We worked together at a publishing company but not in the same departments. Len did maintenance at my job; I was a graphic artist. He was a long hair heavy metal guy, me, a short haired punk rocker. We were both married and had children that were the same age. He was also my weed connection. After my marriage ended, my relationship with Len continued. One...
That October day was cool and brisk.. As the leaves scraped along the cold dry pavement, voices billowed through her wind. It was 4 PM and daylight savings time had ensured a beautiful late afternoon. She had anticipated this atmosphere. This day belonged to her. Her plans to sneak away had been set in stone. Nothing could direct her attention from this...
The rest of the week passed uneventfully. Fred returned Friday. He noticed nothing, even when they had sex Saturday night. She couldn't help comparing him with her teenage lover. Poor Fred didn't measure up in any way. Eight days later when Fred had taken off on another trip she was wondering when she would hear from Tim. When she got back from taking Fred...
Monday night, in bed Dear V Drove in early this morning from the lake to get to my temporary job, the trial. The stately manner with which it proceeds, punctuated by long pauses, is beginning to get on my nerves. The lawyers and judges are constantly having little private conversations about what is allowable and what isn't for us delicate jurors to hear....
ROADTRIPS Early on, Dollie flashed from our cars and motorcycle many places. Taking road trips without the motorhome or pulling an RV was also fun. By now the kids were either staying home because camping was boring at that age or they were working. Our youngest, a daughter, and a girlfriend or two swapped parents for weekends or weeks at a time. Sometim...
"People always ask the wrong questions." A cloud of beer breath enveloped me and I looked up to see a typical Friday night lager jockey. Six pints in, tie askew, sweaty, aging skin loose and jowly. Washed up on my table, spun into me by a social eddy, pushed loose from his office friends by a strange current in the busiest pub in London. He looked down at me...

I'm going to be using this as a diary at the request of my new well basically she'll be my girlfriend soon enough right now we'll just call her my partner in crime. I'm never gonna write back dates but I have had an interesting life sexually up to now so sometimes I may flash back when a story is relevant. If you end up reading this and know me, never ask m...
Officer Robert Davis walked to the office where another officer had told him his wife was waiting for him. He was glad for the break. He was still pissed off that he'd had to come in to work on his birthday when he would prefer to be at home with Kellie. He walked into the office and closed the door. Kellie stood up. She was wearing an orange jumpsuit, the...
I'm rarely surprised by movies anymore. Most of the ones I count as good are still only mediocre and mildly entertaining. Rarely these days does a film really move me, take me out of myself, and leave me wanting to rewind it and watch it again. (And just as an aside: I miss hitting rewind on VCR tapes. Yet another thing to hate about DVDs, aside from all the...
