 A visit with her mother.by senorlongo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.The score was tied 0-0 at halftime. I waved to Steffi as she walked by into the gym. Her dad and Jeremy left to get some sodas out of their car. I found myself alone with Mrs. Goldwasser, her mother. “I want to thank you for last night, Rob,” she began. “You should know that Steffi and I have few secrets. She told me just about everything when she came in.” She saw the concern on my face and laughed, “No, don't worry. How many eighteen year old girls do you know who haven't had sex? What do you think I did when I was eighteen? I'm Jewish so I obviously wasn't trying to be a nun.“Until last night Steffi had sex with one boy. Now she's had sex with a man. Believe me, she much prefers the man over the boy. I've tried to explain how sex is about giving; both ways. Until last night I don't think she believed me. Now she does, so thank you very much. Don't mention anything to her father. He doesn't know and he acts like she's still ten. One of these days he'll wake up and she'll be engaged.” We talked about other things for a while until Jeremy and his dad returned with a cooler. I was offered a Coke, but I politely refused. However, I did accept an invitation to lunch.I walked down the bleachers to Steffi once the game had ended–a 1-0 loss on a penalty kick. I didn't know much about soccer, but I thought that Steffi had played well, not giving up any kind of advantage to the opposing team. I kissed her cheek and we talked quietly as we walked toward the school. I stopped outside after she told me she would see me after her shower. Her hair was still wet when she returned fifteen minutes later. I took her hand as we walked to my car.I was about to open the door for her when she spun me around and wrapped her arms around my neck. “Did you like the game?”“I liked the way you played, but I would have liked it better if you won.”“That doesn't happen very often; only once this year and we've played five games. This was actually one of our better efforts. Right now I think we should shut up and kiss.” It was hard to argue with that kind of logic. I leaned down slightly and pressed my lips to hers. It was just as sweet as I recalled. We kissed there for several minutes before we broke it, I think because she could hear my stomach growling.We were in the car when I commented that I'd had a very interesting conversation with her mother. “I'm sorry, Rob. I should have told you about our relationship. Mom and I talk about everything. I told her before our date that I thought I'd have sex with you. I knew; don't ask me how; that you'd be different; that you'd take care of me.”“I loved everything we did last night and I want it to happen again. I love making you cum. Watching you squirm around is a real turn-on. Oh; I have to go to a concert tonight. They want me to sing a couple of songs. The rest of the time we'll be in the audience like everyone else. I hope you don't mind.”“Gee; I get to go to a great concert and I get to hear you perform; why would I complain? It sounds great to me. We are going back to your house after, aren't we?”“We're going before, too. I have to dress, but I don't know what we'll be able to do.”“That's okay; I do! Let's just make sure we have enough time. Don't you have to warm up, or something?” I opened the door for her and we drove the short distance to her home. As expected Jeremy was out in the driveway with his basketball. He passed it to me; I dribbled behind my back and between my legs before taking a fifteen-foot jumper that hit nothing but net.“Awesome, Rob; can you teach me to do that?”“Well; I can show you, but it really is nothing more than practice. I used to practice dribbling with my eyes closed. The same thing about shooting with your off hand; it's nothing more than practice; practice; practice. You have to have some ability, but that alone won't cut it.” I passed the ball back to him and walked with Steffi into the house. Her father was already out back working with the grill. For someone whose job required incredible hand-eye coordination he was doing a terrible job. I offered to take over and he willingly walked away, leaving the grilling to me.Having grown up in an apartment I'd had no experience with any kind of grill until this past summer when I used one almost every noon and night until Carla and Joe were hired. I had learned a lot over those six weeks. I sectioned off the bulk chopped chuck with a steak knife and put my hands to work pounding out and shaping a bunch of burgers. Let's see; two for me, one for Steffi, one for her mom; . I made eight thinking that would be plenty. I seasoned them with salt and pepper and started the grill. Steffi brought out some rolls and gave me a kiss in the process. I was cooking away when she reappeared and kissed me again. “Uh; what's your dad going to say? Doesn't he still think of you as a ten year old?”