My Recent Activity

And now, a rant (blog entry) I'd get y'all caught up on what's been going on and why I've been so quiet but it would take a year. Instead, you get this.

Those of you that have known me for, well - decades, lets call it like it is, know that I like to play "When I am Queen... read more

and so it was (blog entry) Wild Geese


You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and... read more

Well that was unexpected (blog entry) Tonight was the first night of massage class. The class went really well and I loved it. Unfortunately we were robbed at gunpoint just after the class ended. John was outside waiting to pick me up, they robbed him first and then, when one of the s... read more

Your Sergeant is Here (blog entry) Life has a funny and odd way of putting people and experiences into my path. I never seem to notice when it initially happens - I just keep stumbling along. And then - when I am just at the point where I really need help and am banging my head a... read more

Seasonal What's Thing (blog entry) I am extremely crabby.
Somewhere - probably not far from here - the person that decided to close my gym for maintenance in December is still drawing breath. I'd really like to put a stop to that. My sneaking suspicions that only exercise indu... read more

I'd get y'all caught up on what's been going on and why I've been so quiet but it would take a year. Instead, you get this.

Those of you that have known me for, well - decades, lets call it like it is, know that I like to play "When I am Queen." This is nothing more than a silly passing the time game where I figure out who should be in my cabinet, my ministers of defense, etc., and generally imagine what it will be like when I rule all that I survey (although not in that all shall love m... read more

Wild Geese


You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the... read more

Tonight was the first night of massage class. The class went really well and I loved it. Unfortunately we were robbed at gunpoint just after the class ended. John was outside waiting to pick me up, they robbed him first and then, when one of the students opened the front door to leave (I was right behind her) barged in. Three guys smelling potently of marijuana. We were told to lie on the floor or they'd fucking kill us. We were called bitches repeatedly. They asked for cash so I took all the... read more

Life has a funny and odd way of putting people and experiences into my path. I never seem to notice when it initially happens - I just keep stumbling along. And then - when I am just at the point where I really need help and am banging my head against the brick wall until my eyes rattle in their sockets I look around and realize that I have the tools I need right here. The people around me that can help me open up new windows and see familiar things in a new way are right here. Some of th... read more

I am extremely crabby.
Somewhere - probably not far from here - the person that decided to close my gym for maintenance in December is still drawing breath. I'd really like to put a stop to that. My sneaking suspicions that only exercise induced endorphins stood between me and hormone filled seasonal depression sooper crabby assholery have been confirmed as fact. I feel all slippery in my head and keep skidding and sliding between states that can best be described as "I am killing you w... read more

My Testimonials

November 27, 2007
What do you say when God looks down on you gasping for karmic breath and says "ok....ok...I will send you divine inspiration, guidance and knowledge...but it is wrapped in a huge ball of random (and before you get all wonky about huge and ball...I am speaking metaphysically-mrph!)?

That is Gwen, my second self, my best friend and the perfect morph of Tim and me put together in a human of no actual genetic connection. (We bowled together in a past life in Atlantis, however). I have known this human deity for more years than I care to count. She and I grew up similar in many ways and we also veered off our paths in VERY different ways as well. This makes Gwen the perfect person to talk me outta my tree when I am in the midst of some great panic. She gets it...I mean she REALLY gets it!

Here is the ultimate, folks...I mean she can kill with her freakin hands and yet (next to me) is the biggest marshmallow heart you can tap into. When you find yourself in times of trouble...she's got your back and the rest of the family's too! Ain't no one I want in my corner but her, thankyouverymuch...

Fondest memory, walking up to Gerald and Catherine's apartment in So Pas and hearing Bauhaus blasting through the bathroom window...Gwen was getting her head shaved...just sayin...

And then there was the piss-up to end all piss-ups in the back woods of Santa Cruz where we literally drank ourselves across the valley from dive bar to dive bar until we landed at the "Over the Hill Gang Saloon" A fitting final stop on my birthday alcohol bindge... swilling booze and hearing country western music. What can you say when you are inches from her face and she comments on how her life is like an indie movie? The only thing you can say when completely blotto.....

"We Walked with GODS Man!" and then stagger home.

Love you man!
