Heartlight (song)
- This article is about the Neil Diamond song. For the Kenny Loggins track, see Welcome to Heartlight.
"Heartlight" | |
Single by Neil Diamond | |
from the album Heartlight | |
Released | 1982 |
Genre | Pop |
Length | 4:25 |
Label | Columbia |
Writer(s) | Neil Diamond, Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach |
"Heartlight" is a song written by Neil Diamond, Carole Bayer Sager and her then-husband Burt Bacharach,[1] and recorded by Diamond in 1982. The song is the first track on Diamond's 1982 album, also titled Heartlight, and reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his eighth (and last) top 5 hit on the chart. The song also spent four weeks atop the adult contemporary chart in late 1982, and was the last of his eight #1s on that chart.[2]
The song is inspired by the blockbuster movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,[2] which Diamond, Bayer Sager and Bacharach had all seen together.[3][4] When the alien E.T. leaves Earth, his heart glows a luminous red, hence the title of the song.
The songwriters were required to pay Universal Studios $25,000 for the use of ideas from the film.[4]

We are having our cabinets custom made. They will be a White Shaker Style but will have a bead like trim on the inside edge. I still need to select the white but it will be a creamy white (maybe Mascarpone or Pot of Cream by Behr). Countertops will be satin/leathered Marron Cohiba granite. I still have to pick my slabs but ever since seeing those last year, I haven't found anything else that I love so much. I chose the Kohler Whitehaven sink in white. I am 95% sure I will be getting the Elkay Explore bridge faucet in chrome (like springroz's). I am planning on a white subway backsplash but would like a decorative frame above the range (NXR 36"). I will have an island that has the trash pull-out, middle drawer bank and spice pull out. This section will have the Marron Cohiba. Then on the back of the island we are attatching a table that will have a mahogany butcher block top and legs matching the island. My flooring is a warm slightly reddish toned brown wood floors. My kitchen opens up into my family room. In my family room I have the Brandon Rug from Pottery Barn, love it!
So, as you can see I have certain details taken care of but I am trying to form a picture in my head. I also am trying to figure out other details like lighting, hardware (I like RH's Aubrey and Bistro not sure about polished or brushed)etc.
Here is a link to my kitchen as it is now, I also included photos of my dining room color. The large entertainment center is being removed. I think it will take you to the whole album. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen Photos
Follow-Up Postings:
I only see one photo and I think it is the dining room. |
I was hoping it would have taken you to the full album. I will go ahead and post the pictures here for you. This again is how my kitchen looks now, thanks so much! |
I put this together with the items you mentioned. These cabs are Kraft Maid in dove white (custom colors are hard). I used Weimeraner for the walls. I think the backsplash tile I used is too gray for the Marron Cohiba, but I found it ridiculously hard to find usable pics of subway backsplash tiles (I know, how can that be?). Oh, and I didn't see that you had mentioned a hood, so I gave you a stainless chimney hood. I'm not sure how reddish your wood floors are, but I kept ending up with images that had very little contrast between the mahogany butcher block and the wood floor. I hope this helps with your visualization. |
I used an online program called Olioboard to make the picture. It's pretty easy to use if you are computer savvy; the hard/time consuming part is finding pictures of stuff that you can snip and put in your design board. I didn't find the library of stuff on the site very helpful. I redid the board using the floor from your pic, replacing the chimney hood with an undercabinet hood, and I tracked down a warmer subway tile. The tile is more beige than white, but pairs well with the Weimeraner. My opinion: I think with the changes and corrections it works well together, except for the mahogany table. The reddish undertones don't seem to be a good match for either the Marron Cohiba or the Weimeraner. I think a walnut would be a better match, or maybe something like a reclaimed wood that is a bit bleached out, like the color of driftwood. I love the Weimeraner. I am planning to paint my Bedroom BM Fairview Taupe, which isn't that far off from Weimeraner (so I may be biased). I'm planning to use BM Beach Glass (pretty close to your SW Comfort Gray) for the ceiling. |

UPDATE: Old City Hall
By KWGS News
Tulsa, Ok – The "sale pending" sign is going up in front of the old Tulsa City Hall. The Tulsa Development Authority today decided it will negotiate with Brickhuggers for the sale of the 11-story building. Brickhuggers offered one-million dollars -- as is-- for the building last March
Tulsa Economic Development Director Mike Bunney says an upscale, 200-room, hotel is planned. Brickhuggers is the same firm that renovated the long closed Mayo Hotel.
Bunney hopes to complete negotiations and present a contract to the city council before Labor Day.

Would you have an enlarged prostate or a condition known as BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy)? According to some research that has been done, saw palmetto can help should you take the infusions from it. It may likewise help with even prostate cancer and certain infections when it is used in combination with other herbs and luckily saw palmetto extract can be bought by you and it will not really cost you a small fortune.
Saw palmetto is merely created a fruit that is very full of fatty acids and phytosterols in the Serenoa repens,. In all forms of choice, diverse, as well as traditional medicines, has been utilized for over it years to treat a great number of health conditions. It's most frequently found to treat the symptoms related to enlarged prostates, however, in the past, American Indians believed the fruit could help with urinary and reproductive troubles and Seminoles liked to utilize the berries as an antiseptic and expectorant. Mayans drink it like a tonic.
Some think that it's great to use even to help a person see their ability to relax as well as an improvement within their libido. That is great news considering in the event that you want to buy saw palmetto extract, it is available nowadays as an over the counter medication and it isn't important whether you're a long time user of a first time user that is experimental or this extract.
Whatever you must do is require just a few drops of the dietary supplement, if you are using the liquid form, in a glass of plain water. Should you take the soft gel tablets you will have to take one tablet twice daily with your meals. This can be a simple routine for most of us who are afflicted with prostate problems which is very common among men over age 60. The benefits might be well worth the attempt of taking it along with your meals if it works for you or the man you love who may be suffering due to an enlarged prostate.
Another thing that is great is that saw palmetto extract has virtually no danger of side effects related to taking it. This permits people to try it out without fear or worry. You haven't lost anything except the few dollars you will spend on it, even when it does not help your specific problems. The most usual ailments associated with those who got favorable consequences and have taken it is that it may cause upset stomach that ought to be better before taking it should you eat. You might also want to prevent taking it while you are pregnant you also should consult your doctor if you currently have a high cholesterol level and because it could impact hormone levels before buying saw palmetto extract.
As with all medicines and nutritional supplements, you should consult with your physician in case you have any concerns about whether you need to take it or not. It's also wise to consult your physician should you take birth control pills that contain estrogen because of the extra hormones that you would take when saw palmetto extracts are bought by you. The effects of your birth control procedure could decrease and you might need to utilize other kinds while taking saw palmetto extracts.
The reply is simple, in case you are wondering where you can purchase saw palmetto extract. You can buy it through any health-food store or website along with many pharmacies which have supplements to assist you to live healthier and longer with the support of natural drugs. It's often advocated by the FDA to aid with symptoms and may even cause fewer unwanted side effects than Proscar which is employed to deal with bladder problems.
Saw palmetto extract can be bought by you when you decide that it is time to prevent enduring along with your bladder dilemmas and grow tired of having an enlarged prostate. You've nothing to reduce but the uncomfortableness of not being able to "go" when you feel the urge. If this astonishing extract is simply able to help you a tiny bit, at least that is a little bit of someone that you care for or help for you.

