It's about Loyalty, Friendship, and Family It's about Sexual Intrigue. It's About Time. Intricately interwoven within the plot is a wild and wacky look at life through the eyes of our own meek hero, Jim. With a backdrop of sexual intrigue and blackmail, Jim encounters Roland, a lawyer recently relocated from New York City. Through the course of a day, Jim learns about Roland's fall into degradation. Jim also takes a look at his own humdrum and un-eventful life. Roland's early morning call to Jim begging a ride to work begins a day of intrigue and suspense. Jim discovers that Roland was forced to leave his Manhattan law firm because of an unsavory blackmail scheme involving Roland's ex-wife. The Author shares with us his sage and witty reflections in this wacky romp through one day in the life of our humble hero. Along the way, both Jim and Roland come to discover what they really want from life and how to get it.

I realize that the important women in my life, my secretary and my wife, are very much cut from an identical mold. When the fabric of life was laid out, it seems that the seamstress in the sky looked over and said, "Yes. There’s Jim. I will give him this pattern for his women. In order to not distract him from those important things he must do, I will give him the no frills pattern for a woman." When my mind takes this tract, I wonder who is getting all the frilly women? Why them and not me? Why should I not get the excitement of wild hot colors of cloth covering my women? Better yet, hot see-through lace lying lightly across them? Judy is about ten years my wife’s senior. Except for that difference, the similarities are startling. Judy, like my wife, is attractive and well formed. No added meat on these women of mine. But, alas, also no added sensitivities nor sensual delights that a man can manipulate in his mind. No frills here. Just the basic model. Made to give years of maintenance free service.
