(Untitled)
It's been a long time since I posted anything here and it seems like the only time I do, it's bad news. I just learned today that Karesia (Kim Waldstreicher) passed away in late January. I know many of you knew her well from the Hercules/Xena fandom, and from the many lists that those fandoms spawned. She was a co-founder with me of the Altar of ( Read more... ) -
I went to mass this morning for Ro
I don't usually drive downtown to the Cathedral down there for mass, but it just felt right this morning. It's a beautiful, imposing place and I needed all the grandeur of those massive stone pillars and towering stained glass windows today. John and I were married there in a huge spectacle of a wedding, but I rarely go to mass there more than a ( Read more... ) -
No! Not Ro too!
Oh will it never end? I've been away, my friends. Dealing with the losses of several of my family members, just too filled with sadness and unable to post or participate in your lives.

For a while, I tried to avoid triggering the emotions again, but just like in the old saying, the initial ( Read more... ) -
My mom
My mom's going on her final journey very soon and I'm preparing to carry out her final wishes. For the last several years, she's suffered from dementia, brought on by a series of small strokes which robbed her of her memory, but not her spirit. She's lived in a nursing home in my home town, the place where she lived her entire life, surrounded by ( Read more... ) -
Hmmm....a little Freudian?
Had a dream last night that I was a plummer. Was trying to fix a leaky pipe in some dark, dingy basement. Just as I got one plugged up, another pipe sprung a leak, then another, and another, until the basement was under water and I was swimming for my life, but all I could do was furiously tread water just fast enough to keep from going under ( Read more... ) -
