At home and other things. . .

So here I am again. I managed to get through the "I Write in December, January, and February" contest without missing one week. I am rather proud of that. I also am thrilled to be going again with the "I Write in March, April, May" contest.

In addition, as at least some of you already know, I have humbly volunteered my services to the PENCIL carnival Fundraiser. I am, in fact, in the kissing booth. So for a mere, 1,000 gift points you can actually kiss royalty. Not only that, but the royalty is me for heaven's sake, so what are you waiting for?

Actually, I have already received my first five kisses, from, of all people, Cindy Blaine. Leave it to Cindy to find out about something like that without my announcing it.

As for what's in my home that's no place else, I am going to say my bed. Yes, bed has always been a favorite place for me, whether it was the one I grew up in in New York, the one in my college dorm at New Paltz, the one in my apartment in Boston, or the one in my current apartment in China. I like being in bed, not because I like sleeping, but because there I feel free to just enjoy the feel of the blankets and think about whatever I want.