“Unfortunately, he does, but he just went to the store. He'll be back in about ten minutes so I have that long to kiss you and convince you we need to do more later on this afternoon.”“Ha; that won't take much, but let's see you convince me.” She jumped into my arms and rammed her tongue down my throat. Steffi remained in that position for several minutes until I broke away to check the burgers. I had just put the rolls on the grill when her father appeared, explaining that he had forgotten his wallet. It was a close call, but I wasn't worried. I was pretty sure Steffi's mom had things under control and I found it hard to actually believe her father didn't realize that we had kissed a few times.I served the lunch at one o'clock sharp and I must have done a good job because everyone was stuffing themselves, including me. I suggested Steffi get ready because I would have to warm up before dinner. I explained that I always sang for an hour before performing to loosen my vocal cords and to check my pitch. I would have to do it early tonight because I was only a part-time performer and we were going to dinner first. She was ready just after two. I thanked her folks for lunch even though I was the chef. I took her hand and walked her to the car. Forty minutes later we were at my home. I took a few minutes to call the box office and order four tickets for Joe and Carla. I also reminded them that I would need two for Steffi and me. Both sets would be at the “Will Call” office.CHAPTER 4I turned around once I was done to find Steffi naked in the hallway, shaking her hot ass and waving those smooth white globes in my face. She slowly back-pedaled up the stairs, playing with her tits and leading me to the bedroom where I was sure she had some plans for me. I shed my clothes as I followed so all I was wearing were my sandals when I entered the room. She fell back onto the bed as I approached and I made a big show of “falling” onto her. We came together in a tangle of body parts. I kissed her lips before working my way down, kissing her neck, her tits, her belly. I stuck my tongue into her navel. She was obviously ticklish because she jumped up shrieking with laughter. I continued my journey down to her abdomen and my ultimate target. Once there I pulled her on top of me, her tasty cunt just over my chin.Steffi ran her fingernails up and down my shaft, teasing me as my cock jumped in response. I began to eat her delicious cunt; she lowered her head onto my cock, washing it with her tongue as she sucked and bobbed up and down. I attacked her cunt with my mouth, first covering the entire surface with my lips and sucking mightily. This caused her labia to engorge. In seconds they were swollen with her passion. I move in to her core, teasing her tunnel with my tongue. I knew I was getting to her in the same way she was getting to me. Steffi was squirming all over me; I was humping her mouth. I doubted that either of us could do anything to control our movements.I knew I was getting close so I shifted my attentions to her clit. I sucked it between my teeth, nibbling and sucking simultaneously. She came hard and fast, flooding my mouth with her ejaculate. I barely had time to warn her, “Steffi; I'm close.” She paid no heed and took my hefty load into her mouth and throat as a result. She squeezed the last drops from my wilting cock and licked them off with a smile. I could barely move so I pulled her around to me so I could hold and caress her while we recovered. We rose about twenty minutes later and showered. Steffi dressed and combed her hair while I put on my navy blue suit and tied my tie. Once done I went down to my studio to run through some scales. I always taped my practices so I could play them back for review. I was finished by five.We drove into Boston, heading for Faneuil Hall where I had reservations at Durgin-Park, famous for generations for its massive prime rib and seafood. It was an extremely expensive restaurant, but I was being well paid for my work tonight and I could afford to treat Steffi well. She had certainly treated me well over the past two days. We arrived on time for my 5:45 reservation. We dined extremely well and I drove over to Mass Ave. in plenty of time for the concert at Symphony Hall.We were seated on the aisle at a table in row eight and the usher showed me how to get onto the stage when called. My cue occurred when a huge screen was lowered from above the stage. An interview with Andrea Bocelli was played. I kissed Steffi and stepped into the aisle, from there to side of the stage. Bocelli was asked about young talent to replace the aging tenors, many