NYTimes.com

The New York Times hosts a series of Q&A sessions with its own editors and staff. On April 21, the guest was Khoi Vinh, design director of NYTimes.com.

It's a fascinating look at how one flagship paper presents its news on the Web, made astounding by this response to the observation that NYTimes.com maintains consistency across browsers and platforms:

It’s our preference to use a text editor, like HomeSite, TextPad or TextMate, to “hand code” everything, rather than to use a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) HTML and CSS authoring program, like Dreamweaver. We just find it yields better and faster results.

Holy guacamole!

Vinh makes a distinction in design spheres of influence, which is one that the next teacher of JOUR 428 needs to take into account.

When most people hear "design" and "NYTimes.com" together, they usually think of the wonderful interactive graphics or multimedia storytelling done by our colleagues on the graphics and multimedia teams.... Though we do work with these teams in a support capacity, it's not the core of what we do. If you think of their work as design for the content that appears on our site, then you can think of the work that my team does as design for the framework for that content. Which is to say, we create the underlying platform on top of which the content sits.

No, I'm not teaching JOUR 428 next year. It was ripped from my grasp by an incoming full-time faculty member. I'm not as bitter about this as I was two years ago, because this time the person replacing me is qualified. I assume.

Luck connection

We're back home. thanks to a healthy dose of luck.

When I booked our flights back in February, our return home consisted of two flights. Continental 9300 would leave Freeport at 1750 and arrive in Fort Lauderdale at 1835. Air Canada 927 would take us from Fort Lauderdale at 2050 and arrive in Montreal at 0010.

Some time after that, Travelocity notified me that the Air Canada flight had been rescheduled to earlier - it would now leave at 1845 and get in at 2205. That was no big deal. We'd spend two fewer hours at my dad's place, but get in at a more reasonable hour of the night (for the kids). Of course, we would have to leave Freeport on an earlier flight, as well. You can't get in on one flight at 1835 and expect to leave on the next at 1845, can you?

So the friendly Travelocity agent who had called me rebooked us on CO 9307, which would leave Freeport at 1510 and land in Florida at 1555.

With the modern miracle of electronic ticketing, all you have to go on is the itinerary you get in your e-mail. So we did that, arriving at the airport at 1345 or so.

We received our boarding passes to both flights at the Continental counter in Freeport. I noticed that our seats were scattered all over the aircraft, which is not what I want to do with two kids. I had reserved all three seats in row six when I booked the flight. I complained and the disinterested lady at the counter put two of us in row six and one in row five. At that point, I decided to accept the tactical victory and not expend the effort for more.

We passed through US Customs. When the cubicle agent asked what food we were carrying, I had to explain to him what matzah was. Maybe I didn't explain well enough, or maybe he was suspicious that I declared that we had bought nothing to take with us, or maybe it was random. Or maybe he just suspected all Jews. Whatever the reason, we were directed to the search and probing room. A nice young lady agent chatted with my kids while she looked through our bags. She only asked if the pill bottles inside the plastic bag contained prescription medication (they did) and whether Child Two really travelled with only two pairs of shoes, because she can't imagine a girl going with so few shoes. We avoided any probing and proceeded to the waiting area.

The gate agent called for boarding flight 9307 and we went through to the aircraft, but there were people in our seats. I thought the check-in agent had screwed up but when I looked at my boarding pass, I saw that the flight listed on it was scheduled to leave at 1750: flight 9300. At that very moment, the anxious gate agent came onto the plane and pulled us off. I protested and used a swear word that begins with "f" and ends with "ucking better not miss our connection in Fort Lauderdale" on the tarmac, but I calmed down. It wasn't this guy's fault and he promised to help us out.

As soon as 9307 left without us, the gate agent devoted himself to my cause. Although my boarding passes for AC 927 showed the flight leaving at 1845, his monitor showed it leaving at the original time of 2050. Well, I thought, I guess there was an unreported change back to the original schedule. Either the boarding pass or the computer system was wrong. I had nothing to go on but faith at that point, so I chose to believe things would work out.

Amazingly, the Freeport waiting room has free wireless, so I dashed off an e-mail to my dad. Then I watched the Thursday-night TV I'd downloaded Friday.

