Leaving On a Jet Plane

I’m going to China Monday.

Ellie Gets Older

Yesterday was Ellie’s birthday. The whole family went to her favourite restaurant for lunch. It was great. Even though we all live about 45 minutes apart we are rarely all in the same room together. Holy days and birthdays seem to be it. Everybody is so busy these days. When we were children it took a Machiavellian plan to get any privacy away from everybody. Now it takes days of planning just to get everybody together.

How to Marry Me

You have to be a man. I like men despite rumours to the contrary, some of which I may have started. I am the first to admit that women are better at certain things than men. I’ve no wish to be too graphic but most of them involve soft moist tongues on dripping wet labia. Bless men for trying, but women do it better. But I prefer boy parts to girl parts overall. Rubbing your vulva against mine does nothing for me. But if you have a penis then I can probably think of a few things to do with it.

Indecent Proposal

I leave for China in 2 weeks. Hopefully by then something will get resolved somehow. Otherwise I’ll have to go to a Buddhist temple and toss those red wooden rock things. Buddha always has good advice.

No Parking

She climbed into her car angrily and slammed the door shut. She made a big show of driving away, screeching tyres and just generally behaving like an idiot. The older man thanked me and wanted to park his car in the space. I told him he could not park there either and that if he felt he needed to park in such spaces he should apply for the appropriate placard. Since he clearly had enough energy to stand around and argue with people over parking spaces I opined that he could probably walk to the shops. He was not all that old and seemed able as far as I could tell.
