When Warren Met Gwen, part four
For their second “official date”, Warren and Gwen decided to meet at the Bird Sanctuary and go for a little hike. They agreed they’d walk about 3 km or so and, if they still liked each other, they’d follow that up with a warm meal and perhaps a couple of stiff drinks.

Not Just for Auld Lang Syne
Sitting around my house this past week or so has given me much time to reflect. My kids aren’t little anymore - they’re all adults doing their own thing. Sure, they made time for their mama, and for that I’m grateful, but I recognize and appreciate their shared need to have their own plans and schedules.

The Perfect Day
It’s that time of year again - the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, there is a holiday buzz in the air that at once brings excitement as well as a sense of overwhelm.

When Warren Met Gwen, part two
Gwen lay in bed that night struggling to find sleep. She was ruminating over all of the brash statements she’d made to Warren at the pub earlier that evening.

It’s all Gerard’s fault. He planted the seed: About a year ago, he sent us a picture of himself after having completed the 1998 Dublin Marathon. I sent a text message to Victoria saying that “we should keep this event in mind for some day”. Almost immediately, she replied with “How about next year?”

The Legend of the Giant’s Causeway
It’s been said: behind every successful man is a woman. This can be just as true in legend as in fact. Having been exposed to a bit of Irish folklore during my recent travels, I’ve decided to share a tale - but from a slightly different slant.

Tomorrow Never Knows, part eleven
While Fergus turned down the bed sheets and lit some candles, Neala availed herself of the facilities. As she washed her face and hands, she decided to use a washcloth to give her lady parts a little dab and freshen up. She adjusted her boobs to make sure that her nipples were both lined up and facing the same direction. Then she rinsed her mouth with a little bit of toothpaste, ran her fingers through her hair, and returned to Fergus’ bedroom.
