Most major corporations expect their employees to be involved in community activities, and it is essentially required for senior-level executives. I am an executive vice president for a major financial services firm in the greater Newark, New Jersey area. I have always enjoyed my time spent benefiting our surrounding communities. My name is Stuart, and my wife, Jody, and I were forty-six years old at the time of this stor...

In Part One of this story, I describe how my name is Alexis, a thirty-four-year old family doctor who is the team physician for a traveling soccer team. My husband, Ed, traveled all the time for his import/export business and his little cock isn't very satisfying anyway. My son’s name is David and he is sixteen years old and on a team made up of sixteen and seventeen-year olds. I was friends with one of the mothers, an In...

It was very difficult for my son, David, to make the boys traveling soccer team in our small, suburban town near Miami.  But after many years of effort and practice he made the team.   I am a family physician and agreed to be the team doctor free of charge, but he made the team before I agreed to provide medical services. The previous team physician, Maxwell, was my partner in our medical practice. He retired from all med...

My wife and I were born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota and our family moved from there to a suburb of Baltimore in the summer when our daughter, Kayla, had just turned sixteen years old and was going into her junior year of high school. She had been taking gymnastics since the first grade and was one of the best gymnasts in the state, so we were hoping that being in sports would help her get settled in her new school. ...

,I think it’s fair to say that most people don’t grow up thinking about running for political office, and it’s usually personal circumstances that evolve to encourage them to do so. That is certainly the case with my husband Ed, and you might be interested in learning the path we took to his becoming elected to be the State Representative for our district in 2012. My name is Abigail, but everyone calls me Abi, and Ed and...

My husband and I usually like to spend our summer vacations somewhere warm – Florida, Cuba, Mexico. Anywhere that we’ll find lots of sun, sand and surf. The prices are lower, the crowds are thinner, and we end up getting pampered by the staff, who are grateful for our business. However, this summer, my sister Marisa and her husband Paul had an opportunity at renting a beautiful cottage in the Muskoka’s for a fraction of t...

One of the perks of working for a large corporation with global interests is the occasional opportunity to travel internationally at the company’s expense. In my case, I'm a senior chemical engineer for an oil company headquartered in Houston, and periodically traveled to one of our petrochemical plants in Puerto Rico. It's not technically international travel since Puerto Rico is a territory of the US, but it was a welco...

It's difficult for many people to learn foreign languages, but I was lucky to have an aptitude for it. I could fluently speak, read and write Spanish by the end of middle school and I became fluent in French and German in high school. It was clear to me at the beginning of my senior year in high school that I wanted to attend a college that specialized in the language arts. I still didn't know which languages I wanted to...

Most of my friends and I were probably considered to be geeks by the popular kids in our high school in Houston. We spent most of our free time in one another’s basements playing video games and teaching ourselves computer and video technology. But it turned out that it wasn’t a waste of time. By the time I graduated, I had a deep understanding of basic electronics, video and computer technology and was even an accomplish...

I opened the door to my cottage and took out the bundle of cash I had been given by Mr. Wayland. I rolled away the carpet on the floor and opened the hatch down to my personal safe. It was a brand new one that Mr. Wayland had given me as a present after I had finished the nursery. He claimed that he was forced to give me a place to protect my valuables and money that I had earned. I enjoyed the loud slam the safe made whe...

I smiled as I surveyed the struggling body before me, “Jesus fucking Christ, Becky. It’s a single push up, how is it that you can’t do this one simple thing?” I was being mean, I knew I was. Becky and I loved to tease each other, hell it was our favourite way to break up the working day. Run P50i forms, grab a coffee and spend a discreet ten minutes poking fun at each other in the break room. Lately however our idle teasi...

My husband, Ed, and I live in the Miami, Florida suburbs, and he is a resort development and management director working for a resort management company in Miami. One of the perks of his position is us being able to attend two industry conventions each year, and this allows us to meet the executives from other companies in the resort industry. My name is Marci, and we're still young in our late twenties, and hadn’t had ch...

My son Tommy and his wife Sofia also live in the Houston, Texas area.  He’s a field engineer for a large oil company there.  He is twenty-seven years old and Sofia is twenty-five.  They have a six-month-old daughter who Sofia is breast feeding.  My name is Matt, and my wife Sandra and I are in our late forties and live only about ten minutes away in another suburb of Houston.  I work as a mid-level manager for a large rea...