of whom were now retired, and recently deceased Pavarotti. “There are several fine young tenors,” he said, “but the most outstanding comes from right here in the States. I've had the honor and pleasure of performing with him; Rob Kerwood is the outstanding tenor of the future.” The screen was raised to reveal me standing at a microphone center stage.The backup singers began without introduction, “Once you have found her never let her go; once you have found her never let her; .”I jumped in over the last, “go,” and sprang right into “Some Enchanted Evening,” following the rendition made popular by Jay Black and the Americans way back in 1965. I was aware of the first four or five words then I was somewhere else. Autopilot was the best way I could describe it; I was no longer in front of thousands of strangers; I was in my own mind relying on my years of instruction and practice. It was only at the very end of the song that I came back. The song ended and I bowed to the enthusiastic applause. I even heard a few “Bravo's” coming from the audience. I could make out Steffi and I could see she was beaming.I moved easily into my second song, “The Impossible Dream,” without saying a word. Everyone knew the song and it was very well received. It ended to very strong applause. I spoke now for the first time, “I really love this song because I live the impossible dream every day. I grew up in a single parent home, a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor above a busy street and a liquor store. My father took off before I was even born and my mother struggled to get by, often working two or even three jobs. I know of the sacrifices she made to get me to Julliard for lessons every Saturday for almost ten years. For me to be here on this stage is truly the impossible dream.”I went on to introduce my next song, “Every March there is a major singing competition in Dublin in which one and only one song is sung. Last year more than 1500 competed and I'm proud to tell you that I was the winner as I was the prior year. I hope you enjoy this song as much as the judges did. I'll bet that many of you know the beginning of this song, but that few know the ending which is very emotional. I couldn't get through it without crying when I first tried to sing it. Of course; I was only seven at the time.” There was some laughter in the audience and when it ended I took a deep breath and launched “Danny Boy.” My voice was full of emotion as I told the story in song of an old man who sends his only son off to war and prepares him for his return whether the father is alive or dead. It was one of my best ever performances. People leapt out of their seats when I finished and bowed. I turned to acknowledge the orchestra and I was truly astonished to see that they were standing and applauding, too. There were many calls for an encore.Conductor Heath Lockner told the audience of my concert series and asked if I could sing one of the Christmas songs. I suggested “Oh, Holy Night,” but the orchestra wasn't prepared so I decided to sing “a cappella.” I moved away from the microphone. I didn't need it if there was no orchestra behind me. I knew from experience that my voice would easily be heard anywhere in the auditorium. I could hear a pin drop, that's how quiet it was as the song built. I thought this was the most beautiful and by far the most difficult of the Christmas songs. I finished to wild acclaim, thanked Heath and the orchestra and strode off the stage and back to Steffi.It was intermission so everyone was up and about. I was stopped several times for my autograph before I reached her. She jumped into my arms and kissed me. “Oh Rob, you were fantastic; incredible. I can't believe I was actually here for it.” I put my arm around her and walked her up the aisle to where I saw Joe and Carla sitting. They greeted me with huge smiles and introduced me to their daughter and her husband. I could understand why they didn't like him; he came off like a cold fish, devoid of any personality. Worse, he couldn't help but scope out Steffi's body right in front of his wife. We chatted for a minute before I excused us, using thirst as an excuse.We ran into Stan, the business manager, in the lobby. He was ecstatic. They had sold more than 500 tickets to my future concerts during the intermission. He bought us a couple of Cokes and some popcorn. I shook more hands and signed more autographs on our way back to our seats. I took a close look at Steffi once we were seated; I saw total love and lust in her eyes. I was extremely pleased with both. Once the lights were dimmed she pulled my hand to her crotch. It was soaking wet; I was sure her dress was ruined. I looked at her again; she smiled lamely and shrugged her shoulders. “I couldn't help it. I love the way you sing. I didn't tell you, but I had two orgasms in Mrs. Sherman's class. I held her hand and gave her cheek a peck as the concert began again. We enjoyed the music, but, truthfully, there was somewhere else we'd rather be; home in my bed. That's where we were at 11:00 on the dot. I figured that would give us another hour or more of fun before I had to take her home.CHAPTER 5I opened the door and stepped aside for Steffi. She ran past me like she was on the soccer field. If I thought she might be tired I was definitely wrong. She was upstairs with her clothes off before I even made it to the bedroom door. “Eager, aren't we?”