[Ed. Note: A new poll went up just a few days ago to decide "Book Club picks for Jan. and Feb. 2019" and I didn't want to interrupt that process. Further, our polls are limited to 8 choices and this submission had many more than that. Given the timeliness of the topic, I decided to run this as a story, instead. Have Fun!]

takyon: Changed to an <ol> since users are posting #s.

    Would this be the same "man" who's footing the bills for your roof, food and meds?

      Some of them are quite hot.

      As I write this, my new squeeze is in the bathroom doing bathroom stuff. Shortly she will get in the shower; she asked me to wash off her back.

      Then she and I are going to get into bed and...

      ... sleep.

      We've both had really long days. "Sarah" - not her real name - are quite comfortable together; it's as if we've been married twenty years.

      It was that way with Bonita our first few years. The whole time we were together we often had this same experience. One factor that I long ago realized was that our marriage worked its very best when Bonita and I worked together towards a common goal, as when we were repairing some problems with our house in Owl's Head Maine, as well as when we were packing up to move to Truro, Nova Scotia.

      Rather more important, Sarah and I just this very evening discussed some "Withholdings", that is, things that we each needed to get from each other. To establish that we really would give each other what we require established a rapport between she and I that in my actual experience is uncommon between _anybody_, let alone romantic partners.

      In other news, she's going to blow me after our shower.

        Are you sure this "Sarah" isn't actually "Ms Palm"?
