A new twist on an old line meets Rip van Winkle



Yes, dear blog readers, if blog readers still I have after my spotty updates, I am married. This morning while lying in bed Jonathan repeated the oft-heard words, "I wish we could just stay in each other's arms forever." Then he added, "Minus the hair growth." This immediately brought to mind what would happen if his wish literally came true (and we somehow had no need for nourishment) . . . he would turn into a limp-eyed, bushy-faced Rip van Winkle and I would become some kind of gnarled and ratty Rapunzel. We were both struck with this imagery almost immediately. Suddenly the idea of staying in each other's arms forever became much less appealing.

Thank you darlings! I'm looking forward to posting more often . . . and keep your eyes open for my up and coming blog dedicated specifically to my photography.

Just think of the olfactory overload. Eternal morning breath makes the thought even less appealing.
