You know, normally I'm an optimist. I'm the guy that believes that every cloud has a silver lining somewhere, even if you have to hunt for it. But this whole thing about being banned is just something I can't see any silver lining in at all.

Above, not shown in the pic, is my store; some of the items on display in the garden are for sale in the store. This time I have some poses set up; cuddles on a bench and some individual ones on a blanket under the...

So maybe now is the time to start using words like "girlfriend" and "lover." Mmm. I don't want to rush things but I can't believe how happy all of this is making me.
