beautiful hair of yours would look really pretty on my pillow. Let me know if you change your mind.”
    When he was gone, I turned to Mo and said “Mo, I don’t think I’ve ever been called Red Hot. I think I kind of like it.”
    “Enjoy it while you can, Meggie. Next thing you know you’re my age and invisible. When I was your age and in the Corps, the guys called me Sizzle. When I walked by, they stood in line and saluted, and I’m not talkin’ with their arms. Those were the good old days.”
    “Well, Mo, I think you look great.”
    “Yeah, well, I got a little more meat on my bones, but how’s that old song go? ‘It ain’t the meat, it’s the motion, that makes that Mama want to rock.’ Well, maybe I’ll meet someone at the Pinewood tonight who wants to do some rockin’.”
    “Have fun, Mo. I guess I’d better get my talk with Cathy and Kenny over with.”
    “Good luck, honey. I’d volunteer to do it for yah, but I can’t piss anyone off. It’s not good for business. They won’t give you a hard time because there are more boats than boat slips in this area, and they were lucky to get one here. In my case, there are a lot of restaurants they can eat at, and I need to keep my customers.”
    “No problem, Mo. I’ll let you know how it goes.”
    Like a prisoner being sent to the gallows, I slowly walked over to A dock and, with dread, proceeded on down to The Grain Man, which was in the middle on the right-hand side. As I approached, I saw Cathy sitting in a chair wearing a hot pink bathing suit top and beige shorts, sunning herself on the deck. She was a beautiful woman, very sexy-looking with just enough curves. I’m going to put curves on my letter to Santa this year. I didn’t see Kenny, and I was hoping he wasn’t below because it would be easier to talk to her alone.
    I took a deep breath and said, “ Hey, Cathy, can I come aboard?”
    She looked up at me and waved me on. “Sure, come have a seat.”
    “Is Kenny here?”
    “No, he went to the liquor store. What’s up?”
    I breathed a sigh of relief and went down the ladder and sat in the other deck chair.
    I cleared my throat and said, “Cathy, I’m really embarrassed about what I have to say to you, but I’ve had some complaints from the other customers about the noise coming from your boat at night.”
    She looked surprised and said, “Oh. Is our radio too loud? Kenny loves his music.”
    “Well, not really the radio. The thing is, people have been complaining they can’t sleep because they can hear you having sex all night.”
    Cathy started laughing. I nervously laughed with her. I’m sure my face was as red as my hair at this point.
    She said, “Well, Meggie, there are some frigid people around here, you know. Maybe some of these women should be thanking me instead of complaining about me. I bet I’ve gotten them laid. Their guys have probably gotten hot listening to me and jumped their bones.”
    “Well, that may be the case, Cathy, but even some of the fisherman over on B dock have been complaining they aren’t getting any sleep, and they have to get up early to catch the morning bite.”
    She shook her head and said, “What’s up with those guys anyway? You would think they were monks. I’ve hardly ever seen a woman on that dock.”
    “I don’t know anything about that. All I know is they’ve been having trouble sleeping, too.”
    She smiled at me and said, “To be perfectly honest with you, Meggie, I just do it because it gets Kenny excited. He likes things sexy.”
    “Well, Cathy, maybe you could think up something else that would work as well. You could do some fantasy stuff.”
    “Like what?”
    Oh boy, now I really stepped in it. Why did I open my big mouth? Sometimes I’m verbally incontinent.
    I said, “I don’t know. I’m not that experienced. Maybe you could pretend Kenny is in prison, you’re having a conjugal visit, and if you make noise, he has to do more time. Or maybe he could be a pirate
