My life is decidely different than it was a year ago, 3 years ago or 7 years ago. Colin and I move around and like to keep things interesting. Our latest additions to the household have definitely redefined the meaning of “interesting.” And exhausting.
So as a sweet little surprise for my birthday, Colin called in [...]

Linda Wolfe and I are in the same boat. We feel lonely.
You can get married, once or lots of times (23 in Linda’s case), and still feel lonely. Sure you might have a built-in partner who is around a lot, but never cures the echoes inside of each of us.
I don’t feel “bad” when [...]

… or Why I Wear My Hot Sexy Boots for A Gay Guy I Only See Once Every Eight Weeks

I am off at 12:30 to see The Man– Mickey, my [...]

Colin and I are carving our pumpkins tonight on Hilltop. I bought them from the little farm around the corner from us. They didn’t grow them there (their crop got whacked by the hailstorm in August too), but got them from Hamden up the road.
I am going through all the motions of my favorite favorite [...]