Just start kissing. That'll gross the girls out so much they'll beg to go to bed early!
This is so my life
I'm a 60 year old Dad with a 10 year old son.
aw thats cute – whole family together – looks snug!
"WE aren't watching anything. YOU are going to bed!" :)
We're ALL going to watch "South Pacific," then "The King and I," both in black and white of course, followed by Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire!!!
That oughta get rid of the little… um, darlings. -
Pay the $50 bucks each and send them to bed… and everyone wins!!
Yep – That would do it!
I can understand. I, myself, am 56 years old with a 12 year old daughter who has a sleep disorder that makes it hard for her to go to sleep. Even with the medication prescribed for her to use, she sometimes cannot sleep and will stay awake for 48 hours with no sign of being exhausted.
Talk about being a bucket of cold water on romance! -

@Zero-Gabriel – That's a terrible way to handle it! I don't even know where to start with explaining why… (eye-roll) -
Phil sounds kind of handy. He may have to install a new lock on the kids room, locked from the outside.
You are so CHEAP! -
So you want to watch the Rex Harrison version.
South Pacific and The King and I are color movies, so it may be difficult to find them in b&w. Either way, I would have wanted to stay and watch either of those or Fred and Ginger both at Alix' and at Holly's age. (And so would my older sisters.)

Softball: Sandburg gets jump on Naperville Central for 12th trip to state finals
By Gary Larsen For Sun-Times Media June 9, 2014 11:08PM
Sandburg players celebrate their 4-2 win over Naperville Central on Monday. | Gary Larsen/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 11, 2014 6:31AM
Sandburg hails from Orland Park, a south suburb in the heart of White Sox country, but Sandburg pitcher Sarah Herold used a North Side analogy Monday.
"Even the Cubs won a hundred years ago in the playoffs, when no one was probably expecting it," Herold said. "I consider us an underdog, too, and we're going to state."
With Herold striking out eight at the Class 4A North Central College Supersectional, a Sandburg team with 15 losses won 4-2 over a Naperville Central edition that entered the season with the Sun-Times' top ranking.
Unlike the Cubs, Sandburg (23-15) hasn't gone a hundred years without a title. The Eagles won a Class 4A championship in 2010.
"The key was the belief," Sandburg coach Jim Fabianski said. "In nine years, we've been to five supersectionals and we've won two of them. We were snakebit last year, but our six seniors had a preseason meeting, and all they wanted was to come back and get another shot before they left."
Monday's pivotal inning may have been the first. After Naperville Central (27-8) went down in order, Eagles leadoff hitter Brianna Soltis was hit by a pitch. Katherine Krzus singled and Maddie Hanley walked before a sacrifice fly from Karli McLaughlin scored Soltis from third.
That's when Kristen Zarate grabbed the spotlight. With two outs, the left-handed junior laced a double into the left-center gap that scored two more runs.
"You don't want to start a game out that way, and the key hit was the two-out double," Naperville Central coach Andy Nussbaum said. "If we could have held them to one (run) in that inning, we're in OK shape. But you pitch differently and hit differently when you're down three runs in a winner-take-all game. There's more pressure on you."
Herold cruised through four innings, holding a formidable Central offense to two hits. The Redhawks scored both of their runs in the fifth on a two-run single by Kaitlyn Skarecky, but Herold largely stymied the Redhawks.
"Definitely my screwball and my riseball were working," Herold said. "I got some girls fishing for my riseball, which was nice."
The Eagles got their fourth run in the fourth inning on a single from Soltis that scored Cierra Adamus. Central center fielder Maddi Doane threw out a runner in the fifth.
Sandburg's Emily Griskell relieved Herold in the sixth. Doane and Lindsey Gonzalez were aboard with no outs when Griskell made a great stop on a ball hit hard by Skarecky, then threw to third for a force.
The next batter hit a line drive to Adamus, who doubled a runner off second to end the game and send Sandburg to the state finals for the 12th time in program history.
"It's my senior year and I get to go downstate," Herold said. "It's an awesome feeling."

Can I get some advice for jungling with Volibear? Usually i start with Rejuv beads and HP, or sometimes just a ruby crystal to get Warmog's as quickly as possible, but should i be going for a Wriggles instead? I'm level 17 so no tier 3s yet, saving up for when i hit 20 though.
Senior Member
Wriggles would help with your clear times. I would also suggest getting some sort of attack speed to help proc your bite faster. with you current starting items do you have problems jungling? if so i would suggest starting cloth + 5 hp pot. Do you have a more specific question about jungle volibear like what your path should be or how to gank with him? Warmogs is strong right now but they are changing it this patch so might not be a good item to rush. would have to wait and see the changes.
True Skillz, got a question for you. How on earth does one handle Mundo's negative sustain early game? I am level 30, I run Movespeed Quints, Attack Speed Marks, Armor Seals, and Mr/lvl Glyphs, 0/21/9 masteries (improved flash, improved recall, movespeed, summoner cd, and buff duration in utility) but I have also tried 9/21/0. I want to jungle so bad, but I get demoralized cause the jungler I want to main (Mundo) kicks my butt early game. Even starting Machete +5 pots my health is too low when I get to level 4 to gank. I would try a level 2 gank, but to be honest I am just getting into jungling (aside from watching and theorycrafting for several months) so I am not sure how comfortable I am with that risk. My route is Wraiths, Red, Wolves, Wraiths, Blue, Wolves. I start W, get E at level 2, E again at 3 (I hear W costs too much health for the first clear), Q at level 4, then my skill order is RWEQ. By the time I am done with my lvl 4 clear, I have maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of my health left and have to shop/heal. What do?
Haha, thanks True! Didn't mean to imply anything with my cheeky comment, just needed a little clarity, you have helped a lot of people in this thread (I read every page before posting to check) and I'm sure we all appreciate what you are doing!
np sometime i dont pay attention before posting lol. but i dont have a problem admitting that i messed up or that im wrong.

