Living Up to My Promise....

I told the group I would begin blogging consistently, so here I go...Day 1...20 more before it becomes a habit. I really enjoyed the Group last night and completely agree that the cold snapped all of us, but spring is right around the corner, right????

Write About a Forbidden Activity

It is the gentle snort and snuffle of his wife's snoring that lets Ernest know the coast is clear. He slowly rolls out of bed, pausing for just a moment should she feel his movements. Carefully avoiding the areas of the floor which creak and moan, he tiptoes out of the bedroom, blindly feeling his way down the hall. His navigation of the staircase mirrors that of an Alpine skier; his path cutting down the left of the stairs to the right, cursing under his breath and pausing in mid-stride whenever a step groans loudly in the night. With his breathing labored and the sheen of perspiration, he makes his way to his office where only then does he feel safe. The soft glow from the computer monitor beckons him as it has done on countless nights like this. His fingers caress the keyboard lovingly as he types his way to a world where he is no longer a frustrated middle-age man, married with four children, and in a dead end job. Tonight Ernest is the man that women all over the world desire. Tonight in the cyber world, Ernest becomes RomanticMan4U.
