I'm posting again on my old blog if you want to check it out.

Comment somewhere if you want to be on the mailing list for updates. The RSS feed should be working; let me know if there are issues. I don't have my design back on the site yet; I need to dig up my old templates and convert them to the new rev of MovableType, so if you're looking at hte page, expect design instability for a little while.

Big thing is, I need to write, and writing without readers is like mental masturbation. So, I'm back. Don't expect any X-rated content any more, though, or anything that could be used by my vicious [X] to try to hurt me in our awful divorce war.

Shock and Wonder! An entry!

Seth and I are discussing a trip north, with stops planned in Boston, New York, and Vermont. Other destinations will be considered.

The dates for this outing would be the 6th through the 14th of March.

Anyone who is interested in catching up in person, let us know. Anyone local that wants to take a day or three of cat duty, likewise!!