AD/lvl marks shouldn't be overlooked either after you have both penetration sets. Certain champs that scale really well with AD (RIP old Kat), or where you can expect to see early pen built anyways, or kits with inherent penetration, these runes are actually more cost-effective per stat per rune slot. Others and I run them on AD Malz mostly, but I could see other champs use them effectively like Sivir, Darius, Talon, Wukong, etc. Hybrid pen marks are good depending on the champ since you don't take a big loss in one pen and get both pens. They also has some value to Sheen/Lich Bane procs on APs as the damage is physical. Sona, Malphite, Akali, Jax are just a few options depending on your build. These runes are really expensive though. Other champs scale better with AS marks like Vayne and Kayle.

Faustus is dining in the home of the Duke and Duchess of Vanholt and the Duke is very taken with Faustus. However, Faustus is also anxious to please the pregnant Duchess, so he asks her if there is anything he can do for her. The Duchess admits that she has a craving for grapes and, hearing her request, Faustus sends Mephastophilis out to fetch a plate of the best grapes that the Duchess has ever tasted.
The Duke and Duchess are utterly amazed, as it is the middle of winter and there are no grapes to be had anywhere. However, Faustus explains to them that there are many places in the world where it is summer, so he simply sent a spirit to go fetch them. This final trick leaves another nobleman thoroughly awestruck and the Duke promises to reward Faustus well.

Oh... your day ^^ yay!!! Can I say happy birthday today? ^^ because I think I won't be on saturday...
And I agree with Kuwi... Why you say sorry? You haven't done anything to me so you don't have to ask for my forgiveness ^^
But it's a very nice poem-to-say-sorry ^^ I enjoyed reading it...
My recommended fanfic: "Dreamer" by Scourge

Yeah, Bye.
love these poems where you can feel intense passion and anger as you read it
flows well and i agree with those two that you should never be sorry for everything. Even when you hurt people, it's still an experience to build on, for both parties.
happy birthday
i (admit) () you (were) right ,its not worth what (you're) not gonna be!
I love that you are a very good all-around poet, not just writing about love or anger or silliness.
Your very good at different styles, especially mixing them together!
Great job!
Thanks to _gwenibe_ for this awesome sig!

2007 C7 ENGINEERING PROGRAM The current Corvette engineering team spent most of 2007 designing a mid-engined replacement for their aging C6 sports car. Prompted by an expected change in endurance racing rules aimed at reduced speeds at LeMans, someone was bold enough to suggest merging C7 and C7R efforts to use V-8 engines located where god and Enzo Ferrari intended them to live.
It's safe to assume that this C7 would have been smaller, lighter, and far more fuel efficient than today's Corvette to help meet more stringent CAFÉ requirements. Exactly how that would be achieved without a steep rise in list price is unknown. GM's stillborn diesel V-8 was even mentioned as one of the engine candidates.
Unfortunately, the most recent attempt to build a mid-engined Corvette ceased before the clock struck 2008. The exact reasons why were never revealed. The insurmountable hurdle could have been the cost associated with one or more transaxles unique to this relatively-low-volume car line.
So, like every Corvette from the dawn of time, the C7 edition will undeniably honor the classic front-engined tradition. But hope springs eternal. At least one rumor monger suggests that GM is seriously considering an expansion of the Corvette family to include a few $100,000+ versions with the engine snuggled in close proximity to the rear wheels. If the planets finally do align, the mid-engined C8 Corvette would arrive late in the current decade.

Hi! I am really hoping somebody can help me. I went to a local nursery this past weekend and was given this small leaf as a freebie. The leaf was from a GORGEOUS almost 5' tall bush/vine with very pretty pink flowers (about 1" in size). I cannot for the life of me remember what the seller said the name was! The freebie I was given is growing quickly, and I'm hoping someone can recognize it by the strange way the new leaf is growing (appears kind of wavy). |