“You're damned right; clothes off now!” I almost laughed, but I could see how serious she was and this wasn't a time to start an argument. I folded my jacket over the chair, followed seconds later by my tie, shirt, pants and boxers. My shoes and socks fell quickly to the floor. There was no hiding my excitement; it was standing out perpendicular to my body and it felt as hard as a rock. Steffi reached for my hand and pulled me onto her. Her lips reached up for mine and we met in a sweet delicious kiss. I fell the rest of the way to the bed, savoring the sensation of her perfect smooth skin. Steffi's body was still tan from the summer with only her tits, pubic area, and ass snow white. I wrapped my arms around her, my hands finding the smooth globes of her ass. My fingers ran up and down her ass crack, pausing to tickle her puckered star. Steffi noticed immediately.“Oh! What are you doing back there?”“Just playing with one of the most sensitive parts of your body; did you know there are more nerve endings in your ass than in your cunt? If your cunt had as many as your ass; all you'd want to do is fuck.”Steffi laughed hysterically. “All I want to do now is fuck; you.” She gave me that little girl pout look that they all seem to know so well and is so effective on guys; except me!“Are you trying to tell me something, because I'm having trouble following you.”She gave me an exasperated, “Ah,” and pushed me onto my back. She straddled me and sunk swiftly onto my hard cock. “Do you understand me now? This is what I've wanted all night and I'll want again tomorrow and the day after that and; .”I put my fingers up to her lips. “I really do understand; it's exactly what I want, too. I don't know what I did before I met you, but I know this; I want it to go on and on and on. You're wonderful and you fuck pretty good, too.” She took one look at me and laughed. God, I loved the way she laughed. In fact, I loved an awful lot about her, especially the way she fucked.Steffi began to rock, grinding her clit into me. “Isn't this what they call clock management in basketball? Take a quick shot in the hope you'll get another before the end of the half?”“Huh?”“That's what I'm doing here; working for a fast one so we'll have plenty of time for another before you have to take me home. What a waste of time, taking me home. I should just stay here all night then we could really fuck.”“Maybe, but here's a thought; when I was a kid I wished we could have Christmas every day until my mother explained that having it once a year made it special. Having it every day would make it ordinary. Now, I'm not suggesting that sex with you would ever be ordinary, but there is a limit as to how often we can do it. We need to cultivate other interests, but not now. Oh God; definitely not now!” Thrusting into Steffi, I lifted her from the bed. We were both into it now; desperate to cum, needing to cum as much as we needed to breathe. We drove into each other at a furious pace; I could see the determination on her face and I was pretty sure I had the same expression on mine. This wasn't going to last forever, not at the intensity of our mating. Suddenly, Steffi's expression changed; she was feeling nothing but rapture now. She was only seconds away which was fortunate because I could feel it mounting deep within my groin. I pumped harder; faster; until at last! We erupted together like two volcanoes. Steffi shook with convulsion as my semen poured into her womb. Her eyes were glazed over when she collapsed onto my chest. I checked the clock; 11:13; not bad, we may yet be able to fuck again exactly as she planned.There was no rush now; we lay there together, two lovers in their post-coital bliss. I'd heard that expression before, but until I had met Steffi I thought it nothing more than a myth. Now there was nothing I enjoyed more than snuggling with her at this time. She lifted her head almost a half hour later, a silly grin on her face. I leaned up to kiss her which only served to make her grin bigger and sillier. I was about to ask her about it when she spoke, “I love doing this with you, Rob. It's so satisfying in so many ways. I can't even explain how I feel after you make me cum, except to say that I feel totally at peace. Does that make any sense?”“I think so,” I replied as I pulled her back to me, holding her even tighter than before, if possible. “I feel pretty much the same way, as though there's nothing in the world except you and me. The feeling is so exhilarating, like my whole body is glowing. I know it's awfully early in our relationship, Steffi, but I think I'm falling in love with you. I can't imagine living without you.”“Oh Rob, I feel the same way. I've never known anyone as sweet and loving a

