This is Ron. As you can guess from this website, he puts up with a lot from me. I have appreciated his patience and understanding over all of these years. We met at a potluck, had our first conversation in an elevator, and after our first date, decided that we had absolutely nothing in common. We still don't, except that we have grown in a wonderful love together. I can't imagine, now, being apart from him. Ron works at a Very Famous Magazine, here in Washington, DC.

Here's a picture of my boyfriend. We've been boyfriends for five or six years. Not to drop any names or anything, but he's an editor at another Very Famous Magazine, here in Washington, DC (tut, tut!). We met at a potluck dinner at my house (I love potlucks). My boyfriend waxes eloquently about chairs, and has the neatest sofa in his living room, but after all, you'd expect him to, wouldn't you?

These are some pictures of my boyfriend's feline companion. She has finally deigned to notice me, but it's taken about five years of effort on my part. I would say that she is a distant cat, but she is quite queenly, which really fits her living arrangements quite well. My boyfriend has provided her a quite tasteful Queendom from which she rules her subjects--beneficently, though distant, except when you scratch her neck very nicely

This is my sister. She's one of my favorite people. I recently visited her and her family in Chicago, including my nephew, James, and my grandnephew, KD. My sister's family is closest to me; the other family members live in the West. It's always a pleasure to visit and remember the "Good Ole Days" in Idaho. She has lived in Chicago since the early 60s, I've been away from Idaho since the late 70s, so we definitely see Idaho through rose-colored bifocals.

Now, I think this guy is really cute. He's a charming labor activist, dramatic performance artist and college professor--and, you guessed it, he hangs out at potlucks, too. He gave a fabulous Halloween Party. Which reminds me, that other picture is me, just before I went to his Halloween Party. I'm with Knoxxsee. I was having a lot of fun throwing myself at his other guests. I was a bad girl.

Here's my friend Philoxenia, one of the wise ones who hosts really fabulous potlucks.... Philoxie had a dream to create a faerie circle here, and he's put his whole heart into it. DuPont Circle is a lot more fabulous because of the spiritual outreach that he has done to the local community. I salute him!
