Book excerpt: From The Patralmador Paradox: Pendleton drew a deep breath and shifted uneasily in his chair, 'I know you're going to think this is very strange but, please understand, this is not my idea. I have to ask about your, uh, sexuality." 'You mean do I like boys or girls, or both? Or neither?" 'I'm hoping you like boys." He hurriedly added, 'Not that it matters." Sheila was laughing again, 'You sound like Seinfeld." 'Who?" 'Never mind. Go on with your questions." 'Do you like boys and do you enjoy sexual intercourse?" 'Yes. And yes." Her tone changed and her smile disappeared, 'Both of the above." 'Good, that's good. Have you had many partners?" 'How many is 'many'?" 'Ten?" 'No." Sheila marveled at her own patience; the laughing had put her in a good mood but it was fading fast. 'Five?" 'No." 'Three?" 'Oh, for God's sake! This sucks! What kind of job interview is this? Or is it a job interview? Are you hitting on me? Is that it? I've heard about a Hollywood casting couch but this is ridiculous!" Sheila rose again to leave. 'No, no, no. Please, please.

Sheila shook her head, 'Very funny."

Download or read book The Wrights of Vermont Searching for My Father s Family written by George T. Wright and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When my sister and brother and I were growing up on Staten Island, Dad told us very little about his Vermont boyhood, and nothing at all about his father. We respected his silence. We figured he had good reason for it. But long after Dad's death, my sister and I started to look more closely at our family history. Soon we were connected to a world of New England striving and struggle that we came to see as part of our own Vermont heritage. So this is the story of Dad and his mother and brother, and his unreliable father, and his father's five sisters, whom we'd known nothing about before we began our research. It pays tribute to an everyday heroine, Dad's mother, who took her sons to Staten Island to begin a new life when her marriage failed. It also traces earlier Wrights (and forebears with other surnames, like Little, Bailey, Hadley, Hathaway, Shattuck, Blanchard, and Burt) in towns all over Vermont (and New Hampshire and Massachusetts), some of them with their own compelling stories -- farmers, soldiers, railroad men, miners, housewives, and keepers of inns and hotels. These are my Wrights of Vermont.
