Summary

David is on vacation in Florida.  He is worried that he will not get 
laid.  He does get laid, and in a hot tub.

Commentary

The best things I can say about this story is that is does not do 
some of the things that make for a bad story.  The sex is not 
encyclopedic.  There is a plot, i.e. the sex does not begin with 
the second sentence.  The characters in this story have some 
standards.  Other then that it is just an average story.

The plot was simple.  The characters were not all that exciting.  
There was a dilemma, but it did not take any soul searching on 
David's part for it to be resolved.

The setting seemed generic, and did not have a life of its own.  
Actually it reminded me more of a wasteland, because the characters 
in this story could have been in an oasis in the middle of nowhere 
for all I could tell.

This was not a bad story but it was not a great story.

Judgment

This is a good story, but I would have liked to have seen a little 
more character development and a little more effort put into 
describing the setting.  These are major knocks on this story, but I 
still consider it a good effort.
