Years ago, when the original version of this blog got eaten by a server, I knew that I wanted something different for this space. I knew I wanted something better. I wanted to use this space to help pull myself out of the muck and turn it into sort of a temple to all the
LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX BABY
When I was a teenager I remember sitting around with my girl teenager friends talking about what we would or wouldn’t do with a guy. All of them said that they would never suck cock. I always kept my mouth shut during these conversations because I couldn’t say that I would never do one thing
GARAGE FLOP
Maybe it was the cold. Maybe it was the gunshots heard in the neighborhood the night before. Maybe it was that I only thought I’d posted that ad on Craigslist. Who knows? But Amy and I got up at 6 AM, set everything out and was ready for business by 7:30 AM excited and anticipating
THANKFUL FRIDAY
Today’s Thankful Friday is going to get rambley. There’s just a lot to be thankful for this week especially with all that’s happened in Boston. I went ahead and signed up to have $10 taken out every month to go to a project at Donors Choose. I usually defer to Talaura as to what project

I had that beautiful seed catalog sitting here on my coffee table just staring at me, but every time I thought about ordering seeds I was either out of money or it was snowing. I even toyed with the idea of not planting anything this year. But then we would have these days in between
THANKFUL FRIDAY
On Monday, I had my visit with the breast surgeon. She decided that it would be best to try to aspirate fluid from the cysts and maybe take some tissue for biopsy. I have been loathe to write about any of it because I have family that will read this and start freaking out and
LOVE THURSDAY
I know I’ve been quiet this week. Mostly its because I have nothing new to tell you. I am currently on hold. While I’ve been on hold this week, Spring has coming roaring into town. I say roaring because our evenings have been loud with thunder and the sound of heavy rain. We wake up
PHOTO MEDITATION
A few weeks ago I read this article on the flickr Blog about Jose Vazquez. He takes the most amazing photos with his cell phone. The same cell phone that I have. I completely related to his story of how he went from DSLR to iPhone. He’s just an average guy who just wanted to
