I was expecting you would appreciate this one SIr 🙂 thank you. I do hope this is not the last we hear of those ideas!

In the woods, I feel the city slip out of me, I feel those ‘primal’ things rise up to take back that space. I hear bird songs run from beginning to end. I feel dawn and dusk and twilight rise and fall with all my senses. I…[Read more]

I cannot help but be a glutton, returning multiple times to sample every dessert offering, taking time and care to admire every part of the presentation.

Ha! Catching up on everyone’s fantasies, and love the charm of this one.

I love to know a man’s mind… To follow the ebbs and flows and wandering thoughts. Was there a specific focus? a visual or cue? And every effect body and mind… I want to understand it so clearly that my stomach grumbles from their appetite.

Hmm. Catching up in reverse…and I know how the story ends….

You know how I enjoyed bathroom sex already, need I say more?

Oooohhhh…this is lovely! Does your M work in the same office as you or would he have had to visit you and be announced from the front desk? I also think we all could use a little more about your office and just how formal and large it is…and maybe a little about your position (not what you do, but in terms of prominence or seniority?).…[Read more]

@MrTt .. Plan worked flawless, though I feel like a may owe Mallory a cigar or something – liberties were taken! (Well at least in my mind anyway)

@SirJames – He does not work at my office, but funny you should ask, because an occasion is on the horizon where he will be in our offices for business completely separate from anything to do with…[Read more]

So MrTinkertoys, When are you jumping in here to play with Mallory and me?

I say it counts, productivity however might be a concern!

This not a tight correlation to your story, but for some reason is making me think about how much I like to run as fast and as far as I can in the rain. I wouldn’t want to be in real danger (my daredevil days are long behind me), but I would like to run in as close to hurricane weather as I could without it being an actual threat. Maybe even be…[Read more]

Ooohhhhh yessie yes!

This story once again really highlights how well you write Mallory. You take what’s interesting about the experience and really make it pop in a way that sweeps the reader up into the same emotional journey. I must confess, I want to plagiarize you like you wouldn’t believe 🙂

Our lives today are very much high speed and remote. I am old fashioned and believe that your thoughts on conversations are quite accurate. It is a little harder to hide in conversations. Conversations do take time. And time, enough of it, will be the true test of sustenance and consistency. Investment in time is necessary to learn about him…[Read more]

I also really relate to your points around the deterioration of the real art behind conversation… Funny you should mention Jane Austen in the same story, whose dialogue is so concise and loaded with meaning and innuendo and tradition… And so different from the way we approach ‘trendy’ dialogue today. I am not just old fashioned, I’m actually…[Read more]

Your sensitivity is seductive as always, E. Here’s to other bicycle paths and the laps of men who know how to talk.

Well there clearly is consensus in these parts around the notion of how technology can act as a barrier to real intimacy. Connecting directly with others is as fundamental to our well being and happiness as anything else we could do (I actually think it is more important than anything else). The real problem lies in the fact that modern…[Read more]
