Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned Kade around here for a long time. Not since October 21st, to be precise, and before that it was August 12th.
The relationship ended, as far as I was concerned, sometime mid-September, but I’ve been avoiding dealing with it since then because I hate giving people [...]

Aiden drove me to the airport on Wednesday night so that I could catch my flight out to Vancouver. I had booked the trip in August, as I didn’t have a chance to see my siblings over the summer holidays, and I’ve missed them a great deal. It was also a great opportunity to hang [...]

It’s often easy to become frustrated with the world we live in. Global warming, Wal-Mart, and politics aside, there is the fact that the ‘lifestyle’ I chose to live is mostly unheard of, and probably light years away from social acceptance.
I’ve had this stuck in my craw for days, so I figured I might as well [...]

Has it really been a week since my last post? I suppose it has. The time has flown by, as is to be expected during days away from home.
We reached Edmonton late last Wednesday evening. The kids and the dogs were troopers during our trek across America. We drove through three new states, which bring my [...]

You’d think that a long drive across America would be the perfect opportunity to get some writing done, but for reasons unknown, the ideas I’ve been mulling over just don’t want to gel into anything useful.
While I ended up having to cancel my date with Kade on Saturday night, I did get to spend almost [...]

I had hoped to spend today writing about the mischief that Aiden and I got up to on Friday night. Or perhaps about the date with Kade I was supposed to have last night. Unfortunately, instead we are scrambling to prepare for a long drive out to Alberta. We received word yesterday that Jack’s aunt, to whom [...]

After my date with Aiden last week, it occurred to me that Kade and I hadn’t yet set down any sort of parameters in our relationship regarding this sort of situation. I’d always had the distinct impression that Kade wasn’t all that interested in my dating habits. He’s never asked me if I was seeing anyone [...]

I’m still recovering from the four days I spent at Tease last week. I’m generally not prone to sub-drop, but I certainly have Tease-drop. On the way home from camp I felt emotional and weepy. Since then the adjustment to ‘regular life’ has been slow. Last night I went to a local kink munch and [...]

On Tuesday evening I drove down to Kade’s for the first date we’ve had in a month. I’ve missed him very much, and we were both looking forward to spending some time together. As Wednesday was Canada Day, and Jack didn’t have to work, I had the luxury of staying at Kade’s overnight, which I [...]

This week could bring another of those life-altering changes that seem to occur with unusual regularity around here. The tides of change seem to wash away all of the plans we’ve foolishly bothered to draw in the sand.
Jack has a second interview for a new job. A job that would have us move back from [...]

You may not believe this, but sometimes I spread myself too thin. This month has been no exception, as I’ve overloaded myself with projects, and then tossed a new dog on top. Yes, I really did expect it all to go smoothly, but as life is wont to do, it turned all of the clocks onto fast-forward and [...]

Lack of blog is generally an indication that I’m going through a phase of being to self-involved to bother writing much. The past few weeks are no exception. I’ve been falling desperately in love with a certain young greyhound, and quite deeply into like with a certain young virgin.
The hound will be coming home this [...]

My recent date with Kade (The Virgin) went exceptionally well. We met for breakfast in his neighbourhood, and although I could tell that he was nervous, we hit it off immediately. He looks less like K in person, to my great relief. We had coffee and bagels before driving to a nearby mall to do [...]

After my last post about The Virgin I consulted a close authority on the subject of anxiety, Nia. She makes a good argument for each side, and I really appreciated her feedback and insights.
On one hand the boy clearly needs someone with patience and experience. Someone who can understand and appreciate the difficulties that anxiety [...]
