If you had told me a little over a year ago that I’d be thumb-typing a column on a smartphone mere hours before posting time, while waiting for a ferry on an island off the coast from Seattle, I would have laughed at you. Yet that is exactly what I’m doing right now. Life is queer with its twists and turns, isn’t it? Here I am back at work again, making all sorts of personal, business and activist connections, running incredibly late on my deadlines and even using a damned smartphone…and being OK with all of that. It’s been a hell of a year, and I have all my loyal readers to thank for it.

Jesus are you out there waiting for the ferry by yourself at night?
Don’t worry, love; it was well-lit and well-staffed & I wasn’t the only one. 🙂
What drew you to Seattle? (Rhetorical)
A number of things, chief among them being a voluptuous redhead.
Oh gawd I thought it was me! Aaaaaahhhhhh!

Re: the “damned smartphone:” due to my phone’s aggressive autocorrect and autosuggest “features,” I have a slightly different term for such devices: smart-ass phone.
You probably have one of those outdated models where you still have to type something resembling your messages yourself. I hear the next generation will do all that for you as well!
