I'm rather sorry that ItaX had such a hard time trying to find me! But I had a lot to do - and even more to plan for - that week, for I was preparing to visit my magnificent mousie Shirlee! And that's where I am right now.. ^______^ Here's the pencil sketch of a picture request from him: Itax getting to meet my good friends Gene, CatWhiskers, and of course Shirlee! I may not get to ink this soon.. this week is VERY important to me in a lot of ways and those important things take priority... <:)

I was in an AIM session with someone who got a real kick out
of the pics I did of my Shirlee and I. Naturally, I'm glad
he did, but it made me think for a bit... a good percentage
of our intimate time isn't quite as vigorous as that. We
spend a lot of our time (weekend evenings, particularly) in
a sort of snuggly, lazy, oblique cuddling mode. Just comfy
somewhere in our apartment, in partial to complete undress,
with the TV on but neither of us watching it (and that I
find a little weird.. why do we have it on if we don't watch
it?) and playing with each other's bodies while idly talking
about life in general.. my job, her studies, where we'd like
go together in life, etc. Sometimes it leads to us getting
aroused and busy (*very* busy!), sometimes the whole evening
passes just in that way.

My life is perfect. :)

This commemorates something that actually happened some time
ago, before we moved the second time! It was the first time
(the only time, really - we don't want to get arrested!)
that Shirlee and I did this outdoors. *^_^* Not quite in
a busy public place, but out of doors! We'd gone to visit
some folks, they weren't home yet, and it started to drizzle,
so we ducked into a little garden shed in their backyard,
and they were taking so long to get home, so while we were
watching the driveway waiting for them... :)

Of course, if anyone had even come *close* to walking by,
we'd have gotten dressed in a heartbeat! Looking back on
it, I think we really were lucky no one did! We really
shouldn't have tried such a thing! But... ^_^

Those who know Shirlee and I know we send each other stuff via email, even though we live together now, as we did for years when we lived apart. One of the things we send are recolors of old pics. This is one. Shirlee squealed with delight! Mission accomplished. :)

I got a couple of e-mails lately asking what happened to my skunk fem, Rhapsody. The answer is, why, nothing! She's still around. :)

Since Sean says he doesn't mind some of the stuff I'll be putting in "Skunk Aficionado" being online, here's a color version of one of the pics of Rhapsody that will be in it. I think I will limit the things I submit to his publication to his book from now on, though. There should be *some* exclusivity. <:)

The color version of my recent B&W Rhapsody pic. Forgot to upload this one!

Been a while since I uploaded to the VCL! Here's one of my studies of my pulchridutinous polecat Rhapsody, inked and CG'ed.

Wow, been a while since I've uploaded anything to VCL!

And will be at least a little while longer, as my fiance and I are beginning our move to a new apartment tomorrow. Just getting the last of my online stuff done, and here's my half of an art trade with Poofler! We both love our respective ladyfurs a whole bunch. ^_^

Once you learn to play, you should never go too long without
keeping yourself familiar with your music! Amazingly enough,
I can still play, but my fingertips have lost that added
surface they used to have so they're a little sore now. And
I need some new strings. And do they make pickups for flutes?
I mean, I'm sure Shirlee could use a mike, but a pickup would
get a cleaner sound. (Don't want to drown her out...)

Man, it's good to get back to one's music ^_^

A few folks have asked us what it's been like having to keep an eye on Gene and CW's son Eugene. Well... it's been interesting!

Gene's gonna KILL us...
