I was driving with our daughter from the East coast to CA when the wife was sent to Mather AFB as a LT in the Hospital Corps. Military did all the heavy moving, took all my firearms with me in the truck. Only a couple pistols and 3 rifles. She met us in Reno for the night, Went into the hotel...
Working as a Teacher's Aide in a conservative rural High School I took my class to the library to check out books. Back in the room there was a minor commotion with lots of laughter at one desk. The book he had had naked women in cartoon drawings, very accurate naked women. I immediately took...
Apples are one of the few things I am a snob about. Has to be a firm Red Delicious that is cold from the fridge. Really good then.

I know your pain, wife died in 2007. The lack of physical intimacy caught me off guard as well. I was in my mid 50's...
Use my Blackstone a lot. Make about 400 smash burgers on it for each big track meet at the High School. Lots of work but they are fantastic and we always sell out.

Previous wife was an RN in a pediatric wing of a military hospital. Had an 12 year old that was pregnant once. All the police work had been done and she was having the baby.

Older brother was stationed at Dayton as the only Army officer there. He was a Colonel and was...
