I have one week before I leave for Budapest then Croatia – wow – I can’t imagine swimming in the Adriatic every day instead of sitting at my desk with IM, Skype, cell, landline, computer, email, and calendar and notebook all at my fingertips – ready, aim, fire… – I’m going to enter eel time in a big way. I was speaking to a colleague about how their sabbatical went and they said they were…
I would never watch television again. The remote control isn’t working here at my friend’s or at my house and you know what – that is a blessing. I’m watching the J-man play army on the coffee table, another is in a lap with a bottle, and still another is napping. The house is much more centered and aligned without the blaring Toons and Nick on sending noise waves and amping up children’s restless hormones.…
Out of context from my world, I entered the world of a friend – bilaterally, multidimensionally, and all around topsy turvy – my friend, I have a new appreciation for what she does on a daily basis. Three children, husband, dog, tough job – wow! I think of my sweetheart at home waiting for me – think of our routine that we fell so instantly into – dogs, cat, and us – how fluidly we…
New York was a tricky trip – nothing went according to plan and the only thing redeemable was catching up with a few people that made it worthwhile. Coming home was less tricky – waiting for me were two dogs, one cat, and a loving T. Honestly, sometimes home = a beer on the front porch chit chatting, watching animals play and negotiate space from the couch – in other words: joie de vivre right…
A friend of mine likes to tell the story about her ring – her favorite, one of a kind ring that she always wears. She was standing in the ocean with a friend and her ring slipped off her finger and they both frantically searched for the ring in the sand with their toes and dove down to feel around in the sand – then my friend came up for air and realized it was…
Back a year ago, I was trying to learn how to fire dance and my friend who is a marvelous fire dancer gave me poi to practice with – but I could never master the moves. Then I thought I would spend my sabbatical traveling through India but first stopping at a surf camp to learn how to surf in Costa Rica. Well my story went to the left and took a different route and…
A friend of mine who blogs accepts advertising on his blog. Advertising is my passion – I have followed it for almost a decade. But on my blog – I don’t think so. The other day a PR person sent me a note to look at this book written about New Orleans because she wanted me to write about it in my blog = big yuck. If I endorse – it is because I came…
I had this sense today walking towards a conference from my midtown hotel over to 50th and 8th of the vibrancy of New York – there was this exhilaration that comes with the energy here with people of all cultures, food smells mingling in the air, bright lights in the middle of the bright sunlight – but by the time I had hustled to the conference, run from session to session, interview to interview, phone…
Someone said to me tonight that they would rather be sitting on the couch with their wife most any night – and I agree!!!
Someone asked T who is the wife and who is the husband in our relationship. The best part about being in a Lesbian relationship is being able to break free of gender constraints. I am naturally a boy albeit I look very woman-like. As a young girl, I aligned with my brothers and my father more than my mother and sister. That in no way signifies that I wasn’t attracted to men – I was…
