I am appalled and dismayed by the reviews for the new season of Sherlock (BBC-1) which is to be aired here in the States eventually. In order to dispel thoughts of a gay Sherlock, they have put a nude scene in the first episode of the 2nd season. Stupid people. No one would ever accuse Sherlock of that. They began with over 1 million viewers in England, hundreds of people wrote in disgusted about the episode. I am disappointed.

I ended up deactivating my fb account for awhile. I saw a post about Julie and her boyfriend. Her lack of chastity is also appalling and discouraging. I thought for sure that she had been grounded in what was right....and especially self-respect. Again, I am wrong.

I had a pretty bad day, where I ragged on myself and my shortcomings, those especially evident as a parent. I am full of remorse for my selfishness, my pettiness, etc, etc, etc.

I wrote a poem for Randy - it is still in draft mode.

You are the moon in my sky stars in my heaven warmth of my bones the beat of my heart Empathy wings your true self to me in a subtle breath Binding melding a lifetime of joy and sorrow             scant offerings repaid gratitude in gentility and grace a marriage of vitality, comfort, and promises A covenant made to withstand life’s barbs             wounds             chasms the blooming flower of eternity Jan 3, 2012 db
