Popping my head up to say hello

Hi readers!  What have YOU been up to?  ME, you ask?  SO much work.  But aside from work, untold excitement, including the following highlights:

  • My partner and I have begin milking goats as part of this urban farm/community service thing, which makes us officially the gayest people IN THE WORLD.
  • We got to celebrate my parents' 40th anniversary with them.  FORTIETH!  As in, 40 years.  Whoa. It was pretty rad.  Fact: The older I get, the more I love my parents.
  • According to Facebook, literally everyone I know between the ages of 23 and 39 is having a baby. Literally everyone.   So if I know you and you don't have a baby yet and you think you aren't having one, think again.  I bet you are.  (Full disclosure: my partner and I have no baby plans.  I think it's because she's not on Facebook.)
  • I finished Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White, which was the most interesting and best-written book I've read (well, "read"--I listened on Audible and it was the second-longest book I've ever listened to, right after David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest).
  • Which reminds me!  I made a new page on the Butch Store for LGBTQ books!  Just butch-relevant stuff, though eventually I'd like to have a page full of fiction and non-fiction recs.  But this is a good place to start.  Explore!  Enjoy!  Let me know what you think!
  • I was briefly obsessed with "Broadchurch," which is a British crime show in which small-town characters are tortured by various things in their pasts against breathtaking oceanside backdrops.
  • Attended a wedding reception for two men in their 60s who were closeted for over 20 years.  


What have you been up to, dear readers?  I wonder if this means I'm back.  I think it might.

too old to have kids thank god as my wife has 4 count them 4 boys. all adults and live in another state. plus she would like to have more but again too old. other than that not much else as reading makes me too tired and not fond of listening to books unless on a long drive. and don't do much of that since also usually too tired to do that too. CFS & Fibro can and do do that to a person. so i spend way too much time on facebook.

Just been trying to catch up on some projects .
I built a 7 ftx 2 ft x 2 ft dehydrator
Now I can dry a ton of stuff all at once 😏

I have been watching Orange is the new black on Netflix.

Had my one kid 9 years ago at age 42. Butch pregnancies are such brain-benders. Especially when you are married to the father. No more babies for me! I did have a girl, which is AWESOME. Well, until she becomes a bratty teenager. But for now she's learning how to be a strong female from her butch queer mama. Got me a girlfriend (I'm poly queer butch bisexual) who is also gloriously butch (we have the BEST bromance ever going on) and, without knowing it beforehand, she and I have the same car in the same color. So freaking GAY, especially when we park them side by side. Awesome about the goats! I have sheep, which is also farmer grrl gay, along with my deeply tanned neck and scalp from being out in the sun working the land and repairing fenceline in my buzz cut and forgetting to wear my hat.

You had me at goat, Ha! Somehow, I did not think you were the "goat type". Have to ask, have you read "Hit by a farm" by Catherine Friend?
I've been up to no good. I took a HUGE leap last year and have unfortunately crashed and burned. Very thankful to have at least landed in a beautiful area. Now...Im starting over and trying to get my business started. Glad you're home!

Ah, I bet you thought I wasn't the goat type because I am not the camping type! (See, e.g., http://www.butchwonders.com/blog/butch-in-the-woods)
