This was posted on Vox a day or two ago, but still ... looks like I'm double-posting.
Hi, everyone. The apparent death (though the coroner hasn't visited yet) of Efx2 has kept me hopping over this past week. Once again, Vox and Blogspot are the places to post, and I am trying to learn the features of each in my spare time ... which has been in short supply.
Project No. 1 this week has been backing up my Efx2 posts. I usually do that in the office, but I logged out of there last time, so I can't log back on now. But I am still logged in here at home, so it's been a fun time of copying posts and pasting them into a diary program I have. I am back to June 2006 now, so I only have about six months to go.
I also wanted to write about my experiences at the neopagan festival in Wisconsin, and that took some time, too.
This weekend, we had one of the major summer local events here, so I was busy covering that. I was at a youth boxing show on Friday night, an ethnic softball game Saturday night and a 10K run Sunday morning. I enjoyed the boxing the most. They have had that going on for the last three years, but this was the first time I managed to see it, and it was a blast.
This time, another summer event, this time in my town. It's the local Prohibition-themed event that started last year, and I will be getting pictures of a stage show (local talent) and the inevitable parade. It should be fun. I wrote something about it last year--maybe I'll repeat some of it here, now that the Efx2 ship has foundered and sank with all hands aboard.
Then, on Sunday, something brand new for me. I am going down to visit S and her husband ... and the three of us are going to a clothes-optional beach (really, a former farm with a nice pond on it). I contacted the guy last year, he wrote back last month (problems with the people in charge, he explained, but it's OK now). S and her husband, who already go there, are eager to go there with me. Sounds good to me. I'm just going down there for the day, driving back in the evening.
My wife hasn't made an official decision, but she will probably stay home. Doesn't matter that "clothes-optional" means you can stay dressed if you want--nobody's forcing you. I asked her about it, and she couldn't give me an answer. I had to suggest "Are you uncomfortable about it?" and she said yes. I asked her why she feels that way, and she couldn't verbalize a reason. This is not at all unusual. Sometimes, she can be very frustrating.
I have some new photos of Charlie to post, too. Charlie has playing a lot in the living room, and I want to show you some of her "exotic" kitty playthings. Give me a couple days.
Well written article.
