By George! The King Drifts Along
Having lost one handler and gone on to another, King George IV lived… much as he had before. Things certainly did not improve after Canning took office. The King took great pleasure in slighting Canning at every opportunity. Not to be wondered at, really, since Canning was opposed to nearly everything His Majesty wanted to do. The King’s foreign policy was, in essence, simple. The crowned heads of Europe should be united in their opposition to anything and everything democratic. […]

Suzie’s House 129: Caught Empty Handed
“I don’t have to go!” Lisa stood on the front porch a beamed. “I don’t have to leave town after all. So, um… about the tickets…” Ben just about swallowed his tongue. He even choked a little. “Tickets?” he said in a tight voice, thinking about how happy Miranda looked when he gave them to her. “You don’t have to give them back,” Lisa said real quick. She held her hands up and waved them like to say she wouldn’t […]
In Concert
Click on picture to go to hub. It isn’t just the music. It isn’t merely glamor. It’s more than flicking a Bic, screaming, or dancing in the aisles.