Twin Japanese Nieces Pt21
For once you guys are going to get a chapter that starts at the top of the page. I am going to address a few questions that have come up over the last several months, posed by my readers. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get to them, but events in my life have changed the dynamics around the house. I think you guys can understand.
I have been asked what Kaykos' education was. Kayko had a bachelor's degree in business management from Keio University of Tokyo. After we were married she never pursued her career because our daughter was born only 9 months later. I have also been asked why Saki was chosen to stay in our bed and not Erin. At the time, Kayko and I had discussed it though it is not mentioned in the story. It was a collective opinion that Saki would be our new bedmate. Besides, Kayko told me that she had confided in her that she wanted to be my play thing. With that in mind, Kayko 'suggested' that Saki would be the one. Now that Kayko, Mark, and Shiori are gone, both Erin and Saki share my bed. But that is a different story that I might tell at a later time. Not everything that happens in the house is in the stories. I have tried to keep the story to the most important events, but sometimes I continue with a particular set of events just to maintain the continuity. So I hope I am not boring you guys. Continue to ask your questions, I will do my best to answer them. Oh yea, one more question for one of my readers who has not been able to piece the time line together. This story, Twin Japanese Nieces, is what took place last year, 2012.
The 4th of July.
Usually I get the 4th of July off from work every year, so I am able to spend some time with my family. (You see, my boss is not completely heartless) So sleeping in is a real rarity for me, but it is something that I always manage to do on the 4th. Today, however, was going to be different. My day was already planned out for me and I did not even know it.
I was awakened by the unmistakable sensation of being ridden someone. As nice as it is, I was a little disappointed that I was not allowed to sleep in. But when I opened my eyes and saw my little pet bouncing up and down on my dick, I could not help but smile at her. She had a smile on her face that gave me the impression that she was very proud of herself, and rightfully she should be. Saki has been working very hard with Kayko; strengthening her muscles and developing her control so she could please me in the same fashion as my wife. Now, as I looked up at the happy young girl who was wearing only a T-shirt, I was not mad at all.
"Good morning Uncle Mike," she said as she slid up and down my shaft.
"Good morning sweetie," I said sleepily, still trying to get fully awake. "And just what are you doing this morning?"
Saki put all of her weight on my groin and sat up straight, taking my full length inside her. "Aunt Kayko told me to wake you up. Did I do it right?"
I reached up and grasp her by her hips, holding her in place as I sat up. "Oh yes sweetie, you did very good."
Saki smiled at me really big before she leaned forward and threw her arms around me. "I love you so much Uncle Mike. You feel so good inside me."
"So you like that do you?" I asked playfully while I scooted both of us to the edge of the bed.
"Oh yes!" she exclaimed as she wrapped her legs around my waist and locked her ankles behind my back. "I feel so full. I want to stay like this all the time!" Saki began squeezing me with her pussy as I spun to the side and put my feet on the floor. She was getting very good at gripping me. Like I said, Kayko had been doing an excellent job of teaching her.
I stood up and walked across the room to my closet, wearing my pet like she was my robe. Saki just hung on to my neck for the ride, not really caring what I was doing, only enjoying the fact that she had me inside her. "So why did your aunt have you wake me up?" I asked as I picked out a nice golf shirt and a pair of shorts.
Saki brushed the shorts away and said, "No, not those. Wear your nice khaki pants with that shirt."
Wow! Not only was she a pet, but she was becoming my fashion coordinator as well! "Ok," I said as I rehung the shorts and pulled out a nice pair of Dockers. "How about these?"
Saki looked over her shoulder and gave a nod of approval. "That's nice." she said before she looked up into my eyes again. "Aunt Kayko says you are supposed to go to the store for something. She will tell you what it is when you get down stairs."
With that said Saki released her legs and pulled herself off my dick, allowing it to spring free from the confines of her tight body when she dropped to the floor. "Aren't you going to join me back on the bed?" I asked as a bit of bewilderment raced through my head.
"I would love to Uncle Mike," Saki said while reaching between her legs to cup her pussy. "But aunt Kayko told me to be back in 5 minutes. We have a lot of things to do." And without another word she turned and left the room.
I think I broke my toes when my jaw dropped. I have never known any of the girls to turn down a single second of sack time with me. Don't get me wrong, I am no badass when it comes to sack time. It's just that the girls don't get to see me too often. So when I am home, it's almost like a non-stop fuck fest. And don't think I am complaining. If you guys had the beautiful women in your home that I have, you would virtually fuck yourselves to death too! But this situation did leave me rather curious.
After a quick shower I dressed and headed down stairs. I had expected to find the kitchen in full swing and everyone dancing around each other while trying to perform various tasks. But to my surprise all of the kids were sitting on the couch and Kayko was sitting on the coffee table directly in front of them. She seemed to be giving them instructions as I walked down the stairs. When she saw me she stopped in mid-sentence and stood up.
"Mike," she said as she glanced once at the kids before looking directly at me. "David called from the office this morning and he needs you to pick up a package at the post office right away."
David is my boss. Usually I don't quibble with him because he has kept me in work for the last 20 years without a single issue, but for a request like this, on the 4th of July? What was he thinking? "I'll go and get it tomorrow." I replied. I absolutely did not feel like driving the hour and a half into the city to pick up something in the post office box when it could easily wait till tomorrow.
"He said it was very urgent," Kayko added with a bit of a worried look on her face. "He says it has to be picked up today."
Fuck a damn duck. I know David quite well, and he usually does not make requests like this without good reason. I took in a deep breath and shrugged my shoulders. "All right," I said, trying to hide the fact that I was more than just a little pissed off. "Saki said you need me to go to the store as well?"
"Yes," Kayko replied while leaving the living room and heading for the kitchen counter. "I need you to pick up these few things on the way back." and she handed me a short list.
Milk, eggs, some tortilla chips and some dip. At the bottom was the information about the package. There was nothing major on the list, only a few of the staples and some junk food. I guess the kids wanted some tortillas to go along with the food I planned on grilling. "Anything else?" I asked while smiling at my wife.
"Just you." she said as she stepped up to me and planted a nice open mouthed kiss on my lips while grabbing my ass. "Hurry back."
I have never been mad at Kayko. Not even when she drove over my golf clubs with the car. Granted, I was not exactly thrilled, but it was not something to get mad about. Besides, it was only a material thing. The emotional wellbeing of my wife and the kids is far more important than a set of golf clubs. In any case it really didn't matter; I couldn't hit them anyway so it actually worked out in my favor. But this grocery list and the trip into the city seemed like trivial matters. As I cranked up my car I wondered just what was up. The kids had set almost motionless in the living room while Kayko and I had talked. That was more of a rarity than anything. Someone almost always had something going. And for my pet to not see me off at the door? Something was afoot. And now they would have a little more than three hours to do whatever it was they had in mind. I headed off down the road stewing about the mornings events. I guess I would just play along with their little scheme. After all, it was the only way for me to find out what was in store for me.
