    My First TimeBy Kevin McKayedited by Jennifer Bowman-McKayMy first time is something I will never forget. I was in my 20's and this was totally new to me. I wanted to try it and wanted it bad. I know it was late in life for my first experience but it is just how it worked out. It was early on a dark and cold April morning. I woke at 1 am as the excitement was over- whelming.

With the warm weather in July setting the tone for a hot and dry summer without any rain to speak of...Read More...
