Go green. :-)

I’m a big fan of flames, myself. Dust to dust takes on more meaning when you can actually run the gritty remains through your fingers!

Yes, patience, grasshopper. Lol. I’ve never been one to try to move slowly. Lol. Patience.

By the way, you may have inspired me.

I once had a year-long extracurricular affair with a man who liked to say, “And besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the theater?”

I have alluded to, but never directly mentioned the fact, that none of my serious relationships have been sexually monogamous.

The night I first went to Hell, Lenny knew where I would be.

I should think about how I’m both an advocate for same-sex marriage and a proponent of non-traditional relationships.

The two ideas actually do mix!

I wonder how I could riff on Annabelle Lee, one of my favorite of all works of poetry in English.

And yes, I know Monette well!

Tomorrow morning’s piece is simple and evocative. I hope.

Maybe I’ll try for something more ambitious for the afternoon.

We shall see!

Thanks. :-)

Jim
