Happy New Year!

In my search for "Happy New Year" look who showed up! I don't see where he fits the search words but, he makes me happy and it's New Year's Eve so, from Madeline Moore to everyone out there, my extra special Happy New Year pic:

Merry Merry and Happy Happy

'Tis the season when even the grumpiest blogger must bow to the pressure of the masses and say, "Merry Christmas" or at least "Happy Holidays."

Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!

And Happy New Year, too.

I should post a picture of something festive here but instead I will direct you to the brilliant Mil Millington's Xmas card. He wrote the hilarious book Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About and his Christmas card is much funnier than anything I can come up with at the mo.

Hey, I've got stuff to do, man!

Enjoy the funny read and pretend I wrote it but don't pretend I plagiarised it. Or you can just accept that he wrote it and I sent you a link. Either way, my gift to all of you:

Mil Millington's 2011 Xmas Card


Peace, people! I mean, honestly . . .

My Car and Me - A short short silly silly story

I was hanging out at Kristina Wright's blog admiring her babies and her work ethic, not necessarily in that order, and I realized I missed blogging. So here I am!

Hmm. A few moments have passed while I tried to think of what to write about.

Well, this week I had to purchase a new muffler for my car. No, you silly Brits, I don't mean one of these:

Such a beautiful painting by Kristin Kemper which you can buy here

and I'm not talking about the brolly, either, as you Brits call an umbrella, or in this case three umbrellas from
playle.com:

So we're perfectly clear, now, that I'm not talking about this, which I would have been much happier purchasing:

Correct?


I'm talking about this stupid, expensive ugly essential thing:

which you may purchase here

It ate up all my earnings for a week of tutoring writing students.

This blog has already made me remember why I took a break from the blog.

Here, this helps:

You can see more of the same here

So I was pretty grumpy about spending money on car parts until I got home and found this in my trunk:

And then I felt much better.

The End

My Trophy is Here!

What a beauty! I won this amazing award, hand-crafted in Brazil, for my story "Get Up, Stand Up!" which appeared in the Logical Lust e-book and book The Cougar Book, edited by Jolie du Pre.

Thanks to Kristina Lloyd for representing me at the "Night of the Senses" Awards Ceremony. Thanks to Tuppy Owens and the many other folks who made the event a wild and wonderful and weird celebration of S-E-X.

This event supports the charity "Outsiders"

Outsiders is a unique charity which provides:-

• a private and safe club for physically and socially disabled people where they can gain confidence and support each other in their journey enjoy sex and find a partner. The Club is a microcosm of acceptance in a hostile world.

• the Sex and Disability Helpline which is free to callers and people who email from all over the world.globe.

• The Sexual Health and Disability Alliance for health professionals to support each other and learn more about sexuality and disability

• campaigns and projects to improve the personal lives of disabled people and improve their acceptance as sexual partners

Outsiders was founded in 1979 by Dr Tuppy Owens who is also the promoter of The Night of the Senses. It is a registered charity No 283350.

Hurrah for Tuppy and the Outsiders and The Night of the Senses and Kristina Lloyd.

Hurrah for my very own flying penis.
