This is the sexual menu most of us were fed growing up. Imagine eating boiled chicken for every meal. Now, this menu would be what most of us were taught was the sexual holy grail.I'm going to use anatomically correct language here. Penis in vagina intercourse. Notice there is no seasoning.Now, some of us who weren't taught that seasoning on actual chicken is essential. And I'm more for you. No Tony Satcheries, no Li seasoned salt, no garlic powder.That is diabolical. But I digress. So many women ate from t ...

For his 50th birthday, my husband had one wish, a trek to Everest base camp. And then he dropped the second part. He wanted me to go whip him.Now listen, I love hiking and I love the mountains, but this was no picnic. This was altitude, cold, and a lot of prep. Eventually, I did say yes and quickly went into project management mode.I figured, how hard can it be. I lead people through change for a living. Build the plan, map the risks, stay on track.So when it came time to plan this track, I did what I'd bee ...

Thank you. What you're seeing and hearing is the Roland AE30, their flagship wind synthesizer. Roland is a rather unique company.They've been around for 50 years.