We arrived in Fort Lauderdale's Terminal One ten minutes ahead of schedule - lucky. Our Continental boarding passes did not have the Air Canada gate or terminal information. The departure screens did not have that information either.

I found an agent busy typing away at his computer, with no line-up to see him - lucky. He told us to go to Terminal Four for all Air Canada flights but as we started to walk away, he told us to hold on and he asked another Continental employee about that. No, the agent corrected himself, it was Terminal Two - lucky.

We hustled outside and walked to Terminal Two. Fort Lauderdale has no connections between terminals and I never saw a shuttle bus, so we walked. We had waited and waited for a shuttle bus I never saw on the way into Freeport, so I knew the drill and we instead walked over to the next terminal - lucky.

We had to again clear security in Terminal Two and there was no one in line - lucky! (That one deserves an exclamation point.) We cleared through and found a departure screen, and it listed AC 927 departing at 1845, which was six minutes from then.

We jogged as quickly as an encumbered eight-year-old can jog to the gate where I saw no passengers and three Air Canada employees milling around. I asked if this was the flight to Montreal and if it was still at the gate. It was and it was. I said we were supposed to be on it, and it clicked with one of the employees that we were the three missing passengers.

They put us on the plane. I guess no one had been waiting to fly stand-by - lucky.

In Montreal, the Canadian customs agent grilled my children and asked me not to guide their answers, asking them when they would next see their mother. They hemmed and hawed a bit, which made my heart skip a few beats. I had told the kids that Elvi probably expected to pick us up at 0010 and we'd have to call her to come get us earlier if she were even at home. So they didn't know what to answer at first, but came up with the brilliant improvisation of "When she picks us up from the airport." Yes! I guess the agent was suspicious of my declaration of $20 worth of goods (matzah and cheese) and also asked the kids if we'd gone souvenir shopping and Child Three piped up "No, we didn't have time."

Luck continued to roll with us because Elvi for some reason checked our flight info around 2000 instead of an hour or two before we were expected and already had arrived, so she was waiting for us when we made it out.

I'm too relieved to make it through the night as well as anyone could have conceived to pursue the screw-up, but my dad isn't so willing to let this drop. If he discovers anything, I'll let you know.

The vomit comet

My dad took us up in his plane yesterday afternoon. Technically, I took us up, since I was doing the flying, including take-off.

Children Two and Three occupied the two rear seats. I was in the pilot (left-hand) seat, but as I explained to the kids, I'm only a glorified passenger. I can fly sufficiently, but I have neither a pilot license nor the desire to pursue one.

My dad was in the right seat although he owns the license and the plane. He works the radios and performs pre-flight checks while I do more or less all the manual flying.

The sky was bumpy. It was all I could do to stay within 200 feet of our 1,200-foot leg outbound. It was considerably easier once I got trimmed out, but the kids handled it less well. Once they let us know they were queasy, I did a 180 (sadly, a shallow Cessna banked turn and not a half loop over the top) and headed back to the airport.

But it was too late. Child Two hit the barf bag with no collateral damage. Child Three, whose vomit skills I have praised in this very blog in the past, tried to tough it out - perhaps because I have praised him so mightily thereof. He couldn't. He reached for the bag but before he could bring it close enough, he lost it.

Later, when we examined the result, my father couldn't believe the size of the hot dog chunks. He doesn't think Child Three chews his food.

Still in the plane, my father couldn't smell anything, but I could. It smelled like someone had turned off the refrigeration at a salami factory. And, yes, I started to get nauseated. In order to forestall a disaster of Pythonian magnitude, I fully opened my air vent but that didn't help enough. I turned over control to my father and stared resolutely at the sea. He took us the last ten minutes and landed instead of me. Given the wind and the less than graceful landing at my dad's experienced hands, that may not have been a bad idea anyway.


Bonus meaning of Passover:

I've been meaning to comment on B. Glen's screed on Passover, but idiots and vomit keep getting in the way.

What I can add is that Passover is a uniting holiday for the Israelites. I don't take the Passover story as literal truth. I think it's likely that some portion of what became the Kingdom(s) of David and his heirs was a tribe that escaped Egypt, but that the bulk of that nation was already found in Canaan. I think David ruled over an agglomeration of tribes that united in peace and war.

