What happened to May?

Last month sped by so quickly! Day-to-day activities kept me more occupied than expected, which I don't really mind. Feet are still my main mode of transportation, fueled by semi-regular visits to Cafe Zoma (my now-favorite coffee purveyor), and I've been doing bits of paying work here and there.

My o[l]dometer ticked over another year in May as well. The thought that I'm already in my forties still feels surreal. Compared to the years that I felt older than my age, feeling younger is quite definitely preferable. I celebrated in part by seeing Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. *yawn*

I recently read a blurb about the book Gay Haiku by Joel Derfner. These haiku I like! My favorite of the excerpts I've found is:

How is it you knew
I wasn't faithful? Oh, yeah.
Bite marks on my ass.

Our children were immediately intrigued by this form of expression and came up with their own, including:

The world is a mess!
Quick! Call out the Queer Eye guys!
Tszuj us into shape.

and

It's not WHO you love
but HOW you love — understand?
Same-sex marriage... YESSSS!

~PpKdA

Never a dull moment with those guys!
