There were sil and Baz, their foreheads pressed together. Baz looked deep into his daddy's eyes, and then, without breaking eye contact, extended his anteater-like tongue and licked sil on his nose.

I was cuddling with Baz before bed last night (which is to say, right before I fell asleep with him), and explaining that humans don't usually sleep well when it's light out. He said, "But nocturnal animals, like daddy, can sleep when it's light ( Read more... )

So this morning, I had a spontaneous psuedonymity conversation with +Baz [mykid]. He asked why I have this account and one under my legal name.