Passover is a story that brought (and brings) together these separate entities and forged the nation. The ceremony dictates: you are all Jews and you all experienced this. Whether you're from Goshen or Jerusalem or Moab or Newark, you are a member of this family and you must experience the common experience.

Passover in this respect resembles the Fourth of July for Americans, or St. Patrick's Day for the Irish. No matter your origins, you celebrate your national holiday. It's inclusive, and that's exactly why it exists.

Assholes

You may have heard that a handful of morons vandalized police cars and shops after the Habs won round one of the playoffs.

In the "duh" department, here's a quote from Beverly Best, a sociology prof at Concordia (quote taken from the Gazette):

"This can't just be about hockey. It has to be symbolic of something else. There has to be some other source, some other feeling of dissatisfaction that can't be expressed in an everyday way. It's a form of dissent."

Ya think? Of course the vandalism has nothing to do the hockey. It's a combination of dispossession, alcohol, and a lack of adult supervision. We can't cure the first without either 100 years of enlightened social policy or labour camps; we can't do anything about the second; but we can do something about the third. Yes, a stronger police presence can help, but instead of a wall of riot police, might it not be more effective to station two officers at every shop? Or one? I suspect the city does not have enough cops to do that, or enough money to pay them.

Good thing we have hundreds of city councillors to debate the idea.

What the police did do was close to that concept, but there were simply too few men in blue. They mingled instead. They need to catch the culprits and quite publicly try them. Convictions need to lead to significant jail time. Consequences need to deter the acts.

Another thing we could use is a healthy dose of vigilante justice. You see an asshole, you grab four justice-minded friends and beat the shit out of him before he sets anything on fire or breaks any windows. And, later in the year, get liquored up and visit him at his birthday party and kick him in the nuts to help him celebrate it.

You may choose from a selection of hoodlum videos here.

P.S. I'm not one of the assholes. I'm in the Bahamas, remember?

It's adequate in the Bahamas

We had our seders and we're dividing our time so far between the TV and the pool. (Sorry about my simian partial nudity. Don't click if you don't want to be able to count every hair.) The kids and I are watching a ton of movies. I saw "I Am Legend", and I have to say, I like the alternate ending better.



(Although this alternate ending kinda glosses over the fact that all bridges to Manhattan were destroyed.)

On the plane down to our stop in Florida, I watched "There Will Be Blood" - most of it, anyway. The movie was longer than the flight so I missed end of that one. The entertainment system shut down as Plainview asked Eli to admit he's a fraud.

I had been planning to get to work on a second take of the historical biopic I'm working on, but I felt crappy all day yesterday, exhausted and achy in the head. I think it's enforced caffeine withdrawal, as my father went decaffeinated a few years ago and the rest of the house followed. If that's so, I should feel better soon.

More humid than expected

Water is my nemesis so far this trip - to Freeport, Bahamas, by the way. It's a bit too humid for my taste in heat, which ranges from Sahara to Mojave on the moisture scale.

Worse, and more expensive, is the tapwater, especially when mixed with my native idiocy.

I put my contacts in yesterday to go out for supper. I ran out of the simple clean/rinse/store all-in-one solution on the first contact lens and opened the bottles for the two-liquid cleaning process on the second.

After rubbing the lens with the cleaner, you're supposed to rinse it off in running tapwater. I did, and the lens slipped out of my finger. Fortunately, I had closed the drain so I didn't lose the lens. Unfortunately, the strange surroundings disoriented me and instead of shutting off the water, I opened the drain.

I asked the wife to order me a new contact lens Monday. I'll need it ASAP so I can wear it for hockey which starts mid May. Yes, I did find a hockey league to join. I suspect the quality of play may rank below my own. We'll see.

Now, if only this headache would go away....

Southbound

While today was a fabulous day up here in the Great Brownish North, here's what I face over the next week and a half:

Second places

I know at least one of you readers finds my sports posts boring. You can wait for the weekend, when I post from a place in the sun. Meanwhile....

The Irrational League is in full swing and I'm in second with 54 points. First place has 64.5 points and third place has 50. It's shaking out pretty much as I suspected, although my boomers are lagging somewhat in home runs and RBI.

.271 batting average (4th place)
18 HR (tied 6th)
70 RBI (8th)
11 SB (tied 4th)
2.42 ERA (1st)
1.10 WHIP (1st)
9 wins (tied 2nd)
5 saves (5th)

I wish Joe Torre would let Matt Kemp play.

