just had one question for him, "Do you smoke?"

He replied, "Nope. Gave it up long ago."

I looked at the owner and said, "No problem."

He looked pretty relieved. I knew where he was coming from. Most AV techs hate having to share rooms. We tend to bitch and moan when we have to do it. I'm pretty easy going though. Inside I was bitching and moaning, but on the outside I just took it in stride as one of the various potential hazards that come up occasionally. My best hope was that the event had better planning put into it and that it went well. I like for my part of any event to be as professional as possible. And one thing that can cause an event to crash and burn is crappy, old or out-dated, or even broken AV equipment. My thought was that if they messed up something as simple as getting us our own rooms, then what else were they going to mess up.

Lee and I headed to the front desk to check-in. Making small talk along the way. I did inform him that I snore very loudly. He replied back that he used to snore so now he was used to the sound. We both laughed out loud, we'd see how he felt near the end of the event. He may be ready to kill me by then.

After getting our stuff up to the room and unpacked (I believe in putting my stuff in the drawers if I am going to be there more than 3 days) it was time for dinner. We went to this place nearby that he knew about that served some pretty decent burgers at a decent price.

As we walked back we got to know each other better. Like me, he too was married and had kids. I had more kids than he did. He had been in the AV business a few years less than I but he definitely seemed to be on top of his game. He was a very nice guy.

After we got back we flipped for whoever got to use the shower first and he won. I decided to check my email and just surf while he was in there. I talked to my wife for a little while, where I did a quick bitch and moan session about the situation.

He was still in when I decided to surf over to my favorite sex story site. I read a few stories. I like a variety of things. One thing I have noticed is that the older I get the more I seem to be willing to read more risqué stuff such as the Loving Couple, Nonconsensual and even the Gay Male stories. Today there seemed to be more Gay Male stuff than anything else. I have found that occasionally these things go in cycles like this.

So, I read some of the stories that had descriptions that appealed to me more than others. I wasn't at all into the namby pamby flamboyantly gay stuff. I was more into first timers' stories. I also liked to see Loving Couple stories where, to add a little spice, they added a partner and it turned into a surprise bi session for the guy.

Just after I got thru reading a particularly vivid story that really got me hot and bothered to the point
