Beej's New Fella sounds a lovely boy.

So very the case. Plus...as emotionally courageous as me, a never before before experienced joy. Plus...sweet, thoughtful and alarmingly smart.

I'm making a more elaborate dinner. Any suggestions for side dishes to go with shrimp scampi? For dessert, a 70% chocolate cake.

His part is unknown. I'm just thrilled to be happy.

I should be home after 9, 9:30, Allyson. That is barring headache issues.

Valentine's day is the day that your whole college dorm (if you're at a women's college) goes out and rents porn and watches it in the common room while eating bonbons.

Commentary and attempted shockingness a must; but we also realized that "feminist" porn of the early 90s was not worth the celluloid it was printed on.

I've had an SO on VDay exactly once.

Add a salad and some good bread, and you are so the winner.
