My friends list has been getting longer as I find new journals I want to read. Today I decided to remove a few from my list that I was not interacting with and not reading. I mention it here, because I know how unpleasant it can feel to be dropped rudely or without explanation. Please don't take it personally because it isn't. I'm just trying to make my time involvement with LJ manageable. Please feel free to drop me or continue reading, as you wish.

I also re-added one person who is interesting but who I dropped some weeks ago for a wrong reason.

Well, thanks for adding me. I added you back, mainly because I enjoy your photos, and I think you're cute.

I added you because I'm interested in the radical faeries and because your journal is interesting in other ways. We are both connected spiritually with nature, in different ways perhaps, but that is part of the richness of community.

I have probably seen you in Bill's pictures from Amber Fox, but I don't know which man is you.

Well, thanks for your interest! I'm sorry if what I wrote sounded flip. It's been a very trying day (at the fag-end of a very trying week), and just putting one paw before another is proving difficult, what to speak of that endless Duchess's bugaboo, the English language.

Bill took some lovely photos of me with my friend Claude. He's the bearded hottie; I'm the geek.

Bill mentioned that you might come out to visit the Farm in October. Would be lovely to have you join us then.

I didn't take it as flip. I should say thank you for the compliments.

Those photos are beautiful. You radiate more warmth than geekishness.

Amber Fox for Thanksgiving is my hope and plan. There is a slight chance I won't be able to make it, but chances are more on the positive side. I look forward to meeting you in person.

You're such a sweetie. It would be a treat to meet you. I hope you don't mind putting up with all our veggie meals! Bill and I have had a lot of fun together in the Amber Fox kitchen this past Summer (I've been a fulltime vegetarian since 1981).

Are you seeing your girls this weekend? have a good one, whatever you wind up doing...

Oh yeah, that part! It will be an adventure for me. I have occasionally tried some vegetarian recipes, but mostly I am a meatoholic. What are the symptoms of withdrawal? I'm sure I'll be fine. I can stop eating meat anytime I want to. ;-)

My daughters live in Lindsay, which is three hours from here, so I don't see them much through the school year. Thanksgiving and Christmas get alternated. This year their mother has them for Thanksgiving weekend and I have them for Christmas Day. Our next visit will depend on when they have a P.D. day long weekend, which I don't know yet.

Tonight the local gay and lesbian choir, which I sing in, is having its monthly fundraising dance. We haven't had one since May, so I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my friends. It's a nice crowd, mostly 30s and up, equal parts men and women, and Guelph/KitWloo GLBTs are kinda granola.

Tomorrow is the choir's annual general meeting. Politics politics. Outgoing board chair, highly competent, hopefully to be replaced by someone nearly as good.
