questions & connections

sherry wrote early this morning and said 'please let me be the 1st to congratulate you on last night's discussion.'

sherry was the 1st. all the other e-mails were, 'where is the post?'

we had to wait for maria's kids to be down for the night (and we were happy to wait) before we could talk.

the e-mails today, sherry wasn't the only 1, she was just the 1st. i am sorry that it posted late but there was a reason for that and those things will happen.

i enjoyed lance's e-mail. he said he was probably 'slow' and that he was sorry for that but he was finally getting the point about 'war got your tongue.'

lance: it is embarrassing & shameful that some would whether talk about nonsense in a superficial way than talk about something that really matters. and when we're a nation at war it is useless. hearing martha hit that point, i got the editorial.

no reason to apologize lance. sometimes things do come to us slowly.

it's cool.

the important thing is that we make the connections.

if you don't make those connections, then maybe you aren't thinking?

lance was thinking. he figured it out.

that makes him much smarter. and if he decided to do his own blog, you can rest assured he wouldn't be pouring over bad entertainment coverage and then rushing to pull quote it at his site. over and over. repeatedly.

1 thing lance got right away was that it was wrong to demand a correction from kat.

so there's another way lance is ahead.

lance says he's been toying with the idea of doing a blog for about a year now.

lance: if i did, i sure wouldn't think i could stamp my feet for a correction just because comments ended up more interesting than my dull writing.

so lance is obvious smarter than some people.

give it up for lance.

lance asked if was writing later now because i'm doing 'fun or sexy stuff with fly boy?'

we do go out on fridays. he's here during the weekend.

that's enough of each other for right now.

the home i live in wasn't our primary residence. this was our get away place. and when we split up, fly boy asked what we should do. should we split up the 2? sell them both and split the money? i told him i was fine with this 1 if he was fine with our place in the city. i like the ocean. i find this place very peaceful. so that's what we did.

the reason for the later posts is that i am trying to rally everyone i know to get behind stopping alito's nomination.

oops. my readers know who alito is but in case anyone's been stuffing their mind with the cheese at some sites, let's note that he's up for the supreme court. he is not a friend to women. whether it's finding, in the minority opinion, that a young girl can be strip searched because the police suspected a man that she and her mother were with or whether it's belonging to an alumni organization that stands against admitting women to college and ruining the homogenous nature of the old boy's club.

so i've been having women, friends and friends of friends, over most evenings to discuss this and to talk about how we need to stand against alito and any further erosion of reproductive rights.

fly boy is in the picture, he is not the focus of my life. nor am i the focus of his. if we take this any further or continue it, the reason will be because we're both being ourselves. in our marriage we really weren't that. we were like kids playing at what marriage is thought to be.
who gives us those 'instructions'?

pop culture. which is why it's so important that if you 'cover' it, you seriously address it. so few grasp that.

thanks to sherry and lance but to every 1 who wrote. i may note belinda's comments tomorrow but i'm thinking about the dishes and pots and pans that need to be washed and put away and thinking that's got to be taken care of.
