when rolly met mary

November 28, 2007

So who’s Mary?
She’s the friend who (after I told her, in April 2006, that as I walked through Penn Station I looked at men wondering which ones were 60) informed me that I was cruising:

When I was dating Rolly — even that phrase makes the relationship (and ‘relationship’ isn’t the right word either, because whatever it [...]

…as soon as I have a chance to write a post;  with luck, tonight or tomorrow.

Performer carves our turkey (6:50 pm Thursday 22 November 2007)

November 24, 2007

the bird arranged beautifully and ready to be carried to the table

* * * 2 turkeys, 6 pies, 2 lovers, 2 innocent children, 2 knowing children, & a new mattress for an ex-wife

November 21, 2007

Yes, that’s right: there are going to be two Thanksgiving dinners for Performer,  because my older child, A, objected to the ruse of telling his children I was ‘just a friend.’
 Performer wanted to avoid having 2 Thanksgiving dinners, but he’s going to have them anyway.  Eating is one of his favorite activities, but…..  We’ll see [...]

married by the mattress salesman, the sex-bloggers’ brunch, and other vignettes from the weekend

November 18, 2007

married by the mattress salesman
So at long last Performer and I went to buy that mattress, a new one for his New York apartment, which is filled with the ghosts of all the women he has been to bed with for the past 40 years.
 The mattress wasn’t that old, of course, but it wasn’t super new and [...]

Sugasm #103 — at long last, with apologies for my tardiness

November 18, 2007

Thanks to sex-bloggers Vivian and Chris for showing me how to post this Sugasm with all the links.   It’s about two weeks late.   Good reading for all who want to get away from family values this week, or rather, for those who want to redefine ‘family.’

dating & thanksgiving: the story continues; with update

November 12, 2007

I saw Performer last night but was too exhausted to broach this issue, and we both had much to do early in the morning.
However, tonight, when we talk on the phone, I’m going to say that I’d like him to tell the children the truth before they all come over on Thanksgiving, or to come [...]

my friend, my boyfriend, my doctor, and thanksgiving: the dilemma continues

November 11, 2007

Okay, a new one: I’m going to share this post with my good friend and former college roommate Marion (remember, I’m 60; and she’s 60; so college was a very long time ago), who has agreed to an ‘exchange’ about the issue described in the last post and debated in the comments.
So [...]

dating + thanksgiving + families = oy

November 4, 2007

Well, there’s this little thing I haven’t mentioned yet.
Not so little.
Performer and Becky (his almost-ex) have not yet told their children they’re in the midst of a divorce….
* * *
Yeah, take that in!

They became parents late in [...]

sexagenarian halloween

November 1, 2007

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that a pope costume is not ideal for dancing.
At least, not swing-dancing and generic social dancing.
How on earth do the popes manage??
You have to hand it to them.

And the mitre!! It was made for someone with a head twice as [...]
