Delighted that you like the term "Butch Goddess," which I made up all by myself with just a teensy bit of assistance from my tall, gruff typist. Please keep us posted on what's happening in Oz.

While I'm quite a fan of the excellent coffee, (semi) socialized medicine, laconic humour and quirky aesthetic we're onto here in Australia, life is not quite the same without American friends, the NY Times in hardcopy, Texan BBQ and and Rachel on MSNBC. I hope you're in good health, and hope to catch up around the holidays!

Cartoons make the ...Roxie!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the this post! Cartoons make the most sense, most of the time for me. So I'll comment on this one, which gets better and better the more I think about it. First of all HE is typing on his laptop -- TYPING! the whole way, while SHE is steering their course at the wheel! Second she is middle aged -- and not his third wife -- if Hillary did one thing at least she opened the door to the viability of women over 50 as friends and paradigms (give me a better word, please, than "paradigms")! <BR/><BR/>Emily Dickinson is often rattling my mind, her words pop up, with such splendid humor AND mystery -- all at once:<BR/><BR/>The Leaves like Women interchange<BR/>Exclusive Confidence --<BR/>Somewhat of nods and somewhat<BR/>Portentous inference.<BR/><BR/>The Parties in both cases<BR/>Enjoining secrecy --<BR/>Inviolable compact<BR/>To notoriety.<BR/><BR/>CSLAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-10060077108976926452008-08-03T00:46:00.000-04:002008-08-03T00:46:00.000-04:00Can't believe it, but I just lost my comment, Rox....Can't believe it, but I just lost my comment, Rox. So this is written with considerably less verve than that. . . .anyway, I'm in the Southern part of Maddow-landia, or South of Dog-Eared Book's Eden just off a bend in the road. . .a gorgeous spot. What a TREAT it was visiting there and also to call this up at the end of a day where we were thinking about Emily Dickinson's writings and their effect on us, rather than the Grutil Pact of 1291. <BR/><BR/>And hey, don't the campus police think that was a "Savannah cat" (a larger-than-usual domesticated--as of 1986 or so--feline) and not a cougar? No matter. . .whatever, there's a PUMA running 'round loose in woods close to DC. That's damned amusing. . . .<BR/><BR/>Gotta get to bed, ROX, but thanks for the big belly laugh. And do keep me posted on whether it's a cougar or Savannah.<BR/>love,<BR/>GooseMartha Nell Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066686045532002283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-35608276077494248092008-08-01T19:25:00.000-04:002008-08-01T19:25:00.000-04:00Well the Doonesbury link took me to the site and I...Well the Doonesbury link took me to the site and I read all the Joanie Caucus wedding strips, which had me laughing out loud! <BR/><BR/>In the days of gay marriage they have another interesting edge too....<BR/><BR/>Thanks You All!Katie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901518232103073849noreply@blogger.com
