If we’re lucky…

We all have one. That friend we never see and rarely even talk to, but we tell ourselves it doesn’t matter. As soon as we see her again, we’ll pick up right where we left off. Conversation will be as easy as it ever was. Old memories will be smiled over. Triumphs, heartbreaks, disappointments, celebrations that have taken place since the last time we talked will be shared. We’ll talk about the changes in our families. The trials and compensations of getting older…

For me, that friend is Debbie. I don’t talk about her often, although I think about her every day. She’s been part of my life since we were eighteen years old.

Reading is STILL HOT!

Bob, shown here reading Lambda Literary Awards finalist Greg Herren’s MARDI GRAS MAMBO, remembers that Reading is HOT! Do you? After following Tim’s link to FARB’s excellent discussion about GLBT books (like I don’t check FARB’s blog several times a day), I realized it’s been a while since I reminded you.

Help me out! Please send photos of you–or anyone!–reading any of the books that are Lambda finalists. C’mon, you know you want your picture on my LiveJournal, right?

Full Worm Moon

I have a crush on the moon. Full, crescent, high, low, white, red–doesn’t matter to me. I love the moon. I really wished I could have seen the full moon total lunar eclipse on Saturday night, but it was over by the time the moon rose in our Texas sky.

From space.com, some full moon lore:

In this month the ground softens and the earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signals the end of winter, or the Full Crust Moon because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation.

I was too tired and cold to get a really good shot of March’s Full Worm Moon the way it looked over the TimLair. But doesn’t it make you wonder if the Timpire was out and about, his faithful companion Rexford at his side, the two of them on the hunt for…who knows what…

Challenge

The other day I was wending my way through Friends’ LiveJournals, and Friends of Friends’ LiveJournals, when I read a post by someone on behalf of a photographer friend. He was doing a project in which he was looking for photos of a person in basically the same pose from childhood to age 18. While I didn’t want to send him my photos, I was interested in seeing how that would look.

So I challenge you to humiliate yourself much like this…

Not really Hobbitses

Yesterday after Tom’s usual Saturday morning with AFH’s Stone Soup, we met the Disgruntled Liberals Club for brunch at The Hobbit Cafe, which at its former location was called The Hobbit Hole. This was my first time at the new place (“new” to me only, as it moved years ago), and the food is still excellent. The company included some of my very favorite people in the world. Only Don, our Founder, was absent. This is always the case when I have my camera. I threatened to photoshop him in to our group picture, but the best photo I have of him is in his cap and gown when he got his doctorate. Robin thought that would be appropriate, but I’m holding out. I truly believe that one day we’ll all be together at the same place at the same time when a camera is present.

Robin surprised us with this:
