Happy Birthday, mlerules !

The ritual today went off without a hitch (a couple of on the fly changes, but no hitches).  It was wonderful and as usual princekermit   charmed everyone and showed why he's such a phenomenal priest.  And the best part was to have the entire front row filled with smiling familiar faces.  Of course, my beloved dillenger69   was there with our two boys.  We were joined by lightfoote...

After I finished the April Poetry Challenge, I asked for prompts from you, my LJ friends.  I am working on a bunch of them, many of them VERY challenging (thanks heronguy  ...I'm working on it but it's slow in coming).  One of the prompts was to write a haiku for each member of my family and each pet, princekermit   (a mutual friend of the person providing the prompt, Ms. mlerules...

PA Senator Arlen Specter, who recently changed from an (R) to a (D), penned an interesting op ed about the need to relimit presidential power, and restore the balance of power envisioned by our country's founders.

Thanks to both mlerules   and its_crabapple   for the suggestion of some sunlight to tease my Muse back into my body.  I lovely nap in the sunshine was just what I needed, followed by sucking some air in my Zumba class, an ICED latte and quesadilla for dinner.  So here it is, folks, inspired by today. Oh, and the prompt was to write a poem of rebirth.  If this isn't rebirth, I don't...

That...

This weekend started on with very little planned but a long list of options. mlerules   trained up on Tuesday. While waiting for the train, we visited suddenlynaked  , siouxiequeue  , and sidhefire   at the G-Spot. They joined us for dinner at Alligator Soul in Everett after mlerules arrived. Mlerules and wildwoosi   picked me up after work Wednesday and, as...
