Middle of the Night

One night I got home from work really tired.  I prepared my side of the bed to watch my Saturday night guilty pleasure, “Ghost Adventures”.  I got a drink and put it on my night stand; I got a couple of PM tablets to help me sleep and put them on the bed next to … More Middle of the Night

Magnums

Once when I was heading back to work from a break I stopped to chat with a young woman in another department.  I don’t recall how the subject came up but we ended up talking about Magnums (condoms).  For those of you who may not be familiar with this product, it is a fairly well-known … More Magnums

Pantyhose

In Texas, hygiene rules require that men and women wear some type of socks/hose when trying on shoes. When customers came in with no socks on their feet, we were required to provide them with some kind of foot covering.  As a result, we had “try on” socks for our customers.  They are essentially nylon … More Pantyhose

Plan Ahead

When you get to be my age, you can’t help but consider the fact that life is finite and one day death in inevitable.  I realize I am much closer to being made into a crispy critter than I made my initial trip through the vaginal passage.  Most people would much prefer being hit by … More Plan Ahead

Friends Indeed

Once I saw two elderly gentlemen (more elderly than Ed and I) in a store walking arm in arm while they were shopping. I approached them and said they were an example to all folks about the beauty of a relationship between two men.  I further told them my heart was warmed by their courage … More Friends Indeed

Walk This Way

There are many visuals that show that spring is here. Women begin wearing sandals, men switch from their felt fedoras to straw and gardens become freshly planted. At my retail gig, we have a sweet young female employee that provides us with another indicator of seasonal change. To protect her anonymity, I’ll call the young … More Walk This Way

Mardi Gras Experience

Before Katrina, Ed and I took a Caribbean cruise with our best friends.  The highlight of the cruise was two days in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.  None of us had been to Mardi Gras before and were looking forward to the festivities.  Upon leaving the ship we were thrust into huge crowds everywhere.  An … More Mardi Gras Experience

Marry Me

A couple years ago at my retail gig, I saw an elderly woman in a wheel chair accompanied by an attendant.  She was wearing a beautiful pink straw hat with a wide brim.  I went up to the woman and complimented her on her wonderful hat. She reached for my hand and asked if I … More Marry Me

Dick’s

I’m sure that everyone has had the experience where they meet a complete stranger and know immediately that talking to them is going to be fun. At my retail gig a gentleman came in once and I knew if was going to be fun to work with him. We spent more time talking than actual … More Dick’s

Just for You

A number of years ago I had traveled to Palm Springs to for a Trade Conference. It was February and thoughts of Valentine’s Day were in the air. There was free time between the conference sessions and meetings with clients so I headed downtown to look for a Valentine’s present for Ed. Early in my … More Just for You
