“Yoo Hoo!” “Yoo Hoo!” I roll my pillow over my head, hoping, perhaps, to smother myself. “Yoo Hoo!” “Yoo Hoo!” “Yoo Hoo!” It then occurs to me, at 4:54 AM, that perhaps I am not the one to be smothered, and that no jury on earth could convict me. “Yoo Hoo!” It had started in…
30 Days? Kid stuff. Six weeks. So- after surgery, a few things were determined: I have to stay off this foot until it heals. I will need six weeks of IV therapy. IV therapy at home is hell even with help. Living alone means I cannot stay off the foot. My insurance will not let…

I’m about to check back into the hospital, so I wanted to mention some things… I am not going to be around, in all realistic estimation, for the TES Elections, nor the transition BoD meeting. I will, however, be reachable by cell phone and wish to stay in touch for these events. If at all…
I have a few things I’d like to say, but I don’t want to get lost in the staggering pile of posts in some of these forums. These things are all pretty simple and straightforward, and posting them here, although they may not reach as many people, should be able to stand alone- at least…
Sunday I check back into the goddamn hospital. Again. I just got back from the podiatrist. The cast did nothing good for me, and may even have made things worse. Cast is off, and I return to the arms of Methodist Hospital, this time for one to two weeks and one or more surgeries. Those…
You had your chance. Lots of people are concerned about 007’s candidacy. Lots of people are very upset, some even threatening to leave TES if he is elected. None of these people spoke up at Meet the Candidates, when it would have been appropriate. All I can conjecture is that it was not so vital…
Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jimsuddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out. When…
Back from The Fest. Wow. It’s still going on as I write this, which means that there is always a chance for something to go awry, but I think it should be OK. I have a great staff, well briefed, and Ken, Tatsumi and Kimiko overseeing how it all goes down. Even if something does…
I have some of the most amazing friends on the face of the fucking earth. If anybody knew how much support and strength these charming sociopaths actually have to offer, they’d be as poleaxed as I often am. I’ve had people coming into my apartment to take care of my cat for two weeks, servants…
A volunteer and I need to get to The Fest, but we are going to be unable to meet the 1:00 Friday afternoon bus. I’m out of the loop- are there other buses planned? If not, does anyone have room for two heading in Friday evening after work hours? We can meet up in Manhattan……
Back from the hospital, with some alterations…. So two weeks ago I noticed some signs of infection in my right foot. This is the sort of thing I am supposed to be vigilant about, so I immediately got to the doctor, who bounced me to the hospital. Last time this had happened, I got antibiotic…
After all the drama of Saturday, Monday was a welcome change. After dialysis I made my way into the city and spent the day in Central Park in good company- some of my favorite people were there; and I met a couple of new ones, some of who I really took to.Most of all, it…
from a leading BDSM activist: “What I don’t get is why people who also claim they have their slaves’ best interests at heart, get so riled up about SSC.”I do not get riled up by SSC. I get riled up byleading statements like this: “Or… well, all you have to do is read the NCSF Media…
