My world, welcome to it!


LIFE'S TOO SHORT. You could go out tomorrow and get hit by a bus, for God's sake!. And would you want your last thought to be an angry one? Your last impression to be a malicious one? Love each other. Love yourselves. Be kind. Today is a gift; that's why they call it the present.
So many people to thank, so many people to congratulate, so many people to mock. And not necessarily in that order. Of course, my mother did say, if you can't say anything nice, come sit next to me...or was it don't put it in your mouth if you don't know where it's been? Whatever....But relax--if you don't see your name here, it doesn't mean I don't love you...oh, wait, yeah it does. 

JASON & WHITNEY Someday we’ll get you both back in a ballroom!

Some people like cats instead of dogs.
Frankly, I’d rather live with a lesbian than a cat.
Unless a lesbian sheds; that I don’t like.” — Sophia

Thirty years and we’re just getting started!


"Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant"

HUGS:  Mick, Len, Eggsy, Harry, Dean, Cas, Harvey, Mike, Steve, Danny, Neal, Peter, Sherlock, John, Ianto, Jack, Blair, Jim, Giles, Spike, Lex, Clark, Fox, Walter....

KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch, trick coffee or TV night. Thanks, you make me feel special; Online friends and fans, you are my support system and I couldn't do any of it without you--I really am that internet success story; all out of town guests who make Regina more beautiful by virtue of their presence and home town folks who do the same; God Bless you all....


There's more and more after that, and I'd probably go on and on if I wasn't so old and tired.  And really not as in love with the sound of my own voice as you might think. But seriously, if I missed ya, I'm sure it wasn't intentional, (pretty sure...) and if you message me on Facebook I can probably add you!

Oh, and don't forget:

In my world, the coffee is strong as death, black as hell and sweet as love (and always made by Ianto Jones). The smoking section is always open. Fox Mulder is always just as close as my dvdplayer, Slow Motion Walter is always more than  just a blues song,  and the Gunmen always visit on Friday. Bunnies and bears always frolic in my living room, Blair Sandburg is always the bottom, there is always a next Sunday, everything's Benedict and nothing hurts, And finally, the Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.

That's enough to be going on with, don't you think?
