8-12-17 Party Buddies

It's strange where my mind goes sometimes when trying to find its happy place. Today it roamed until it found Betsy's file. I was in the hospital recuperating after the break up from Sherry. David who was an orderly there and who's house I would crash at sometimes when I was too drunk to drive brought Besty by one day to cheer me up. I had spoken to Betsy from time to time on my rounds but I figured she was out of my league.She was older and taller than me. She had long brown hair and brown eyes and was tan with long slender legs. She wore glasses and had that nerdy librarian look about her. She didn't seem to mind that I had issues. She lived in the nurse's apartments behind the hospital. She gave me her number and told me to call her when I got out. I did and we went to the Ramada Inn lounge to party.She drove a Mazda RX 7 and it had a straight stick. To me, there was something sexy about a girl that drove a straight stick.I was already high before we met and she drove us there. We arrived and she went off dancing with other guys.That was ok I was there to listen to loud music and do a lot of drinking.We left from there and went back to her place where I passed out but I remember her kissing me before I did. She got up the next morning early and went to work she told me to crash out for as long as I need too.I did and left late morning to go home and change clothes and make a run to the beer store to restock my cooler. That night we went back out but this time I wanted to remember our time together. We got back to her apartment she put some Fleetwood Mac on the stereo. I remember Christine McVie singing Warm Ways we were lying on the floor making out.We became pleasure playmates kinda like Bill and Monica.We never had an emotional relationship just party and pleasure. Her father ran the News Herold paper in Morganton and her brother was some kind of finance person. She took me to a party once and we met I don't think they cared for me too much.I didn't care Betsy was having an affair with a married guy but that didn't matter either. All good things come to an end and after I left working at the hospital I never saw her again. Thanks for the memories Betsy. I thank you and my brain does too.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
