The thirty-two-year-old dealt with the obnoxious males of the Boston Police Department for ten years before a rich kid in a Lincoln ruined her knee and ended her career.

Yet once every seventeen flights, and there is no other valid data than my own to bear out those numbers, your luck comes up aces and you get a traveling companion with a knack for telling a good tale. Well my friend, here's twenty-four of the...

After you've played your twenty-seventh game of shuffleboard . today, and one more lobster dinner is going to force you to grow claw crackers, find a quiet place with a comfortable deck chair.
