Gracious, it has been a while since I've written, hasn't it?  So much to say and so little to tell ...

There was more travel, this time to enjoy the early sunrises of New England.  The weather was humid and hot, just the way I like.   Ostensibly, I was part of an entourage for the Woodward Development Corporation for the revitalization of their opera house, but really I was just floating on a cloud.  I attended few meetings. Producing is much like sausage-making, you really don't enjoy seeing how it is done.  And to indelicately continue the metaphor, I shamefully confess that there was some pressing of the flesh involved in keeping my accomodations free of charge. It was not a proud moment.

On the lazy Sunday, I attended an informal klatsch with some friends of friends of the core Uranians.  Heaven above, the shenanigans behind closed doors, the puffery of egos needing to be punctured, the schools of scandal and the catty confidence. It was good to speak and to be heard, to listen and to understand.  It was also good to enjoy proper coffee again, Irish or no.

The end of travel always makes one enjoy home so much more.  Only a few days ago, I chanced to enjoy cocktails with another impromptu gathering of androgynes and deviants.  There was a lot of waxing rhapsodic over the walls of old, now since torn down, the rubble used to make all sorts of bordellos and dens of inquity.  What once was not to be spoken of is now shouted from the windows.  I personally feel I have stepped over a barrier, myself, and that it is something I will measure by my own yard-stick.  Others have made light of my blushing disingenuousness, but I will hold these moments in high regard.  It feels good. It feels better.

I hope you and yours are better, too.

You ended paragraph 2 with a comma, and did not continue the metaphor, as promised.

You know, when I first read it, I assumed sie was being playful with syntax, and would be continuing the metaphor in the next paragraph, and didn't think anything else about it. Now that I look at it, I realize sie has done no such thing.

Fury! Clamor! Where is the rest of the promised metaphor?

Gracious, now you will have insight into the chaotic processes of my mind.

Please expect my three hundred apologies. The error has been fixed.
