We all looked forward to renting the houseboat every year on Lake Powell. Three couples, six very good friends, swimming and boating out of range of cell phones and TV. No catching up on work on a laptop, or dealing with crises on a cell phone. Completely off the grid for two weeks. "Hey, Riley. I wasn't sure you'd answer your cell. Sorry to bother you at w...
When Chief Cave Lion and his party reached the top of the ridge above the Mountain Valley after their first ascent, they could now look across a wide vista of valleys and hills peppered with bushes and thickets. There were patches of snow that had fallen earlier in the season but hadn't properly settled. Horse and antelope galloped over the coarse-leafed sav...
The trip to Las Vegas was everything I thought it would be; a week-long party. Val chartered a flight out of the small Napa airport. Apparently, this was as easy as calling a Taxi. We packed enough to survive for a week, making sure to take extra drugs and medication since I was certain that would be the preferable choice, to his dialysis machine. Not that I...

They were notorious; famous almost. Salacious details of the exploits became Internet folklore, the stuff of legend. Everyone knew of the McAllister family. The fathe...
Hannah felt a thrill of excitement the evening when her pager displayed a message asking her to drop into the Prime Minister's office. In her time in Parliament she'd worked diligently for the Party, always voting and speaking on-message, asking incisive questions as a committee member, making occasional appearances on serious TV shows, but not enough to be...
I thought it was at John's dinner party when the first seeds of the transformation of our marriage were sown. I was wrong. One of the guests, William, had turned the topic of conversation to his own area of expertise—evolutionary psychology—and had the avid attention of the table. To be fair, he didn't bring it up, he was merely countering the opinion of Joh...
Every year, my wife Dawn and I spend a three-day weekend at a mountainside resort in New Hampshire. Once the holidays are over, we meet with a few dozen friends at a chateau-style lodge and rent rooms or cabins. It started as a group of eight outgoing couples—old college friends and their spouses. Each year, we became friendlier with members of another group...
