern Minnesota. Ingm...
