The oh so charming nephew Stephen called and we chatted a bit. His wife, Julie still will not come back or work on the marriage. This no longer surprises me as I've had to reevaluate her the past month or so. While sinned against and having a MAJOR right to be hacked off and expect a husband to ACT the part this 'tough love' process seems to have the effect of keeping the pot at a seething level rather then cooling things down. When I moan and groan about my three guttersnipes in ...
The Spice Market She wanted just the flavour of love, the briefest touch of it on the tongue. Love like cardamom, warm and mellow. Love that was safe.

What would I do? Well, I have ...
I was pretty old, comparatively, the first time I ever got drunk. Not really drunk exactly, but definitely with a buzz on after drinking beer. Not a lot of beer just maybe 3, 4 or maybe 5. We were out at my parents camp, where I grew up as a kid in the summer. It was pretty warm out that day, but not sunny. The clouds were kind of dark I remember. Anyway, somehow, somebody and I got into our canoe. It wasn't a couple of strokes before, you guessed it, we capsized. That's the boaters way ...
