SEARCHING FOR A REASON
A woman I once knew summed up women this way. If a Woman is married- she is content- but not happy. If a Woman is single- she is happy- but not content. These days I have moments when I am both. I am happy and content with Randy. We have a nice time together. The uncomfortable silences......Read More

THE GRAND GREEN DRAGON
Randy took me to the Suffolk County Fair with his daughter Amanda and her little obnoxious friend. We no sooner walked through the gate before Randy had won his daughter a stuffed GREEN DRAGON.

Meet The Mother
When he first asked me out…I said no. Well, honestly what I said was some kind of weird excuse that wasn’t quite English. We both walked away with a puzzled look on our faces. I felt awful about it- he worked downstairs. We would run into one another from time to time. I could tell......Read More

DAZED AND CONFUSED
It’s my Birthday. I am 35 years old. I am sad. I usually am on my birthday. At the last possible second I decided that I didn’t want to work on my birthday. So, I burned a vacation day. I met Randy at the office and faxed some papers for him and then went to Lowe’s to buy......Read More

CLOSURE
Joey and I broke up in May of last year. In July he remarried Cindy. I had kept all of the letters that he had written me over the years.

CHASING DARKNESS
When I first moved to my new neighborhood in the trees the absence of street lights puzzled me. This neighborhood has no lights- for miles. At first it was very difficult to navagate the main road through the darkness. The curves were unfamiliar to me. I have become accustomed to the......Read More

OLD THINGS
Randy is 18 years my senior. I have often made fun of women that date men so much older. I had always told myself 10 years older was comfortable…but really 15 was just too much. I didn’t know how old he was when I first met him. I had assumed he was actually 10 years younger......Read More

In Self-Defense
At times my job requires that I wander through the woods. Deep into the forest all alone. A pad and pen my only company. My weapon a machete. Everybody needs a machete. I do well with the dogs. They are usually quite fond of me. I have developed a reputation for it. Whenever a job......Read More

Writing on the Wall
It has been going down hill for some time. I came in Friday morning to learn that the department below me will be getting new employees on Monday- contractors. Everyone is furious and frightened. It has been a little over 3 months since the mother company sold us. The changes that have......Read More
