life is beautiful,life is wondrous

The holidays are passing so fast.Maybe it's just been busy as hell.I normally hate "the season" but there is one thing that I love about it,everyone comes to town.People are out of school,people come to see their folks,it's a veritable visiting fairyland.I am actually having a radical faery come and see me today.My Gay-boyfriend Patrik.I love him so,we have known each other since I was about 16. He moved to Asheville NC,and haven't seen him in about a year.I also have my Sister Allison in town from Sarasota and my girl Portia in from Georgia.I am just happy to get to spend time with them.I have been seeing so many people and it reminds me that I have an enormous amount of love in my life and that I have to be thankful for every moment of the life that I share with all these beautiful people.

having a django kind of night,with r l burnside undertones......

I am having the kind of night...you know.Something is coming to your attention....the year is coming to an end once again.Amazing how that happens.it's the time of year when you want to drink strong wine to keep the ends of your fingers warm.It sometimes leads to schnapps shenanigans in parked cars.I feel the season coming on.I am trying to learn to cope with the sudden turn in the weather.I feel that odd "long december" moment coming on,as well as a propensity to burst out into tears anytime I hear that goddamn dan fogelburg song....well,they are the harbingers of the season.I have a sister who has dubbed it gift season.But I have uses for this season all alright.

It is when everyone under the sun goes out of/comes into town.You have a chance to see a lot of different faces,to strengthen old connections.It is about family ties.I promise I am not getting all don corleone here.I just think that it's a good time to see some beautiful things happen.I 'll do it as long as i can wander.
