"Your body is fine, dammit."
I was getting into trouble, but I wasn't *about* to pimp out my wife, even if she thought it would prove that she was still beautiful. I told her that I didn't think having her whore around was the way to prove that, although, when I told her that, she said that it would be de facto proof she was still OK in the body department. This was really not going anywhere good and I asked her to just drop it.
But somehow, circumstances seem to conspire, sometimes, don't they?
Yeah, they do.
A month ago I attended an American Management Association one week workshop on Hilton Head Island. Although they strongly suggested attendees come alone, I arranged for Sam to join me on Thursday. I figured, after the thing ended Friday at noon we could have some fun there, or in Savannah.
The workshop was hard work. It was just one of three similiar workshops going on at the same time. Wednesday night, after a team dinner, I went to the lounge for some time alone, and a quiet drink.
Tomorrow Sam would be here, so things were looking up.
A guy about my age sits down next to me. "Hi, I'm Bill."
"Don".
A hand shake, a word or two about the seminars, and the talk continued on about other things.
Later that evening I told him "I have find a computer and get on line soon, need to check my e-mail."
"Hell, come to my room. I'm all hooked up."
His room was on the first floor. We walked in, and I saw the glass door to the patio open, but the screened part was shut. His room faced the beach. On the upper floors, like mine, what was his patio was our balcony. I asked him about the open door.
"It's pretty safe here, and I like to hear the waves coming in," he explained.
After getting on line, collecting my mail, and responding, he invited me outside for a beer.
The patio had a gated waist high fence, with a lot of shrubbery along it. It was private, and at this time of night, very dark. "I can just walk through there" - he pointed to a path thru the bushes - "to get to the beach. I go for a run every morning."
Talk turned to personal matters, with the usual bullshitting. "Married?" I asked. "No, but I sure like to go thru the motions. Except the pickings are pretty slim around here, aren't they?"