There is another sports pool I'm in, Jim Henshaw's Infamous Writers Pool. Each participant chooses ten skaters and two goalies for the playoffs. You get one pint for each point your skaters accumulate. You get one point for each goalie win and seven points for a shut-out.

I'm tied in second place with four others, two points behind the leader. My team:


I took a risk and opted for some high-scoring power-play defencemen instead of the traditional forwards. I debated taking a Kostitsyn or two and Higgins instead of Markov and Streit, and maybe I should have. Or maybe I should have chosen Kostopoulos.

I'm shocked at how many writers through choice of goalies seem to have opted for the Habs and Sharks to meet in the finals. I think only one person chose Detroit's Hasek as their goalie.

JOUR 428

My 428 students this year did some decent work. The projects are hardly perfect, in terms of organization, design, and editing, but as you evaluate their work, consider that 13 of the 16 students had virtually no HTML skills to speak when the class started. I'm impressed.

• Over Beers


• Do It in Montreal


• Fallacy of the Week (grad students)

What bothers me most are typos and grammar mistakes. There has to be a fundamental flaw in our department that I can blame for the fact that our students just don't review their work. What I get in class, and what you can see in these Web sites, is the first draft. Somewhere along the line, we have to hammer it into their heads: read and edit your work before turning it in.

The semester is over, save a bit of grading I need to do this week. I've learned that the new full-time faculty member will be taking two of the courses I have been teaching, leaving me with the two computer-assisted reporting classes, one undergrad in the fall and one grad course over the summer. I won't be teaching Intro to Computer Applications (JOUR 202) or Online Magazine (JOUR 428/528) for which the students built these sites.

I'm part-time faculty which, as I explained two years ago, means I get screwed over in course selection. The part-time faculty has been screwed over by the school in other ways. CUPFA, our union, has been without a collective bargaining agreement for six years. We get about $5,500 per course, which is a good $1,000+ less than other part-time faculty members get at other Montreal universities and that amount less than full-time faculty get if they teach an extra course.

Our union has won an arbitration suit in a labour-relations court - or something like that. I don't pay attention to the details. I do know the university wants the part-timers to shut up and go away because any new agreement will be retroactive and expensive. If we get $1,000 per course dating back six years, I could be looking at a $15,000 or so payday.

We had two weeks of rotating strikes, none of which hit our department, so I was able to teach the semester to the end. Next fall, it looks like we'll have a full strike if the issue fails to get resolved.

Sometimes, I really wish I were qualified to get a real job.

Partee

I taught my last class of the semester yesterday and to celebrate I attended a Montreal Film Group bash. Usually I'll run into a few people I know, but I was starting to worry about that when Cynthia walked in. Cynthia came off the bench for me in Alex's writing room when I had my Wednesday afternoon course to teach despite having more TV writing experience than I do. We hung out and she introduced me to a few other people.

Carl is one of the people she introduced me to and we hit it off. I babbled on about 101 Squadron and what an awesome project that would be, and he agreed and pushed me to take my passion to Dreamworks - but he couldn't provide the phone number. Well into our conversation, I recognized him - well, not him, but his facial features. He's the younger brother of former CNN reporter Jonathan Freed, who I went to camp with.

Tomorrow night I have another party, the Journalism Department's end of year bash. I'm thinking of wearing the kiwi-green shirt I quested for and serendipitously found. What do you think, Naila?

Bonus mission accomplished:

I would like to post a big thank you to a former Netsurfer Digest subscriber who sent me the "(Keep Feeling) Fascination (Extended)" MP3, but since he's not Canadian, I'll leave him anonymous so that the tunetroopers don't collect him for processing. Passion burning, indeed.

Introverts and communication tech

I'm not a big Skype user, and my IM client (Proteus, by the way) is up only when I need to reach somebody instantly. My e-mail is up constantly, and my e-mail client (Eudora, still) checks for mail every five minutes.

When I work, or when I used to study, I never have music playing in the background. It's just too distracting. I know many people do listen to music as they work or read, but I've never understood how or why they can do that.

Furthermore, when I work, I don't like to be interrupted in the middle of a task unit. That doesn't mean that if I'm writing an article or a report that I have to finish the whole thing, but I do need to complete my thought or paragraph before I get up from my chair (speaking of my chair, see below). It's why I'm usually a few minutes delayed when called for supper or for something else. I have to complete that quantum.

