A Reminder: How I Want to Love
“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.” - Tom RobbinsBlog Stats

A Blessed Lupercalia to You!
Lupercalia, the Roman festival of fertility and welcoming spring. Somehow this sounds like so much more fun than V-Day, which kind of pisses me off. I feel like I have to recognize that it’s a Day of some note because … Continue reading

and he will proudly remove the peel in one piece. I feel the sudden urge for a ‘shout out’ to my girls at Cramot!
