What a strange and wonderful world, this fubar place. I am grateful--beholden to--sugartastic for leading me here.
I, like many of you, spend a fair amount of time wandering around the online wilderness. A largely pleasant experience, filled with surprises and good times and friends, old and new. Despite the interaction and community, though, it is a solitary undertaking. Me, alone, at home, computer on my lap (no small feat--it's a desktop), a cat on each hip, keyboard a-clicking, engaged.
This past week, though, I stepped out of the web and into face-to-face land. Went out with friends a couple of nights, to a friend's party another night, and to my own party --first one I've hosted in some time--on yet another night. It was a very pleasant, very happy, and way too fun reminder that life is best lived in the presence--the actual, physical presence--of others.
