In a lot of ways, 2021 was pretty awful. Everyone that I know lost someone to Covid. Life as we’ve always known it seems to have been permanently changed.
Continue reading “L is for Looking Back”T is for Top 10
Looking back over the past 6+ years, you’d think that most popular posts would be somewhat evenly spread over the time. Nope.
Continue reading “T is for Top 10”F is for Festive Days
It’s the end of the year and most of us are crazy busy–and sometimes just feeling a little crazy.
Continue reading “F is for Festive Days”B is for Blinded by the Light
“Want to play a game? she asked out of the blue one lazy Saturday morning.
“Video game or board game?”
Continue reading “B is for Blinded by the Light”L is for Life Lessons – Always Changing
It’s bizarre to look back at the time with This Thing We Do (TTWD). It’s been a handful of years now (my own 7r Twitter-versary came up) and I was going back through our posts and journals to each other. But also, it’s been about changing as we go forward.
Continue reading “L is for Life Lessons – Always Changing”S is for Secrets
Why do secrets draw us in so much? There’s this sense that we don’t know a person unless we know their secrets.
Continue reading “S is for Secrets”H is for Haunted House
“Wouldn’t that be a fun place to stay?” I shove the laptop in his lap with the picture of a castle that can be rented.
Continue reading “H is for Haunted House”B is for Biting
He handed her the glass of wine and sat next to her on the couch. The fire was burning bright and music was playing. A nice quiet date night.
Continue reading “B is for Biting”F is for Favorite City
What is my favorite city? There are so many places that I love. I started thinking about NYC and London where we’ve seen such amazing theatre.
Continue reading “F is for Favorite City”E is for Epiphany
I had absolutely no idea what to write about epiphany, so, being Charmer, I went looking for a quote and found this:
Continue reading “E is for Epiphany”“I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe.”
Donna Tartt
C is for Change
There is nothing so stable as change.
Bob Dylan
Isn’t that the truth?
Continue reading “C is for Change”C is for Chef
“I could do better than that,” he said as a contestant was being ridiculed by a chef for their raw chicken on the show they were watching.
Continue reading “C is for Chef”R is for Regret
I have a lot of regrets. Didn’t expect that from Charmer, did you?
Continue reading “R is for Regret”R is for Real World
I have no idea what the real world is. Yes, we all have to deal with jobs and traffic and taxes and such, but I don’t know if that is really what the real world is about.
Continue reading “R is for Real World”B is for Breakdown
He was supposed to be there before dark. She had made reservations at the inn and they were going to have dinner at the restaurant next door.
Continue reading “B is for Breakdown”M is for Movie (Theatre)
It was date night and he had chosen a movie. She always loved going to the movies, especially the new theatre that had booze and unlimited popcorn with recliners.
Continue reading “M is for Movie (Theatre)”S is for Steeled Snake
Our blog is almost exactly 6 1/2 years old. It’s been a journey of D/s and photography with a lot of laughter and games thrown in the mix.
Continue reading “S is for Steeled Snake”A is for Ambition
I don’t do “ambition” well. Somewhere in my brain, ambition got connected with being obsessed with money and careers. Yes, I know, those aren’t the only options, but it is what it is.
Continue reading “A is for Ambition”100 Edges, 12ish hours.
Charmer likes to push boundaries, heck, we both do. I think little nudges in new directions tend to add up to big nudges that introduce new ideas, new things to think about, new experiences.
We’ve added Boot Camp weekends to the mix of late – we do them when it strikes Charmer’s fancy, no real schedule- but it has lately been running Friday-Monday on choice weekends.
Continue reading “100 Edges, 12ish hours.”D is for Diary
June 16
Why do I even keep writing in this thing? Nothing really different happens to me each day. Work, home, maybe a little socializing with friends and some family stuff.
I’ll give it one more month. Then I’m going to spend the time watching re-runs. It wouldn’t be any different.
Continue reading “D is for Diary”B is for Belongings
We have a lot of stuff. Slowly the last few years we’ve been cleaning out, but there is still too much.
Continue reading “B is for Belongings”S is for Silence
I crave silence in life. I was always the kid who had to have quiet to study. If I’m reading, I don’t want music in the background. When I work or write, I rarely am listening to anything.
Continue reading “S is for Silence”W is for Wilderness
Growing up in Colorado, wilderness was never that far away. We could go to the mountains and be away from people and civilization pretty easily. After we moved to Tucson, there still is a certain amount of that with the surrounding mountain ranges.
Continue reading “W is for Wilderness”B is for Bluetooth
You always listen to music or audiobooks while you are in the shower. This morning, I decide to take advantage of the fact that your volume is turned up and play with you a bit.
Continue reading “B is for Bluetooth”T is for Tentacles
Not porn. Not my thing and I don’t have any idea what I would write about it.
