Long before I met my wife I was driving to a girl's house for our first, and last, official date.

With the internet, access to pornography is easier then ever and its viewing has become common place. The fact that this question need even be asked is evidence of that.

Saying what is on ones mind can cause a lot of trouble.

When I was about five I attended a Christmas holiday family reunion of sorts that I will never forget. I wish I could report that what made this event unforgettable was warm memories of my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins some of whom lived out of state.
