  • The Escape Room

    In the year 2019, I remember going with my friends and the last day of high school to an escape room. We each chose a different room because we wanted to see who could escape the fastest. Melissa took "The Curse of the Mummy" room. Sam chose "The Space Chase" room. I cwww.onedoor.cchose the so-called easiest "Super Hard Spy Mission" room. One by one my friends completed the rooms but I could not figure mine out. "Hey, Melissa, where is Jordan?" says Sam. "I don't know. Do you want to get some ice cream?" Melissa says scatter-brained.

    Entre Nous

    Being a writer, poet, artist, and lead singer of a rock and roll band was not easy for David. Back in the early 1980’s, hair was the prevalent look-long curly hair and tight spandex-y leather with a vocal range that could break glasses. Guitar solos made or broke a song and young women would buy tickets much to the chagrin of their rocker boyfriends. The 1980’s hair bands were the “in thing”; young women acting like proverbial prostitutes to get backstage to touch or even have sex with one of the band members. When it came time to put out, the girls would say either yes or no-most of the time...58Gone door