An hour and 15 minutes later I walked into the post office. I had made it there in record time due to almost no traffic on the roads. Why couldn't a standard work day be like this? I opened the P.O. Box and looked in. There was a large, flat box in the bottom with a letter attached to the side. The information on the address label matched what Kayko had given me so I scooped it up and headed back to the car. It didn't feel like much, maybe a thick hard back book or a document bundle. Maybe it was a new client profile. But when I considered that I was supposed to be on a holiday, spending time with my family, and not running errands for the office, I bailed on trying to figure out what it was. In the car I tossed it into the back seat. I really do hope it was important.
The store took all of five minutes. I think you guys know what I am talking about when I say that I did not go shopping, I went buying. You can grab a gallon of milk and put it in your cart at a regular walking pace without having to slow down. Tortillas are tortillas, and the dip is usually right with them. You can get those a regular walking pace too. The only thing you have to be cool about is the eggs. Aside from opening the carton to make sure they are not broken, you can't just sling them around. So that was the only slow portion of the trip. I was in and out of the grocery store in 8 minutes. That is how it is done. Now I was on my way home to spend some much deserved down time with my wife and kids. Next time this happens I think I'll drag someone along with me just to be a pain in the ass.
Once I turned down my street, and the house came into view, that is when I understood the mornings' events. There were several vans parked in my driveway and cars parked nose to tail down both of the shoulders for the length of my property. Kayko was throwing a party at our house. As I pulled in to my driveway the printing on the sides of the vans read Catering Service. I guess I was not going to have to cook after all. Mark was standing out in the driveway near the house until he saw me coming. Once he laid eyes on me he bolted for the door. 'Oops,' I thought, I just spooked the century from his post. By the time I was stopped and getting out of the car, he was back. He was dressed nice too, wearing his dress shoes, some good pants and a golf shirt.
"Hi dad," he said as I approached him. "You're back awfully quick."
"Yea," I said with a raised eyebrow as I looked around at all of the cars and the catering vans. "So who are all of these people?"
"I don't know," he replied as he glanced around too. "I'm just supposed to tell them where to park and open the door for everyone."
Phase two of Kaykos' plan had worked on me just as well as phase one had; the trip into the city. Sometimes I feel a little foolish around my wife. It seems I am easily led into her plans. I don't know what it was about her, maybe it was due to the fact that I trusted her implicitly. Whatever the case was, I now had a house full of people and had walked neatly into her little ploy. I grabbed the package out of the back of my car and headed in the house. It was time unveil her whole plan.
Inside the house, as I was taking my shoes off in the foyer, I was met by Shiori. She was dressed in her traditional white kimono with a black sachet around her waist. She had her hair pulled back into one big ponytail and had on her house slippers. She looked great.
"Hi Uncle Mike," she sheepishly said with a small bow. "Your guests are waiting for you."
"My guests?" I queried as I looked over her head to see the living room full of people.
Shiori gestured with her hand before stepping to the side to allow me to pass. As I stepped out of the entrance hall it quickly became apparent that my whole office was there. All of the secretaries, the other salesmen, and the administrative staff were all mingling around. The kitchen was being set up by the caterers who had brought enough food for an army, and the bar was fully stocked with enough alcohol to pollute half a nation. If I had a look of confusion on my face it was well placed. What were all of them doing at my house? I greeted and shook hands with everyone as I worked my way across the room to where David was pouring himself a rather stout drink at the bar.
"David," I said as I approached him with the package.
My boss turned around and instantly smiled when he saw me. "Mike," he said as he set his drink down on the bar. "Glad to see you." He reached out and shook my hand as he continued. "I see you picked up the package."
Handing him the box I glanced around the room before addressing him directly. "It's good to see you too David, but what is going on here."
An even bigger smile came across his face accompanied with a little chuckle. "I see Kayko was able to keep you in the dark." He laughed at the apparent success of the ruse as he picked his drink back up. "I think we need to hire your wife as head of our security. She certainly did a good job on you."
I was not exactly amused. I still had absolutely no idea what this was all about, and more questions kept coming up than I was getting answers. "What is all of this about?" I asked, cutting directly to the chase.
"Why this is about you," he said. Then he turned to the room and cleared his throat. Speaking loudly he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please." In a matter of just a few seconds the room was quiet. "I want to thank you all for coming here today, even though it is a holiday. But I have some good news to tell all of you." Everyone in the room moved in a little closer, listening intently as my boss continued with his speech. "We have had a rather successful year so far, and a large portion of that success is due to Mike."
Applause broke out across the room as my colleges recognized my hard work. There were a few whistles and a few cheers before the applause dwindled before the room was silent again.
"Because of Mike and his efforts, we have managed to increase our sales by more than 14% for the first quarter, and are on track to increase that total by another 8% this last quarter. So in all, Mike here is responsible for more than $30,000,000.00 in revenues generated in the last 2 quarters alone."
The applause this time was even louder. It was at this moment that I spotted Kayko, Saki, and Erin. All three of them were standing at the far end of the kitchen counter dressed in kimonos like Shioris'. All three of them were smiling and clapping along with the rest of my office. As my boss talked about hard work and dedication to the 'cause', I gazed into Kaykos' eyes. I could see the pride in her face as she listened to the accomplishments of her husband. Saki and Erin sported similar looks as my boss rambled about the job I do. All I could think of, at that moment, was my Kayko and how much I loved her. I really didn't care too much about the rest of it; I just did my job for my wife and kids. They are the reason I do what I do.
"…and so," David said as he brought his hand down on my shoulder, bringing me back into the here and now, "I want to make a presentation to our number one sales and marketing shark." A chuckle emanated from the crowd as David again set his drink down and picked up the box I had brought from the post office. Once he had the box open he produced a nice wooden plaque that had a large brass engraved plate on it. Pulling his reading glasses from his shirt pocket he perched them on his nose before he began reading the inscription. "In recognition of outstanding performance and dedication to company goals, International Marketing and Business Solutions (I made that up so don't look for it) name Mike the Marketing and Sales executive of the year."
This time the applause was really loud. There were many whistles and whoops and hollers as David handed me the plaque and shook my hand. I have to admit that I felt a bit humbled. I didn't think that I really deserved this award; I was just doing my job. Granted the work I did was for my company, but my real motivation was standing across the room with tears in her eyes and looking on me with an expression of pride few ever get to experience. I glanced down at the plaque. It was nice looking. I guess it would look good on my wall in my office. I really was at a loss for words when David patted me on the shoulder again.
"Now let's hear from Mike," he said as the applause faded.
