  George and Dorrie’s wedding was right around the corner. Of course a few days before the wedding we may or may not have had a bachelor party for him. So this story that follows is purely hypothetical.   Unlike Don’s bachelor party, this one felt less dirty. We still h...

  A funny thing happened one day. Mark called me from wherever he was stationed in the Marines. It may have been West Virginia. What was even more peculiar was what he needed to ask me. With a sense of urgency he needed to know if I had Mary’s phone number.   “Now WHY w...

   I tried really hard not to let myself get attached to Chrissy again like last time, but I did a horrible job at it. I wanted to be around her all the time and she was the type of girl that craved independence. She was also very impulsive. That may have been what attracted…

  Paul’s father had passed away earlier this year so he had been kind of out of sorts, even for him. His father was a heavy drinker and when his liver started failing him, he was told he needed to stop drinking. He had done well for a while, but then he went back to…

 Every so often, Jay’s band, Clocktower, would play at a local bar called C.J. Bond’s. There was never a really big turnout, except for maybe their Halloween show. But this was in the spring. Pat, one of Jay’s friend’s that used to be in their band when it was called ...

  In the months that followed I kept myself occupied with miscellaneous activities. On Thursday’s we went bowling because a nearby bowling lane had a really cheap night. On Sundays we played softball. During the week some of us guys played a game called Strat-O-Matic Baseball.  No...

   After Halloween, I didn’t see Sarah’s sister at any of Jay’s shows. I was only slightly disappointed. I was hanging out with a girl named Maggie. It was mostly casual, but we had little in common. We just ended up being friends. She was one of the four girls I had t...

Jen and I talked all the time, even after she left  J.C.Penney’s. It had gotten to the point that three jobs were too much for her and her job at Penney’s paid the least so she ended up quitting. I knew that me not being a Jehovah Witness had always been an issue with her…

By Christmas Time, Dena and I had been fully dating again and getting back into the same bad habits. she was being anti social, and I was missing out on fun things to cater to her every whim.   Due to a shortage of money, Dena and I agreed to celebrate out Christmas on Jan. 25th.…
