I don't even know where to start this, really.  And every time I try, I get choked up.  Thank you to EVERYONE who made SBL Madison a success.  Even though I know better, I'm going to try to acknowledge as many as my mind will allow me to remember.  If you don't see your name, it's only because I'm still decompressing and my brain isn't cooperating. You know who you are and it's likely that I've thanked you in person…

It just hit me. 

Like a freight train crashing at full speed.

Most of my SBL peeps are in Madison, readying for the yearly "chosen family" reunion.

I had so much work lately, I barely had time to think about it. So this morning, as Drew woke me up from a bad night, where my dreams featured a vengeful cat, and some of my roommates decided to be drunken assholes at 1 and 3 am, I just realized it.

There's a SBL going on, and I won't be…

Wow - I can't believe it's here already. I remember a phone conversation back in late 2010, when the decision was made that SBL was going back to Madison. There was confusion, some doubt and lots of excitement. Lots of phone calls and conversations included the phrase, “No. Not THIS May – Go out another year. 2012!” The time and efforts put into the event will hopefully appear this weekend. I just wanted to thank all of…

I'm finally dusting off my computer, and cleaning up my sites, taking time to write as well.  It's been, what, four months since this site got a blog or update from me?

I guess I've been hiding or something, cause not being around is not like me. And I'm going to try and change that. So what am I up to?

Sadly, not much. I've been writing, working on a few projects and trying to get them ready for publishing. I've also been knee deep in work. I work at a local…

I saw you hand in hand, face turned downwards in contemplation, simply being as she reflected you in her face.  I wondered how you smelt, man under shirt veins under skin, earthy scents of movement and a taste of something so new and as old as anything in this beautiful, terrible world.  I wanted to be her,  To match you step for step and turn my face towards your thoughts and listen, luxurious as your hand threaded mine and our footsteps fell in time with the beating of your heart…

Kerrie and a good number of SBL friends from around the world have contributed to this beautiful tribute.

Thought I would share some really good news with everyone. My dad is home from the hospital!!! He is still tired and getting settled in but he is very happy to be home and we are all happy that he is too. They gave him more good news too, he will be having the dialysis 2 times a week instead of the 3 times they were thinking, he will also be getting ready to be put on the peritoneal dialysis, which is one that can be done at home. My dad, mom, sister, and I will be trained on how to do it,…
