Sliding Through Life

As you slide down the banister of life,

Here is a story shared with me by John Earl Spencer. It made me chuckle.

Fondling In Bed

After 20 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife
felt her husband begin to fondle her in ways he hadn't in quite some time.

It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back.

He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his down over her breasts, stopping just over her lower stomach.

He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, caressed past the side of her breast again, working down her side, passed gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf. Then, he proceeded up her inner thigh, stopping at just the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right side, suddenly stopped, rolled over and started to watch the TV.

As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a longing voice.
"That was wonderful. Why did you stop?"

He said, "I found the remote."

Twenty-five years ago today:

February 8, 1984
Wednesday

Helen and I went to the Joseph Magnin store together. She looked at a few dresses (Yawn!) while I stood around to give my opinion.

I spoke to Michael Padazinski on the telephone during my last break. I had to inform him of the 'mandatory overtime' this Saturday. We had scheduled a lunch meeting in Menlo Park to see his new pad where he his training for the Seminary. I agreed to call him tomorrow to hopefully reschedule.

Helen and I went walking around Emporium Capwell department store. I tried on a red Speedo bathing suit. I may buy it for my vacation this summer to Huntington Beach. (It's possible.) I eventually dropped Helen off at her hairdresser.

I stopped by on Dad and ate some of mom's homemade lasagna and a bit of rice. I received a clock--in the mail--that I had won as an incentive prize from work. It's a pretty nice round wooden kitchen clock. Thank God tomorrow is payday. I received my VISA bill today (an ugly total amount due of $420.00).

I watched very little TV tonight. I received a call from the CCAC (California College of Arts & Crafts), informing me that my Calligraphy class had been cancelled. I quickly fell asleep at woke up at 11pm to see The Tonight Show.
Joan Rivers was supposed to be hosting for Johnny Carson but did NOT. How disappointing. She cracks me up.

I plan on an escape soon by seeing the 'Fanny & Alexander' classic this coming Saturday night.