"Thank you all," I began after I swallowed hard. "I appreciate this honor and your gratitude. I find it hard to believe that I would receive such an honor seeing as how I spend less time in the office than anyone else." A small roll of laughter spread across the room. "And it's nice to know that I can do my work in the field while all of you catch the excess work I create back at the office." That joke was for me but another roll of laughter still broke out across the room. "But in all seriousness," I said as I glanced around the room. "I could not have done this without the help and support of all of you. You guys are really the ones who deserve this. But there is one person who does deserve more credit than me," I said as I turned my head to look at Kayko. She has been my support and the drive behind my efforts while I am out and about doing my job. She is the love of my life and the real reason that I do what I do. My wife, Kayko." And I gestured in her direction.
The whole room broke out in thunderous applause, including me. Kayko began crying and smiling at the same time, bringing a trembling hand up to her mouth as my office cheered for her. She did deserve all of the credit and so much more. I mouthed the words 'I love you' to her as the clapping continued. She gave me a little wave of her hand before she looked back over the room and bowed to them. (Damn it. I'm crying while I am typing this) I now knew the sense of pride that Kayko had displayed for me. The lump in my throat and my heart pounding in my ears only reinforced how much love and respect I had for her. As I gazed upon her, while she basked in the warm glow of admiration, I knew that she would never forget this day for the rest of her life.
When the applause finally faded Kayko spoke up. "Thank you all," she said with a bit of a quiver to her voice. "But my husband is too kind. Now, if you are all ready, lunch is served."
That was typical of Kayko, deflecting a compliment and getting back to the business at hand. She did it with the kids, and with me. I think it was part of the house hold administrator position she had in the house that made her do things like that. Whatever it was, she was effective and efficient in everything she did. As the guests began filing past her to the huge buffet that was set up on the dining table, many of them shook her hand and made comments. She deserved whatever praise they gave her. As for me, I was more than happy to have included her in this celebration.
"Mike," David said from behind me as he patted me on the back to get my attention. I turned to face him to find him reaching into his inside jacket pocket. "The board of directors has authorized me to give you this," he said as he pulled an envelope from inside his jacket. "It's just a little thank you from them. And I am to tell you that they want to make you a full partner."
As I took the envelope from his hand my jaw dropped at the news. "A full partner?" I stammered.
Leaning in next to my ear he continued. "Just think about it Mike." David said as he patted me on the back again. "You don't have to give an answer right away. Take the wife and kids on a little holiday and mull it over before you jump in to a decision. When you are ready, they will be too." He smiled at me and shook my hand again. "Now I am going to go and get some of that delicious smelling food." And with that he started toward the kitchen.
Holy shit on a rope! They are offering me full partnership in the company! This would be the giant leap forward in my career that I was always looking for. But it would definitely come at a price. I would have to give up traveling around the world for the confines of an office. No more of working on my own in my day to day tasks, I would have to become integrated with the team at the home office. I would get to spend every evening at home with Kayko and the kids; that would not be bad. But I would have to give up the job that I am not only good at, but a job that I truly love doing. This was going to be a gigantic decision. And it was definitely a decision I was not going to make by myself.
As I fumbled with the envelope Kayko appeared at my side. "Are you ok honey?" she asked as she looked up into my eyes.
Her beautiful face was welcome to me, and reassuring. "Yea, I just have a few things to think about." I replied as I smiled down at her.
Kayko looked at my hands as I pulled the first slip out of the envelope. WOW! It was a bonus check from the board of directors for a cool $250,000.00. I almost wet my pants! My usual yearly bonus was not even a third of that! I stood there staring at the check with my mouth hanging open in a state of disbelief.
"What is it honey?" Kayko asked as she tried to see what it was.
I slowly handed her the check. Her eyes got as big as dinner plates and her mouth dropped open as well when she saw the numbers on the check. She looked up into my face with the look of utter shock in her eyes.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed before her look of shock turned to one of complete joy and she threw her arms around my neck. "I am so proud of you!" she said into my ear as she began crying her eyes out again. "You have worked so hard, and given up so much!" She said in between sniffs and gasps for air. "I love you so much!"
In a flash she was covering my face, lips, neck, and ears with kisses of joy. I could feel her trembling in my arms as I held her close and basked in the love that was pouring out of her. Here she was, thanking and congratulating me when, all along, it was because of her. She was the reason I was so successful. I pulled her away from me a little so I could speak directly to her.
"You know, when I said that you were the reason behind my success, I meant it." I said while looking directly into her beautiful brown eyes.
Kayko smiled up at me as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Thanks Mike," she said as she sniffed a few more times. "But I didn't do anything."
"Yes you did sweetie," I said, taking on a more serious tone. "You have done more for me and my career than I could ever hope to give you the credit for." Kayko looked into my eyes and listened intently as I continued to speak to her in a quiet voice. "Look at the house; the kids; everything! You have made all of this possible, YOU!" I could tell she was dumbfounded and at a loss for words as she looked at me with a note of admiration about her face. "I can never ever repay you for what you have done for me. You gave up your life and career to make a poor chump like me successful. There is no way I can ever thank you enough."
Kayko straightened herself and took a small step back from me, causing me to release my grip on her. When she had composed herself she said very plainly, "I did it because I love you." And she extended her hand with the check.
"No," I said as I looked first at her hand, and then back into her eyes. "You keep it. You've earned it."
Kayko looked at me and then looked at the check. In a very slow and deliberate motion she slowly folded the check and placed it back into my hand. When she had done so she looked up at me and smiled. "I am you wife," she said, taking a posture of extreme pride and admiration. "I don't need a check. I have you." She then bowed to me and excused herself, turning around to scoot off into the crowd in the kitchen.
(I cannot express to you the love and admiration I had for my wife. I could probably write an entire novel based only on her actions and the high esteem she holds for me. She was that one true gem that you find only once in a life time; and she only made my life better because of her selflessness. I miss her so much!)
It was right then that my little pet and Erin showed up on the scene. "What did you get Uncle Mike?" Saki asked.
"Yea dad," chimed in Erin at almost the same time, "What did you get?"
"It's just a little bonus," I said as I tucked the check back into the envelope. It was then that I noticed that there was something else in the envelope. Pulling out the folded bunch of papers I opened it. On the top was a letter from the board of directors. It reiterated the job well done and an expression of gratitude for having made so much money for the company. Behind it was a packet of travel plans. They were sending all of us, including the twins to the Virgin Islands for 2 weeks with explicit directions for me to turn my phone off. I looked at the two girls standing in front of me. The look of anticipation they were sporting was priceless. "And," I said as I tucked the plans back into the envelope, "It looks like we are going to the Caribbean for a few weeks' vacation."
The high pitched shrill that came from the two girls made everyone in the house look at us. I am sure they got quite an eye full as the two jumped up and down in front of me like a pair of Mexican jumping beans. As I looked at the crowd I was greeted with smiles and nods of heads. Apparently everyone from the office knew about it except for me.
