Incredulous! I could not believe that he had pulled up behind me with those lights flashing and spinning.  I’d watched him climb awkwardly out of his car, and then he was leaning heavily against my open window. His mustache was in my face and level with m/… 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.

He knew that she had been feeling randy. After all of these years they could read each other effortlessly.  When he’d remarked that he might &… Read full post »

I was in the Bronx to attend to some stressful affairs.  The snow storm extended my trip for an extra day after the airports closed up Wednesday afternoon.  On Thursday morning, after about an hour spent freeing the car, we paid a couple of local kids to dig us out.&… Read full post »

It’s hard to imagine that I grew up here in the Bronx.  I’m standing on Gun Hill Road, with slush from the passing cars on my trousers.  It’s still quite cold, but I am hoping that LaGuardia will be open today.  Yesterday they cancelled my flight./… Read full post »

I am the world’s greatest listener. 

My ears have nothing to do with my skills. I use them for telephone conversations and as most excellent support for my glasses. The words that come out of the mouth will confuse me if I grant them too much importance, but I will… Read full post »

His wife told to me to "Follow my heart," after explaining that a lot of people had also requested time to say a few words.  "This minister likes to stay on time."  (Earlier…I think she had also said that he ran "a tight ship?" Did he even know your frie… Read full post »

In January 2009, I wrote the following post in a blog entitled, "Keep Those Miracles Coming, Leon Will Blog On." 

"For those of you who may have been aware of my good friend's surgery, Leon has apparently sailed through like a champ.  The tumor was thankfully not as sever… Read full post »

I am well aware that she is too young for me, but I can exercise a fan’s prerogative here if I wish.   I think Zoe Saldana is seriously hot.   I thought so when I first saw her in Drumline and I’ve never once changed my mind.

The anxiety in his scent blended so sweetly with the filaree in bloom that she almost missed it.  The darkness had been more destructive than usual this pre-dawn morning and his aroma revealed actual damage to his limbs.  This knowledge caused her to briefl… Read full post »

On numerous occasions and in several posts, I have sought to explain my status as a rookie among a field of genuine writers.  I wandered in here one day… and I stayed.   I read a great deal, but other than proposal writing, customer project reports, deve/… Read full post »

I love you so much, that at times it’s problematic.  You can imagine that this places me in very unfamiliar territory. 

Discovering Facebook has been tremendous for me. Mostly, I’ve been able to locate people in my life that I’d thought were lost… Read full post »

The dream was happening in a department store, with digital televisions of all shapes and sizes all around me.  Some were monitors that looked more like movie theater screens than television sets.  There was someone speaking to me from behind… and I see/… Read full post »

I divorced the Dancer when I realized that she was serious about not wanting children and because she lacked the ambition that I felt her talent called for.  The Juggernaut divorced me because she needed more security than my life style provided.  The Care Giver, so far,/… Read full post »

Warning:  If heights genuinely upset you... I suggest you turn back now and don't play this video.  

 A co-worker shared this with me and completely blew my mind.  If you have already seen it ... you understand.  If not... you just have to endure a brief introductory ca… Read full post »

I was less than thrilled to watch the coming attraction of one of the newest comic book characters to make it to the theatre screen.  I can forgive them for trying to make it a comedy.  (I think the upcoming Green Lantern is going to be equally sorry.)  My real… Read full post »

I’ve been mistaken for Anger more times than I can count.  This does not surprise me.  Anger is by far the more easily recognizable of the two of us.  Anger will typically wrest control away from deliberate considerations, and reveal itself to the world i/… Read full post »

Waiting for a friend to die is a bitch.

My children are here for the Christmas holiday.   My daughter made her airline reservations months ago and my son has brought his girlfriend here to finally meet his father.   She seems so very young, but I am remin/… Read full post »

The man watched people heave a sigh of relief as they entered the Delta Sky Club at Washington-Reagan International.  He thought he understood their unspoken sentiments.  The elevator to the Sky Club on the third floor stood immediately beyond the personal invasions now accept/… Read full post »

I am looking forward to seeing the new George Clooney movie, Up in the Air, because I suspect that in many ways I will be watching a videography of my own life...  or at least a substantial part of it.  A moviefone synopsis describes the plot in/… Read full post »

It was way past time for me to start getting my flabby ass in shape. 

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 »

 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 »
