Pretty Woman Valentine

 It was the day before Valentine's Day and Harry was walking back to his desk at the end of his lunch hour. He chanced to look down the hallway and saw the curvy figure of Sally, a pretty administrative assistant chatting with Max, one of the production analysts. Harry had often seen Sally and Max enjoy lunch together. They seemed to be good friends. He wondered if they kept company after work too.

Irritated by this tête-à-tête, Harry changed his direction and headed toward them. As he approached, he overheard Max, "...and I like the paddle shifter. It's cool."

Harry interrupted, "What car is that?"

Max answered, "BMW 650i."

Harry said, "Man, that's an expensive car. Who would spend a year or so salary on a car? It's a foolish waste of money."

Max shrugged and replied, "Some people like that sort of thing."

Harry said, "Absurd. A car is a depreciating asset. In the end, you have nothing."

Sally jumped in to say, "Well, what's your weakness?"

Harry pursed his lips as he came close to blurting out, you. Instead, he said "Women."

"Really," exclaimed Sally. She hooked her arm in Harry's, waved at Max, "see you later," and led Harry down the hallway.

Harry's heart raced at the warmth of her so close. His thoughts lingered on the feel of her as her hips rubbed on him with every other one of her steps.

"How do you feel about sharing?" said Sally. "You share some of the contents of your wallet and I share some of my charms?"

Harry turned and looked at her pretty face for a few seconds, at the soft curve of her lips, then the larger curve of her breasts. An urge rose in him to hold her and to never let her go, to keep holding her until she and himself merged into... a couple?

Smiling, Harry answered, "I would like that."

Sally returned his smile, "For you, because I like you, I have a first-timer rate."

"OK, when?"

"Are you free tonight?"

"Yes."

"Great!" Sally's smile widened, crinkling her eyes, "Meet me in the lobby at 5. We will have dinner at a Mexican restaurant and then go on from there."

"I look forward to it."

Sally stopped walking, released Harry's arm, turned to place her palm on his chest. No longer smiling, she looked directly into his face. "And Harry, there is one rule in all this, no falling in love with each other."

Harry frowned, leaned in, kissed her lips, and whispered to her, "It's already too late."

The Fire

It's funny how you can learn new things. About 20 years ago in Northwest Atlanta, an apartment building burned flat. It was December, and the area was experiencing a cold snap. One man was especially cold because he hadn't paid his power bill and his heat was shut off. He had one heat source: a barbecue grill that sat outside on his balcony. He dragged it into the living room, tossed in half a bag of charcoal briquettes, and lit it. He was reasonably warm and comfortable for part of the night.  But then something happened. Perhaps the man got too close to the grill and tripped, or he kicked it in his sleep, or maybe a dog ran through the room too fast. Regardless, what happened was that the grill turned over. In a matter of seconds, the rug had caught fire. And the curtains, and the couch, and the walls, and the ceiling. The building had apartment units on both sides, and there was a firewall down the center, so that if one side of the building burned, the other side would be p

                          Important announcement to my faithful readers (all four of them): I'm employed again. My last gig was, shall we say, seasonal employment with a company that lots of people get packages from. That was January and since then I've been living on Social Security. There used to be two Social Security recipients in the house, but now there's just me, so extra income was needed. I had a pretty good idea of the type of work I wanted to do, and as of tomorrow, I'll be working for, well, let's call it a big-box store. This is pretty exciting. So, right after I finished the nuts & bolts part of the interview, where they get my consent to run a background check, etc., the man behind the desk said "Okay, so, if you want, we start orientation tomorrow at, oh, let's say 4:00 p.m. That work for you?" Um...yeah... I mean, you tell me, okay dude? Or should I test this and see if Orientation Dude feels like waiting for me to stroll in at 7:0

There is controversy about the name of the Washington Redskins, an NFL American football team.  American Indians, who are considered to be red in skin color, are opposed to the name of the team.  They feel that it is demeaning.  I cannot speak for American Indians but I do support their right to chose how they are represented in the world. So, the Washington football team will have to change their name. They are dragging their feet about this. They have temporarily chosen The Washington Football Team as a new name. Very unimaginative.   The Washington Football Team should quickly announce a name change as that will force all their fans to buy new sports stuff with the new name. Money, money, and more money for the team. So what should be new name be?  I guess that Washington Tomahawk (an American Indian axe) is out.  Washington Senators has already been used so that is out too.  Washington Congressmen ?  Nope, Congressmen are at the bottom of the Washington pecking o
