…pick up yesterday’s book, it IS that awesome.
And now on to other things: Fifi is on day two, and so far it’s awesome. She’s from the corporate world, so she’s still a little bit in shock that a business like Elliott’s can be competently run with such a small (and laid back) staff. It [...]
The other day, I watched a highly entertaining guest on Stephen Colbert’s show, Neuroscientist David Eagleman. You can watch the bit here. Intrigued, I ended up reading a bit more about him (there is a fascinating piece The New Yorker did on some of his current research), I ordered both his fictional anthology “Sum: Forty [...]
I have a news flash for the BDSM community, when it comes to abusive relationships: we’re not that unique.

Most of my free time in the summer ends up being spent on a boat, so it was a nice change of pace to spend a low-key weekend in Seattle with Elliott, visiting our best friends. I always say that a day away on the boat feels like two, but I also think a night [...]
Sometimes I think the worst thing that can happen to a relationship is to work together. Playing together is great, working together not so much. Especially when you’re self-employed.
A few years ago, Elliott had an awesome office manager/personal assistant, Fifi. (I am not making up the name – she went by Fifi, although she [...]

For someone who hasn’t posted any blog entries in ages, the post title might surprise you. My blog has been dead for quite awhile. The last thing I was inspired even enough for a short blog entry was all the way back in December of 2010.
I used to “blog” practically daily. I didn’t call [...]
