I liked the above line.  One of my pet peeves is that (this is a  
generalization) parents can define their kids like they were a computer  
and could just load in some software for what they want.  The day a child  
is born is the day that that child is another human being and that child  
should be respected as a decision making human being.

I like autumn and winter too. I have some photographs I took of the college
buildings and gardens, and my favourite ones have everything covered in snow
with icicles hanging in the fountain. When I was at Niagara Falls in
September I immediately wished we'd gone in winter when I saw the pictures
of the ice bridge.

Snow in Cambridge is a problem though. As soon as these southerners see more
than three flakes of snow they panic and the road system grinds to a halt,
either due to them being excrutiatingly cautious or being not cautious at
all (screach, slide, crunch!). The fact that the local council doesn't seem
to know what a snow plough looks like doesn't help either.

Well, folks, they said it couldn't be done, but the first integrated bisexual
group is off and running in North Carolina <insert *hugs*>.

We had our first meeting last nite, which was well attended by both sexes.
People here have been hungry for this group for a long time.

As many of you know, this group has been in the planning for a while.  It felt
so good to see everybody finally come together.  It felt like giving birth!
(w/o the pain, of course  :-) )

For all who are interested, our mail address is:

       Triangle Bisexual Network
       P.O. Box 4702

And of course, sweetie, you are quite right.  All women do when we
are in bed together is hold hands and stare lovingly into each others
eyes, though occasionally, we might get around to a little bit of 
stroking and ever so gentle caressing.  Of course being the gentler
sex we never wrestle with each other or pin each other down.
We never fuck each other till our brains spill on the floor, with fists,
dildos, even bigger dildos or what ever else comes to hand.

True enough, but it tends to be the same way when there is one woman with
a group of men.  I don't know if this is typical.

I suspect that this is because most of the groups I have been in have
consisted mostly of folks who had sex more often with members of the opposite
sex, and found members of the same sex to be a special treat.

All this talk of lemmings prompted me to actually play the damn games last

Of course, it'll happen sooner or later (if it already hasn't happened on
a Soviet flight; there are rumors that it has).  However, if you intend on
trying it today, it'll be a bit difficult.

On the other hand, they have finally let a married couple go up together
on the current flight.  Hmm... wonder if state sodomy laws apply in space?

I seem to collect nice women too. I'm starting to think of it as a
problem. Mom definately does. She's a feminist, pretty hip, has a
few G/L friends herself, and knows nearly all of my room/housemates over
the last 5 years have been Bi/L women. Recent examples:

I go with my roommates to Indigo (popular women's bar in Boston) and
realize that I know 17 out of perhaps 80 women in the bar, probably
more than anybody else. I spent a good deal of time doing introductions
and setting up an introduction between a coworker and the roommate
of a woman on my roommate's softball team.

I go to work onsite for a customer. The one woman on the project there
is a no-doubt-about-it-dyke (trapped in suit-and-tie closet land).

I'm flying back to Louisville, Ky., where I work during the week, and
get the last seat assignment on the plane from DCA. I end up sharing the
last row with a cute woman. She looks straight (long hair, shorts,
t-shirt) and a little hip (braided cloth ankle bracelet), but the gaydar
must have been working overtime when I (looking over the shoulder of
the guy in front of me reading USA Today) opened up with: "Hmmm, Whitney
Houston's pregnant, I guess that's one reason for marrying a man."

Well, we have a great conversation and she's really cool - 25, an
artist (her commissioned charcoal won 1st at the Ky. state fair),
just finished school in Florida, worked as a dj there, and is really
nice. She told me about her visit to NY, the local club scene, 
her artwork and framing job, her girlfriend, their problems,
and her recent aquisition of some leather clothing... Why don't I
have great conversations like this with straight women and have them
offer me thier phone #'s?

Anyway, at least I have a new friend in L'ville and got to tell mom:
"See, I don't seek them out - its fate. USAir put me next to her!." 

sigh.

That nasty sinking feeling as your gaff spliters, you hop over the side

years old, stand on the edge of the daggerboard, it cracks, you fall into

In the early seventies, most of the good pornography (both print and film)
in the US. was imported from Europe.  It's been years since I have seen
anything from Europe, though... films I can understand (since there is no
film production here anymore; it's all on video and the NTSC/PAL problems
may have something to do with the popularity of imports), but I have no
idea why I never see any print media.
