Year++
Today marks exactly one year from when I started up this crazy lil thing called blog, which makes me a relative late-comer to the game.
I'd have to say that it's one of the better things I've done for myself in my life. I'm not overstating this. I've met some terrific people over the past year, directly and indirectly, because of this blog. Most importantly, I met LOML.
The people who got me started in this, and kept me going in this, in rough time order include Scott, Walter, Michael, Pete, Dekkametric and LOML. Richard, Jennie, Jimbo, Jeff, Jason and Stephen. And dozens of others I've added to my regular-reads and regular-friends lists throughout the year.
And, of course, I must thank Eddie Izzard, without whom there would not be even the notion of "Geoff, the God of Biscuits". Or "Simon, the God of Hairdo's", for that matter.
Last night I was watching the Moon as it passed between the sliver of sky between two buildings across the street and up the hill from my backyard, that same Moon, always in motion but always There. This June on the other hand, is a very different June to the last one when this all started, and it's an almost entirely Better June. I'm working in a job that I absolutely love, and I love a man who's a lot of work! (Just kidding). You're my favorite, too, you know.
I'm such a lucky man. I've lived in San Francisco almost eleven years: this place is a wonder. I'm completely and utterly stupid in love with the Boy. And...I have the best friends in the world, the best family in the world. I've always had a sense of abundance about my life, and I've never ever had to wonder why.
