Sometime way back in the last century, in those mythical days known as The Seventies, my family and I were on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, and we bought one of those invisible dogs, and I walked it down the boardwalk. The starts of surprise were wonderful. A couple of people stared real hard, trying to make sure, and they jumped when I moved the "dog" towards them.

Good times.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just called my mom to wish her happy birthday (it's her 70th today!), and she was busy hanging flowers with some of her fellow garden club members. However, she told me she wants to call me back both to talk about her b-day and to tell me some "really good news."

Way to keep me hanging, Mom!! I'm hoping it'll be good health news (one of her brothers has had a recurrence of prostate cancer that might have spread into his bones).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like this picture: [link]

Apparently non-invisible dogs don't like invisible dogs....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seriously.

An article about gay kids in middle school: [link] I have to say, adults are nuts if they think most kids aren't exploring their sexuality in middle school -- kids in my class started "going out" in 5th grade, even though many of those "couples" never actually spent any time together, much less fooled around.

Yeah, I remember that. Although I had no interest in "going out" with girls until I was in 10th grade....

Definitely not everyone did, but it was in the air for sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have at least one gay friend who says he knew from kindergarten. He just didn't want to pull any girl's ponytails.