Even in times of rising inflation, people seem to be going out and spending money. This is likely to occur for some time until things are too expensive and we fall into a recession or in stagflation state.At the moment the world has a handle on Covid and entertainment venues are filling the seats. So when going to an event, the question is: do you buy your tickets right away or do you wait? If it is a can't miss, people will pay up.If you decide to wait, there are many apps out there to buy tickets in the second hand market.So for the next question: is it better to wait until to purchase tickets right up until the event occurs.Typically this is a good strategy, but more so when the event is not sold out as venues want to fill their seats.Recently, I went to a baseball game on Memorial Day weekend and it turned out that it was less expensive to buy the seats at Will Call rather than through an app. This is because the demand was high.As for sporting events, if the team stinks or you don't mind showing up after it starts this will save you money.Another strategy is to search for events straight through the venue as you can find packages that will include parking. We have found this to be advantageous. We parked close to the building and saved money. There's nothing like paying $60 bucks to park, right? The bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer.As for my wife and I, being spontaneous keeps life interesting - we hop in the car, find an event and we keep some of our money from going to the overpriced ticket brokers.

This episode discusses  the Game Time app and goldstar site for ticket deals. Intro and outro @nikkos_ramone. Recorded and edited @mzoundz. We've all heard of Ticketmaster and StubHub, but what about an app where the prices go down, the closer it gets to an event? I found one during COVID and I swear by it. It is called game time. Welcome to the short form podcast, Drea's point of view. I am your host, Drea, and I would like to invite you to follow this show on Twitter at Drea Point. And Andrea's point of view on Instagram, Facebook, Clubhouse, and Pinterest. Last year when I reviewed that tour with New edition, I used the app about three hours before and get tickets for half rice. A few months ago, when I was looking for a wardrobe tickets, but didn't make it. I was on the game time app. I watched those prices decrease the closer I got to the show. And when I decided to purchase, it said that I would have a ticket sent to my ax account. So you do need AXS to access this and or You can also get an email, but it varies. But a x s, that's another account like StubHub where you can get tickets as well. You have to all that day, I had trouble accessing my account. So I was unable to buy those tickets, but they were fifty dollars to go to the American Music Awards, where the lowest price of tickets on other sites was one hundred dollars.  In case you're wondering it was at a small venue, so there aren't really any bad seats. You can purchase sports tickets on there as well. I know I've gotten a couple of good seats for less at some NBA games. You get to see a 3 d view of your seats, which is what I appreciate. Another app which is pretty good at giving you deals is GoldStar. You can see plays, concerts, and sporting events to have off. Some days, I'll even post twenty dollar seats. I've been able to experience so much from these apps. A few events may want you to pick up your tickets at Will Call. Recently, I was able to score tickets to see Katt Williams and Friends for half off over the New Year. So the next time you wanna check out an event, especially last minute, check out the game time app or gold star dot com for deals. It will really come in handy with all these tours coming up this year, especially those of you who are a part of the beehive. Judging why those ticket prices though I may have to sit that one out. Please do me a favor and hit that subscribe button for me as well as subscribe to my YouTube channel. I don't want you to miss any of the multiple episodes I have for you weekly. This show wasn't to make you change your mind, but simply to listen to Drea's point of view. Thank you for listening.

