A funny thing happened on my way to the fugue
Ok, so, true story – I had gotten the weasels to bed and was writing a bunch of excruciatingly sad and gothily introspective stuff right here where this paragraph is now, when I heard our tom cat,...

Quiet Morning
I haven’t had a free morning in a very, very long time, which made yesterday even more delicious. 2 whole hours to make coffee, read a tiny bit (Bitchfest – a collection of essays from Bitch Magazine...

My Undoing
Saturday I did a very difficult thing – I asked Kyle to release me from His collar. It was a hard thing to ask, and a hard thing to want, but it was still the right thing for me. I’m struggling to put...

Theography
This week was a rare one for us – Theo was in town for 5 days out of 7. After trips out of state and out of the country (with a brief visit squeezed in between trips to places far away to see me on...

Four
Four years ago last night, I met Kyle on Twitter. (Kyle wrote a beautiful little post about it here.) We celebrated a little by me finding my password and giving it a go after more than a year away....

I Find Myself Wanting
I say, “Something precious - safe, rolling blankets, fighting for things worth being sure of. Not for sale, not black and shiny, not sharks or peacocks, just small and soft, just mine and yours, love,...

The Desk She Keeps in the Closet
I spent nearly 48 hours over three days with Theo this weekend. It was good for so many reasons – getting to see her, of course, but also getting to be an adult again, being someone other than the...

Staying
This week, Theo and I hit a wall. It was a surprise, because I thought things were going pretty well, but, as these things sometimes go, one small unhappiness turned into a larger conversation, which...

Staying II
It’s been a year since Kyle came to visit. Five months since I saw them face to face up in Washington. Four weeks since I sent them something in the mail. Two days since I heard their voice on the...

I Like
GG wrote about what she likes on her blog, and invited readers to add their likes. I’ve copied my response here, and I invite you to add yours. (Warning – as soon as you think you’ve finished, your...

Shameless
I suppose it’s no surprise if I tell you that these blog posts are all just the tips of us, clues as to what lies beneath. Kyle and I’ve spent a good portion of the past week...

Closing Time
Closing Time was playing on the radio yesterday on one of the half-dozen stations I listen to when NPR gets too serious even for me. Originally, the song came out in 1998 – I checked, because I have...

Soundtrack for the Apocalypse – Breathe
I was joking with my cousin the other day that, with everything that’s happened over the past ten years, I’m now well-certified as a tour guide for the apocalypse. Eventually everyone I know goes...

Living Through
Hello again. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. A few wonderful things happened this week. Theo contacted me and we got to talk a bit after far too much silence. Skype remains the best way to...

Unbearable Lightness My Ass
Well, that’s a title, isn’t it? I’m pretty fond of it. It references an artsy movie from the 80s about Czechoslovakia, love, sex, humiliation and promiscuity, as well as Nietzsche, which is pretty...

Too Fast to Stop

My Brain’s Full
I survived! The heat (115+) did not get me, nor did meeting 200+ folks for the first time. I even survived being hit on a few times, which is definitely good work if you can find it. Most surprising...

Neck-Deep in Magic
Whenever we’re lucky enough to be sharing a bed, Theo loves to happily bury her face in my cleavage. From between my breasts, I can hear her giggle and say – in a very muffled voice – that she can’t...

“Why Are You Here?”
Hi there. Tonight I am exhausted, a combination of too little sleep last night, because I was editing photos, and too much fight today with weasels who promised to finish their homework later if I...
