Keep on moving

I’m not in one spot for long these days. Different neighborhoods, different neighbors. I moved a few days ago. Not far, but elsewhere. I had been in a place where the main feature was running water. The new place has a pool, a gym, and a hot tub. It’s surrounded by embassies and a huge […]

Bunny

I never got to meet you. You were a person I desperately wanted in my life. I wanted to see a little piece of me, formed from nothing but love, cradled in my arms. You were going to be a wonderful person, learning and loving and questioning and playing in our house. You were going […]

Still here

So, I’m not writing about a lot online at the moment. Still in the midst of divorce stuff, and I think it’s best to just keep pretty much everything to myself while it’s still going on. But I’m going to get back to a more quasi-regular posting schedule once that’s all over with and the […]

Big Bad News

So, turns out I’m getting a divorce. Still in the middle of all the paperwork and legal stuff, so I’m not going to get into details or try to demonize my ex. It’s shitty for everyone involved and I wish it weren’t happening, but I gotta deal. When I initially told people, friends and family […]

Be Afraid…

I’m making tofu. From scratch. I’ll give you the full story when it’s finished…

So, this was my weekend…
