our story so far

  ROB sips a microbrewed lager and wonders how to celebrate . . . or at least acknowledge . . . Allen's having SUCCESSFULLY BEDDDED his new amour without seeming like a total unfeeling "typical guy" macho heel. In person ROB would HIGH FIVE Allen, then watch carefully to discern JUST HOW AMBIVALENT Allen is feeling about the situation.  

Our story so far . . . hmmmm . . .

Allen is in Los Angeles and has just drawn a step closer to the new love interest in his life, a French scientist.r5.jpg

Beverly and 'wordsman are ensconced in their nest in the deep woods, smooching it up and sharing ideas and editing the film Beverly was making in the Philippines. 'wordsman has been giving Allen moony, poetic love advice and Beverly has been busting 'wordsman's chops for it.

I, Rob, am getting set up for this Fall's Design teaching, and drawing like crazy. I filled a whole Japanese, accordion-style sketchbook.

The spam-bots got too annoying so I turned off the comments feature on all but the most recent entries. Spam ruins the fun for everyone. Got a really good price on some generic snake oil, though.

  Because, as ROB knows, with Allen AMBIVALENCE REIGNS. No sooner does he break through to INTIMACY with the WOMAN OF HIS DREAMS than he can't GET TOO FAR away from her. ROB takes another slug of lager and SHRUGS. ROB wishes them ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. And LUCK.
