if my dreams last night were intense...
oh, it's too, too much tonight. there are so many people i'm missing...one with a fresh diagnosis alone on a trip that matters (and how's her pa?). one with a new baby, 3 weeks old. another with a new baby, almost 17 months old (...). and a sister who's about to meet her own. and more, all wonderful people with rich lives, whose nearness i ( Read more... ) -
the double-edged sword of media use
this morning i tuned in to the huffington post, a media source i enjoy. it's got its news, interesting op/eds, links, and--my dirty little secret--entertainment articles.

in the buff
i've said before that some of my happiest memories have been when i've been naked. and though sex has certainly fit the bill for more than a few of these, there are others better suited for public consumption.
