The atmosphere in the boys’ car is much more relaxed now that Miss Polly is driving with the girls. Her husband, Craig, is much less intense than his wife. “Danny, you got that Zeppelin tape with you?” Craig asked when the radio went to commercial. “I do.” “Got a perfectly…

I got a little feedback, about what I expected. It’s my own form of proving Einstein’s definition of insanity correct. But I keep hoping…. In any case, after careful reflection and weighing the pros and cons of each choice, I decided to present First Love. I know that no one…

Austin finds himself in a quandary. He’s highly attracted to Liat, which is made all too plain when he kisses her. Flustered by his reaction, he has a mild panic attack. Here is a woman he likes and respects, has to get naked with, and knows he will embarrass himself.…