This week we discuss 'The One Thing' by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan. A really interesting read in the area of productivity and lifestyle design which covers the way in which we can prioritise daily actions which serve our greater goals. We talk about the lies we live; by that everything matters equally, that multitasking is possible and how work/life balance isn't a thing amongst others. Also... The Focusing Questions: 'What's the ONE THING I can do such by doing that everything else will be easier or unnecessary'. We also unpack the concepts of the domino effect, extreme pareto, living by priority, living with purpose, sitting in discomfort of letting other areas of life fall behind as you pursue your one thing, living for productivity and time blocking. A really great way to view the different areas of your life and to put what matters first to get the greatest results in line with your values! Hope you enjoy.

Even in times of rising inflation, people seem to be going out and spending money. This is likely to occur for some time until things are too expensive and we fall into a recession or in stagflation stateAt the moment the world has a handle on Covid and entertainment venues are filling the seats. So when going to an event, the question is: do you buy your tickets right away or do you wait? If it is a can't miss, people will pay up.If you decide to wait, there are many apps out there to buy tickets in the second hand market.So for the next question: is it better to wait until to pruchase tickets right up until the event occurs.Typically this is a good strategy, but more so when the event is not sold out as venues want to fill their seats.Recently, I went to a baseball game on Memorial Day weekend and it turned out that it was less expensive to buy the seats at Will Call rather than through an app. This is because the demand was high.As for sporting events, if the team stinks or you don't mind showing up after it starts this will save you money.Another strategy is to search for events straight through the venue as you can find packages that will include parking. We have found this to be advantageous. We parked close to the building and saved money. There's nothing like paying $60 bucks to park, right? The bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer.As for my wife and I, being spontaneous keeps life interesting - we hop in the car, find an event and we keep some of our money from going to the overpriced ticket brokers.

Writer, frequent Frot guest, and Executive Producer for Abbot Elementary and Harley Quinn, Justin Halpern rejoins Matt and Vince to talk about the penultimate episode of The Sopranos, season 6b episode 8, “The Blue Comet.” Pay your last respects to a loving father, good earner, dutiful husband, and model train enthusiast, Bobby Bacala. From Junior's driver, to redundant upper management, Bobby lives in our hearts, and in the ziti he left in his freezer. Other notable dust-biters in this episode: Bert Gervasi, two poor Ukrainian suckers who answered the door for the wrong Italian DHL driver, and a guy riding his motorcycle past the Bada Bing at the wrong time (probably).

In the wake of the November election, people across the country have seen fear and anger and exclusion become part of a national public conversation. Many people are sharing the experience of feeling that they do not belong in their familiar places. It's called othering — making someone feel pushed to the edges, unwanted or different. It can happen in daily meetings and conversations, at work, at school, even at home. In the Berkshires, movements are growing in response, art and lectures and performances and rallies, to explain what othering means and what it looks like — and to draw people together instead.

Like Summer itself, “Orpheus in the Berkshires” enters the scene with a flourish. A wildflower bouquet of textures and colors, the piece immediately charms, providing just the right touch at this season's picnic of theatre offerings. In its creation, the production of “Orpheus,” from the Williamstown Theatre Festival, redefines the phrase, “community theatre.” Reframing the concept as an artistic mission to embrace an entire community as both inspiration and raw material, playwright Lucy Thurber and director Laura Savia create a fantastical world that is as familiar in its faces, strengths, and  problems as the whole of the Berkshires itself.

Deirdre Flynn Sullivan joins us again for a Young Adult and Children's Literature episode of “Will Call,” and she chooses the “Hero's Journey” as our topic, which seems an appropriate, if less than obvious, direction to take this holiday season. The hero's journey, or monomyth, is a common pattern followed by tales from all manner of genre, whether epic fantasy, science fiction, or drama. A hero sets off on an adventure, and, during a decisive crisis, wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.
