    How’s it going Doug, by which I mean are the interactions you have regarding your site all the ones visible here or are there other private connections generated by this?
    Just a thought that you HAVE created this niche of connection, congrats…
    anyway…

    Senior Moments of the week:
    Scratched an itch on my arm and scratched a growing scab right off…
    Went to town and discovered at the end of the day that I’d left the fridge door open a little
    (some possibly odd-smelling cheese and yogurt went to the compost pile)
    I opened the fridge door to get a sprig of parsley and the pot of quinoa hit the floor
    (fortunately just enough caught on top of the lid for the next meal…)
    okay, i forget the last…
    (and there was the time a few months ago when i was dragging the side table over and the bird seed on top fell onto the floor, see pic…)

      It’s bird seed, presumably for the birds, so you swept it up and still used it, right? I’d be tempted to salvage the quinoa, too. The fridge door, though — really not a problem if it’s open a few inches. The motor works a little harder and still keeps everything cool.

      Had a zit on the bridge of my nose several months ago, squeezed it, and it scabbed up, but I’ve been picking at the scab ever since, so there’s still a scab there.

      Sometimes I print incoming emails as comments, usually I don’t. Other than that, what you see is what’s been said. Nothing’s deleted, redacted, or tidied up.

    Muse-less In Paradise No More
    I have a new muse, well for now anyway, until the erotica starts slipping in like an eager cock. We texted a few times last year and she was in my dream: we were making out and our tongues were like these oversized serpents going at it, too much tongue! Recently I lamented that I was muse-less in paradise and the next day asked if she would be my muse. She responded o Darling, I guess, sure…Darling! When a new muse says Darling it’s on! (Well, at least in my heads and dreams and pen.)
    I had already fantasized about her a couple weeks before, twice with an orgasm and then I wore it out. (Actually, last night’s fantasy was fading and getting softer and at the last moments I brought the new muse into it which lit the fuse and brought on the explosion of pleasure.)
    I was very excited to have a new muse, spent an hour writing the first haiku then edited it for another hour on my walk in the park. Ah a muse to amuse as well as amuse me. The next day I didn’t take quite so long and got pretty burned out by the effort, though a haiku is only about ten words.
    She is young and hot with daddy issues and on anti-psychotic medication: purrrrfect…

    sweet muse in my thoughts
    inspiring fresh sensations and
    chocolate covered smiles

    planting words in eyes
    blooming garden embraces
    harvesting warm besos
