Joe, that is one beautiful little dude you have there!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Joe! Long time no post! And congrats on the absolutely adorable kid!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And, oh, before it closes:
Hi! I'm Liese. I was part of the Fool For Love delurk in 4 back on TT. I started the 5x5 thread, back when anybody could, and in doing so made a punctuation gaffe by putting the period after "porn" outside of the quotation marks, British style. This error traumatized me for all subsequent life and to this day I try to avoid ending a sentence with a quote. I also used to use a thesaurus before every post because I wanted you all to like me and think I was smart. I'm much lazier now, and I'm sure your opinion of my intellect has suffered greatly because of this.
I'm a stompy so at one point believed I should read every message ever posted on our boards. Hah. Haha. But I'm still pretty prolific these days. You can definitely find me in Write, Tech, Non-Fic TV, & Boxed Set, as well as Natter and periodically Bitches.
I live in the high desert in the American southwest where I did in fact leave it all to bring rock & roll to the needy. We used to be programmers back in the midwest but now my SO & I run our own non-profit which is primarily a traveling music school that works on the Navajo & Apache reservations. We're in our eighth year of it now. It is awesome and heartbreaking and we feel very lucky to be able to do it.
I'm married to a totally awesome guy who loves music and hockey, no kids, one very charismatic dog named after a horse. We just built the house of our dreams, an endeavor which swallowed up the good part of a couple of years and a whole lotta house-loves-carrots posts.
Oh, yeah, and I'm a Christian with anarchist leanings, which puts me as an outlier on the political spectrum here, ostensibly an independent, most notably visible when I voted for Nader in the Bush/Kerry election in a swing state. Oops. I voted for your guy this time, though.
I discovered on this board that I'm a subtaster, so I love all the extreme flavors mentioned. In addition, I also eat dry seaweed and raw fish and a lot of rice, plus kahlua pig and portugeuse sausage and poi, all of which may lend a clue to the last demographic piece, which is that I'm Japanese-American via Hawaii and damn proud of it.
I had the best intentions of making this short, but am apparently a tad egomaniacal to boot.
I cannot say enough how truly enriched my life has been through knowing and talking to this fantastic group of women and men all over the globe. You are a phenomenal bunch of people and I am a better (and much more well-informed) person for having known you. So thanks!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Joe, congratulations - your little guy is one beautiful baby!

Awww, Baby Boucher! He's a handsome fella.

Joe! Congratulations the baby. That quite a birth name, and his adopted name is pretty cool too!