I calmed the two girls down by saying, "Why don't you guys go and tell Mark and Shiori?"
I don't think a magician could have made them disappear any faster. Poof; and they were gone. The exuberance of youth is really something. It had been quite a while since we have been able to spend any real time together. In fact, since the twins arrived here in the US, this would be the first time they got to spend more than three days with me. So I could really understand their excitement. I closed the envelope and headed to my office to put it away. I might have been the guest of honor, but it was still my home and I had host duties to perform.
Just as I got to my office I happened to glance into the den directly across the hall. Another surprise stared me in the face like a castaway looking at an approaching tidal wave. In the middle of the room was an absolutely beautiful full sized pool table that has a red velvet top and leather basket in the corners. The sides and undercarriage appeared to be made of oak, and on the back wall of the house was a wooden rack loaded with pool cues and a wooden rack.
'Wow', I thought to myself, that's beautiful! I walked in to the room and looked at my new pool table. There was a great big bow in the middle with a card attached to it. I picked up the card and immediately recognized the hand writing. It was David's. The card read, "From all of us at the office, we just wanted to thank you." At the bottom and on the sides were the signatures of everyone from the office. Apparently Kayko had been talking to them while I was away. She knew I always wanted a pool table, but I never bought one because I was never home long enough to use it. Now, that problem was solved. I guess my boss figured I would take the partnership so the table would be put to good use.
I carried the card with me as I went into my office and sat down at my desk. I could hear the people talking in the house, but I just needed a little alone time to contemplate things and stew about possible futures. As I sat there, Saki came in to the room and stopped right beside me.
"Are you ok Uncle Mike?" she asked in a rather timid voice.
I looked up at my pet. She was beautiful in her blue kimono with her hair pulled back, looking very Japanese. I smiled at her and reached out, placing my hand on her shoulder. "Yes sweetie, I'm fine." I said in a very reassuring tone. "Uncle Mike just has a lot on his mind."
Saki glanced around a bit before her eyes locked with mine again. "Would you like a beer?"
I hadn't really thought about it, but since I got home I had not had anything. Looking back into her bright face I said, "Sure honey, I'd love a beer."
Instantly she spun around and headed for the door. I set the envelope and the card down on my desk and leaned back in my chair. Today was really turning out to be something. A big bonus check, a vacation in the Caribbean, and a pool table; what else was going to happen? Moments later Saki came back in carrying my beer. She had a nice smile on her face and was carrying the beer with one hand under the bottom while the other gripped it around its girth.
"Here you go," she said as she again stopped right next to my chair and handed me the cold drink.
"Thank you sweetie," I said as I took the beer from her and took a big pull.
As I set the beer down on my desk I noticed that Saki had not gone anywhere. She just stood there watching my every move like she was expecting some kind of magic trick or something. I glanced up at the door to make sure no one was there before I reached out with my left hand and slid it up the inside of her left leg. Almost instantly Saki shuttered and spread her feet apart. The inside of her thigh was hot, and the farther up my hand went, I encountered more and more moisture. When my hand finally reached her naked bald pussy I found out that my pet was soaking wet. Her lips were all slimy and it felt like her cum was running down the insides of her legs.
"Whoa," I said as I pushed a finger into her. "Somebody is ready."
Saki let out a sigh and a bunch of her weight came down on my hand, pushing my finger deep into her. "Please Uncle Mike," she almost moaned, "I need something."
I was a bit worried that one of my guests might come in and catch us. That would be very difficult to explain. I pulled my finger out of her and quickly brought it up to my mouth and sucked her cum off. "Go and get your egg." I said before giving her a little pat on the hip.
Saki vanished. No sooner had she rounded the corner at the door when one of my co-workers came in. It was Tom, one of the other marketing executives. "So this is where all the magic happens," he stated as he walked in and looked around the room.
I know he didn't realize just how accurate that statement was. If he had come in just a few seconds earlier he would have seen some real magic, the disappearing finger trick. "Yea," I said as I pushed myself away from my desk, "If you could call it that."
I walked over to the door with him and headed back out into the room. The guests were fanned out everywhere, and everyone was eating. I shook hands and mingled with everyone on my way through to the kitchen when Saki showed back up. She came right up to me and grasped my hand, palming the remote for her egg to me in the process. I leaned down and gave her a kiss on the head while I switched the egg on. Instantly a smile came across her face as she hugged herself to my side.
"You really have some nice kids," one of the secretaries said to me as she looked down at the beaming girl.
"Thanks," I replied as I slipped the remote into my pocket. "This is my niece, Saki. She is the daughter of Kaykos' brother." and I put my arm around her shoulders and presented her.
"Nice to meet you," Janet said with a smile.
Saki looked up at her before she bowed politely. Janet raised an eyebrow before she looked at me. "Did you teach her that?"
"No," I replied as I looked at Janet who was sporting a puzzled look. "She learned that in Japan. It is a simple show of respect." I leaned down next to Sakis' ear and whispered to her. "Go tell Erin to get her egg."
Saki gave me a little nod before she looked around the room and headed off. Her whole demeanor seemed to change with the egg buzzing away inside her. Her walk was less frantic, and she seemed more relaxed. I chatted with Janet and several other people before I made it to the table with the food. It's a good thing the party was catered because most of the food was gone. 30 or so people can really pack it down. As I put the last scoop of beans on my plate Erin stepped up to me.
"Hi sweetie," I said before leaning down to give her a kiss on the forehead. "Did Saki find you?"
"Yes she did," she replied, and she slipped her remote into my hand. I flipped the switch to the on position and watched Erin jump a little before a big smile came across her face. "Thanks dad."
The party continued for several more hours, slowly and steadily dwindling in size, before the last few guests left just after 3. Almost all of the booze was gone, and the caterers were just finishing their clean up when I finally got to talk to Kayko.
"Thank you honey," I said as I gave her a big hug. "How did you manage this?"
"I was contacted by David while you were on your last trip to Europe," she said as she took a seat on one of the bar stools and crossed her legs. "They have been planning this for a few weeks now but wanted to hold the party some place special. I suggested here because of the kids." I glanced into the living room to see all four of them picking up napkins and any other loose mislaid items. I looked back at Kayko who had a smile on her face. "Sorry about sending you on the goose hunt this morning but we needed to get you out of the house so they could set up the pool table."
She meant to say 'goose chase', but I was not about to split hairs about a slight grammar issue.
"Thank you anyway," I reiterated. "It was a nice party."
The last few crates were loaded by the caterers before they headed down the road. Once again we had the house to ourselves. I watched Kayko as she rounded up the kids and sent them upstairs to change. She was the model of efficiency and the supreme coordinator of the house. As the kids disappeared at the top of the stairs she turned to look at me. With a very slow and deliberate motion she pulled the sachet at her waist, allowing her kimono to open to reveal her naked form underneath.
"You have a new pool table in the den," she said as she allowed the garment to drop to the floor, leaving her standing in the middle of the room completely naked. "Wanna play?"
"Hell Yea!"

