I’d walked down to my local Publix for the first time on Monday morning and I was actually a bit stiff the next day.   It took me about an hour overall, but/… Read full post »

She had completed everything that she needed to do as her break approached.   She had seen him again when she first arrived for her 3:00 to 11:00 shift.  She knew he was still there because she’d seen his car in the parking lot.  Scanning the parked cars for the/… Read full post »

Dashed off quickly, and hot while the feelings (so elusive) are there, fresh and immediate, almost before I hang up the phone.

I am unaccustomed to such phone calls… the ones that come in at 11 PM to advise me that you will be working until 7… Read full post »

I was recently asked, “Why do you love me?”  For the first time ever, I had a legitimate, honest answer that I completely understood and knew it to be true.   I answered, “Because you make me want to be a better man.” 

You would think this… Read full post »

 It’s a full body blanket that I unknowingly pull up over my head. Unlike the blanket on my bed, it does not stymie my breathing or make me blind in a darkened room grown blacker.  It covers my body with joyful well being.

It’s the realization that I’d… Read full post »

I’m stiff.  I must have dozed while sitting in front of the television.  I don’t recognize what’s on the screen at the moment, and I can feel my back complaining from the odd angle of my body. 

It’s only a few minutes after 11 PM.  I never/… Read full post »

The set-up for the evening was perfect.  He still had her scent in his nose when he left the house that night.

She had been feeling frisky. After all of these years they could read each other effortlessly.  When he’d remarked that he might “take out the/… Read full post »

I am Mr. Green.  I have been Mr. Green since the wars began.  The opportunities to conquer the world have continued to lessen even more since the California Upheaval, but I have not completely retired from the game.  Mr. Yellow has some ideas.

I am writing to my blog again.  I actually created a previous post this morning as soon as I concluded a two hour video-conference call that began at 9 AM Eastern.  Our video-conferencing tools allow me to observe and host and participate in meetings right here/… Read full post »

My first wife was a fashion designer.  When I first met her in New York City she was attending the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and then went on to the Parsons School of Design.

First Love 

Whoever came up with the idea of putting these cafes in book stores is all right with me.  I was sitting in the Starbucks cafe at Barnes and Noble, enjoying that rare commodity called idle time.  I’d already selected “The 8^th Confession” by James Patterso/… Read full post »

I am supposed to be stronger than this. 

If my father saw me now he would once again have to suppress thoughts that his son was not acting like a man.  ‘Having girlie problems.’  ‘Men don’t cry,’ he said.  ‘Men deal with their problem… Read full post »

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,

There's a wacky kind of irony in using a photo that's more than twenty years old to begin this post.  I really do value my privacy, regardless of this rather public stroll down memory lane.  I believe I was at my 32nd birthday party when… Read full post »

Having just returned from picking her up at the airport

No.  I really don’t want to see them.  I don’t even really want you here again. I agreed to this because I’m either lonely or losing my mind.  Probably a bit of both!

The intensity of her pleasure blew my mind that night.  The moment of her climax would come and stay for magical bundles of drawn out, lingering seconds. And I'd learned to predict her pleasure… Read full post »
