Friday Fantasy (Flip of the coin)

“Oh please,” I moaned, “no, no more…”
“You want me to stop?”
“Yes. No. Oh, dammitdammitdammit!“
We had cooked dinner, cleaned up, and she suggested that I take a nice shower before bed. “And make sure you shave for me,” she admonished. I knew she wasn’t talking about just my chin.
A half hour later I was restrained to [...]

Thoughts on “Thoughts”

Despite the aftermath of the Great Comment Fiasco in the Autumn of 2006, Ms. Susan herself has opted to comment on comments - to the delight of all nineteen of her most devout readers.

A Scene in the Vineyards

I can’t possibly comment on this, for I have not the words. Or rather, I have the words, but reading her latest post has shamed my tongue into uncharacteristic silence, if not paralysis.

Damn good.