All these characteristics are related, if Joe Kissell is correct. He's written an article misleadingly titled "Instant Messaging for Introverts" for TidBITS. What he's written is more of a primer on how introverts, with himself as the holotype, interact with technology and why. It's fascinating, perhaps because I see myself in just about everything he explains. Give it a read.

Oh, yes, my chair. My old one collapsed on me and I had to buy a new one. It's no tragedy - I use pretty much the cheapest chair you can buy, the $8.97 model at Reno Depot. No Aeron for me - I find the cheap folding chair perfectly comfortable. I have my chair on a plywood floor that's raised a few inches on lumber. I built that (OK, Elvi did, but I designed it) so my arms could rest comfortably on my pine desk for typing. The problem with my set-up is that the plastic feet on the first chair I had came off and started to gouge divots in the plywood.

When I bought the replacement chair yesterday, I had the brilliant idea of adding extra feet with felt anti-scuff pads. The model chair I buy, however, only has feet in front. At the rear, the two legs are a single piece of metal bent into a squared U and the horizontal bar rests on the ground. I can't put feet on it, so right now this chair is tilted ever so slightly up at the front. It adds a lot of strain to my back when I move forward to type.

I'm going to remove the additional feet for now while I figure out what to do. I think duct tape might be the solution. I'll jerry-build some duct-tape "feet" by wrapping the tape at two places on the back bar. That could work, although it will detract from the natural beauty of the painted aluminum and vinyl.

Bonus frustration of the week:

First, let me remind you that it's legal to download shared music in Canada. Now, on to the meat.... My copy of Human League's original "Keep Feeling (Fascination)" starts with the quavering chords of a cheesy organ before it gets into the bass line. The problem is that my copy cuts out abruptly without the fadeout.

I've been looking for a better copy without having to dig out my vinyl, but the only files I can find online are a different version with synthetic tones at the start instead of the organ. It's soulless. And I'm obsessed with finding a replacement.

Ladies and gentlemen, your Irrational League Angels

We held our Irrational League draft yesterday, in record time, I think.

(Interjection as I watch the Braves/Mets game: Wow, what a double-play by Mark Kotsay!)

It was an odd draft. At one point, the bottom dropped out of the talent pool. I never would have thought that Jack Wilson would be anything more than a reserve or last resort, but he's an asset for me as a utility player.

Third base in particular is weak. I drafted Ty Wigginton with the intention of making him my second baseman, but instead I had to make him a sub-par option for the third-base slot. The outfield is also thin. I had to put my first baseman out there and go with Scott Hatteberg, who's decent but only a part-timer (although I know how Dusty Baker avoids playing rookies and that gives me hope that Hatteberg will get playing time over Joey Votto).

Here's what I wound up with and my broad estimates for what they'll do this year. My four keepers were Young, Smoltz, Berkman, and Beltran.

C: Bengie Molina (SF): .290, 20 HR, 80 RBI
C: Miguel Montero (Ari): .275, 10 HR, 35 RBI
1B: Scott Hatteberg (Cin): .290, 5 HR, 50 RBI
2B: Ron Belliard (Was): .280, 15 HR, 65 RBI
3B: Ty Wigginton (Hou): .270, 25 HR, 80 RBI
SS: Miguel Tejada (Hou): .305, 20 HR, 85 RBI
CI: Jorge Cantu (Fla): .260, 15 HR, 60 RBI
MI: Rafael Furcal (LA): .285, 10 HR, 60 RBI, 30 SB
OF: Carlos Beltran (NY): .275, 30 HR, 95 RBI, 20 SB
OF: Lance Berkman (Hou): .295, 30 HR, 100 RBI, 5 SB
OF: Matt Kemp (LA): .290, 20 HR, 75 RBI, 25 SB
OF: Mike Cameron (Mil): .260, 20 HR, 60 RBI, 15 SB
OF: Wily Mo Pena (Was): .270, 20 HR, 60 RBI
U: JJ Hardy (Mil): .275, 25 HR, 90 RBI
U: Jack Wilson (Pit): .280, 10 HR, 65 RBI

You'll note that I have a lot of players who will miss significant portions of April. Cameron is suspended for 25 games, Pena's hurt, so's Montero. But the injuries are short-term, although Wigginton and Wilson are hurt now, too - only Wilson is on the DL, though. I have Ryan Ludwick and Gabe Gross as fill-in bench players. I also have Andy LaRoche for when/if he comes back.

