Whoa. I need to meet this guy just to hear this whole story.
Zenkitty,
please share with us his story if you can. I'm completely interested in his (and your) saga.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, Zenkitty! I hope you have a great time.
We are in Denver. Time for sleep!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay, Zen! I think WYSIWYG is the way to go.
Lutherans in your AC? That sounds like code.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
women's belly aren't supposed to be flat
Except for those women whose bellies are flat, of course.

I was thinking more, actively flatTENED. Sorry for shorthand on kindle, ita, you're absolutely right.

smonster,
so the new place is pretty good. We have been here 3 weeks and I am still feeling a bit unsettled (boxes still around, though Beau has been a TROOPER at unpacking - something I HATE). I had to leave for four days for a conference in the middle of all of this, but I'm back again and there is so much to do before the term starts.
So, I won't know how I feel about the job until I have an academic year under me. So far so good though. I'm not having to shield my students from racists, yet, so I think this is bonus.
My house has not sold yet, but it is still early. I promised myself I wouldn't obsess until 30 days have passed.

Hec,
that is the cutest pic. Thanks for sharing. I was actually (briefly) in your neck of the woods for my conference on Friday and the cool SF air was welcome given the heat I have experienced since April. I actually had forgotten what 60 degrees felt like.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Those are great pics, Hec. She's so ready to go, you can just feel her reaching for the steering wheel of life.
Le N, I hope the settling-in is smooth, and the year is a good one, harbinger of many more.
