The time, mid afternoon on a winter day. And Geoffrey Gage was on his way to visit his lover, Rosemary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Geoffrey was a retired former government employee in his mid-late fifties. He had a trim athletic figure which he kept that way with plentiful exercise, a square determined face and a head of hair beginning to grey. A widower by status, he had moved up to the Mountains on his retirement.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tie Up Games</title><link>/stories/2014/06/16/tie-up-games/</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/06/16/tie-up-games/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(Content warning - young girls playing tie up games)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Betty and Hugh received their invitation to Rob and Ann’s costume party early in October, they had a hard time coming up with a good idea for costumes.  They wanted something that went together, but still a little unusual and catchy.  Hugh especially wanted his wife to dress in something sexy.  They looked at several costumes and narrowed it down to a couple select items when Betty took a cue from her husband’s name.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
