I can't believe I'm just posting this. It is the same thing I posted on FB, but these two worlds don't always over lap. I just can't seem to get used to this.

I am Uta Lady of the Mists,

To everyone who has so kindly offered Ajax and I their best wishes,

So many that I am undone by the out pouring, some of you are old friends and some new and others ( Read more... )

I’ve got a new job, working for a startup. We are contracting some production out to a software lab in SF who shall remain nameless. It’s a super cool open space filled with 95% men between the ages of 19 and 35 who write code and solve problems for a living. There are long tables covered with computers where teams work and talk. Breakfast is ( Read more... )

Dear Peter,

Last night I finished watching the Lord of the Rings extend version in a theater. This took place over three weeks, one movie every Tuesday evening. It was a wonderful experience.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I would suppose that a more dedicated fan base would be hard to find. Still when we realized that at the viewing of ( Read more... )

Ok, it has taken me a long time to make this post due to my deep sense of loss, but it think it is time that everyone knows the tale in full.

So in late May, I was searching the internet for links to good posts for my new place of employment when I stumbled a cross an article about a reliquary being auctioned off by a privet owner in Ireland. Now I ( Read more... )

So yesterday I had a 7pm to 8:30 pm Yoga class. Towards the end of which the tiny yoga elf who taught us had us all do a shoulder stand.  Looking up my own body I found that my boobs had fallen down on either side of my head leaving me a clear view of my gut, which now formed a huge single boob right above me.

It was awful. I often feel out of ( Read more... )

So I get this note or ping, or wall scribble or whatever in my email account through Face Book from a guy who was a friend in Junior High. I’ve always liked him and I was glad to hear his life is going well. He gave me just a quick rundown of the last 20 years and asked why it took me so long to “friend” him. This is my response.

Ben,

Please don’t ( Read more... )

So, I ‘m standing in the shower letting the hot water wash away the last fuzzy residue left by the Dark and Stormies from last night , being sincerely grateful that Christine and Eric let me spend Thursday evenings at their home every week, when my cell phone rings.

As I said I’m in the shower and its 7am, so there is a bit of a scramble to reach ( Read more... )

I’ve been seeing this guy for two and a half months, there was a 4 week time lag between our first and our next date due to a business trip and a stolen piece of luggage.  Our overall average between communications was about two weeks, all this being said, I really like him, there is good chemistry and he is attractive, smart and funny. We kept it ( Read more... )

So, I’m back on the dating horse. She’s an ornery bitch but I think I can take her, or at least enjoy the ride. Anybody who has every read any of my dating screeds will have surmised that I am not into younger men. I dipped my toe in that cold shallow pool and decided it’s not for me, some time ago. I even posted on my dating site a carefully ( Read more... )