And remember Auroa each day from e time he gets back from a trip till he goes on is documented here so far, and each day is also covered from the time he gets up to the time he goes to bed, so ya its safe to assume he IS covering what goes on all the time ( again minus business trips) hence which makes it clear who he favours.

Plain and Simple. If he DOES love his Erin equally or as much then why NOT do a story for her of some of THEIR times togther. Heck even a short one. Or hell even a chapter with NO saki and just Erin, show that Erin DOES mean as much to him becuase so far he ain;t convincing me.

"One thing I took away from Squires," says Meyer, "is that there's a lot of different ways to get fit. I don't remember Squires ever talking about times in the marathon. He only talked about strategy and beating people. If you get people to believe and if they're happy, they tend to do well."
"I think the most important thing was his enthusiasm and passion," Rodgers says. "Billy [Squires] got you fired up." Squires once called Beardsley at 9:30 on a Tuesday night. "I got so fired up I wanted to go out for a 20-miler right then," Beardsley says. "I told him, 'Coach, from now on you can't call me after 8:00. I get too excited.'
"I totally believed everything he told me," Beardsley says. "If he had told me to go sit in a garbage can, I'd have done it."
Nearing the end of his eighth decade, Squires is slightly stooped. He had a small stroke in 2009 and a pacemaker inserted last December. He no longer drives. "My eyes are gone," Squires says. "One night, oh geez, bad storm. I said to the good Lord, 'If you get me home, with the rain and these ziggy roads up here that I run, I'll give up my license.'"
Despite the declines, Squires still stands over 6 feet tall. A lifelong runner's calves are evident when he props up his legs. He runs five or six days a week. "I have to," he says. "Without running I'd be long gone."
Squires was born in South Boston with a defective heart–one of the four valves is so narrow as to be nonfunctional. His mother moved them to Arlington when he was 12 to be closer to the doctor who Squires says saved his life. (The South Boston accent remains, and becomes more pronounced the more animated he becomes.) Instead of exerting himself as little as possible, as had been the advice, Squires was told to exercise, two to three hours a day. He ran, played football and basketball and other sports. In high school he was urged to focus on running, his best sport, so that he could earn a college scholarship.
At Notre Dame, he was a track star. As a sophomore in 1954, he narrowly lost the NCAA mile championship to Salazar's future college coach, Bill Dellinger. He made All-American three times. With bests of 21.7 for 220 yards and 47.6 for the quarter, Squires was versatile, and his coach had him run multiple races most weekends. Squires sensed this wasn't the way to maximize his potential. Out of college, he raced overseas while in the Army in the mid-to late 1950s. Squires says he was a "baby spy" and that part of his front was being in a unit known for its runners. At a time when a sub-4:00 mile was world-class, Squires ran 4:04.7.
Once out of the Army, Squires settled home in Massachusetts while waiting to hear about a sales job for Wilson Sporting Goods in California. He knew because of his heart he should keep running, and because, in his words, "running is the most freakin' boring sport," he continued to compete. In his telling, one day Squires was running at Wakefield High School, north of Boston, when some of the school's runners pleaded with him to become their coach.
In his first year coaching cross country, Squires' team won the state title. "You have to understand," he says, "these were the world's worst kids. They were useless! But American coaches were idiots. They knew nothing. I got the crapbums of all time, and if I can win states with these kids … " He knew how to coach, he says, from training himself after college. "I was the experiment with everything," he says. "I knew I wasn't really a distance runner." After more state championships, Squires began coaching at Boston State College, where in 18 years he produced 16 All-Americans. In 1973, when Greater Boston was formed, Squires added post-collegiate runners to his repertoire.
Squires is an autodidact who prides himself on always being the sharpest guy in the room. He once rolled a tennis ball over part of the Boston Marathon course to demonstrate to his runners the best way to run that hill. About Arthur Lydiard, he says, "Arthur learned more from me than I did from him." Of Bill Bowerman, coach of Steve Prefontaine, he says, "Bowerman didn't know horsecrap."
His stories owe something to George Carlin routines in their depiction of mentally outmatched people; when imitating the others, Squires' voice becomes slightly feminine, a little slow, and evokes someone standing with their eyes and mouth a little too open.
For example, he says, "I have a thing with exercise physiologists. They only work with established runners. They can't coach a cat to meow. To be a marathon coach, you better run the marathon. You don't have to be a speed demon but you have to do it. Then your body can get the feel. I'd say, 'You ever run a marathon?' [He switches to his imitation voice.] 'No, no, Coach. I was a swimmer.' [Back to Squires.] Wonderful. If we have a flood the kid is sure to win."
He clearly enjoys the thought of exploiting others' psychology to get his way. Often the ruses seem overly clever. While on road trips with Greater Boston, Squires thought his runners slept better with the air conditioning running. Instead of simply saying, "I'm the coach, here's what I think," Squires devised this scheme: As the group was leaving the motel for dinner, he would say, "Hold on fellas, I forgot something," and then go back to the room and turn on the air conditioning.
To find out whether Rodgers was going against his wishes and indulging in frequent races for money, Squires would pull phone pranks on his star runner, pretending to be a race director offering a hefty appearance fee. When Rodgers would excitedly agree to run the race, Squires would revert to his normal voice and call him out.
At track workouts, when he wanted to make sure his runners weren't working too hard, he would pretend he had missed the time for a repeat. "They'd go, 'Aw geez, Coach! Hey Dickie, you get it? Yeah, yeah, I got it,'" Squires says. "It's a ploy. If they can respond like that, I know they still have life in them." In this case, not only does the machination seem unnecessary, but some former runners doubt it's what was happening. Meyer, laughing, says, "I think he made this up later in life. He often had no idea what we were doing. Half the time we'd look up at the end of a repeat and he'd be sitting in the stands reading the Boston Herald sports section."

On an annoyance scale, it's perhaps a few decimal points shy of Duke Nukem Forever. But I just can't make myself hate it, no matter how hard I try.