I have the team pegged for a .280 average and 265 HRs - probably good for third place. I expect to finish near first in RBIs. I'm below average in steals. I have four starting shortstops, which gives me some trade bait.

The strength of my team is the starting pitching.

SP: John Smoltz (Atl): 15 W, 3.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
SP: Chris Young (SD): 15 W, 3.20 ERA, 1.15 WHIP
SP: Derek Lowe (LA): 15 W, 3.90 ERA, 1.35 WHIP
SP: Greg Maddux (SD): 15 W, 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
P: Justin Germano (SD): 10 W, 4.05 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
P: Orlando Hernandez (NY): 10 W, 4.25 ERA, 1.35 WHIP
RP: Manny Corpas (Col): 30 Sv, 5 W, 3.95 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
RP: Jon Rauch (Was): 5 Sv, 5 W, 3.80 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
RP: Cla Meredith (SD): 5 W, 3.65 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
RP: Jon Lieber (Chi): 10 W, 4.75 ERA, 1.35 ERA

And I have Pedro Martinez on the bench. You'll observe that I expect Lieber to start before the season ends.

This staff will be near the top in wins (about 95), ERA (3.80), and WHIP (1.25). With one Proven Closer, I won't be last in saves. One team has no closer, four (with me) have one, and five have two. Rauch is a wildcard and might become a full-time closer if Chad Cordero is traded or hurt worse than thought. I can dream, can't I?

Figure 32 points in pitching (two second-place categories, one win, and one seventh) and 29 in hitting (two third places, a win, and an eighth in steals). That's enough to win. I know that these Angels don't look impressive but no roster looks great. I have players to trade, especially once Pedro returns to action.

Bonus funny spam:

If you're unfamiliar with the "Step n: Profit!" meme, this won't be funny, but I laughed. The spam hoped I would install an attached trojan, but the message body was this:

1. Think about your girlfriend
2. Look attached details
3. Visit our online store
4. Buy out goods
5. Profit? You ARE the BEST in BED!

He he.

Heh ha haha ha

It's snowing again. A lot.

A Canadian no-call list

By the end of September, Canada will implement a do-not-call list by which most telemarketers must abide. A variety of organizations may legally ignore the list: registered charities; newspapers; survey companies; and, of course, political parties and campaigns. No, the politicians will not allow us to forbid them from asking for money. As well, any company that a Canadian has contacted may take advantage of a six-month window of opportunity to call back. That's twice as long as American companies get under identical circumstances.

The CRTC will run the program and has some information on how to register your phone numbers. There's an easier way, however.

Michael Geist, law professor and Canadian consumer-rights crusader, has opened iOptOut, which allows you to apply for the Canadian do-not-call list as broadly as possible or as targeted as you like. Want only Rogers, Columbia House, and Air Canada to reach you? Click a few buttons and it's done. It's an amazing service.

Bonus joke:

A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk, connect, and leave together for his place.

He shows her around his apartment. Three shelves line one wall of his bedroom, stacked with dozens of soft, cuddly teddy bears. It's obvious to the woman that the man has spent time lovingly arranging them. She's touched by the thought he's put into the display. The smaller bears sit along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears occupy the middle one, and several enormous bears run along the top shelf with their cute ears just grazing the ceiling.

The woman finds it strange that such an obviously masculine guy has such a large collection of teddy bears, and she's silently impressed by his unexpected sensitive side.

The couple shares a bottle of wine and they chat. He's smart, too. She finds herself thinking that maybe this could be the guy! He could be the one! The future father of her children!

She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly. They continue to kiss. The passion builds. He lifts her in his arms romantically and carries her into his bedroom. They rip off each other's clothes and make passionate love. The woman responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known. She's overwhelmed.

After the intense, fantastic session with this sensitive guy, the woman lies in bed arm in arm with this amazing guy. She rolls over, gently strokes his chest, and coyly asks, "Well, how was it?"

The guy gently smiles, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says, "Not bad. Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf."
