The Serenity Wish of Southern Charm

"Serenity" by dobee on DeviantArt 

May the laird grant me the serenity
                                to accept the things I cannot change,
                                                     the courage

                                                                    to change the things I can,
                                                                                                     and the wisdom 

                                                                                                            to know the difference.

Today my Tomais and I went out sailing for the first time in a long while. It was just a short trip, because I was late home from work and Tomais had to leave for his work, but it was still good. There is something to be said for just being alone with the one you love on a boat at sea.

[Secret Message - Only Readable By A Chosen Few]

O.M.F.G. I cannot believe it but my brother JJ found me A-N-O-T-H-E-R beautiful hair that suits me splendidly. Can you believe it? When it rains it really pours. I think that even the catty Anonymous person is going to adore it.

Over and out and talk amongst yourselves. I a now going to cover the secret part of this post with something eye-catching that "the others" can look at.

SCOOP: Bock Has A New Hair

"Finally!", Bock's loving and beloved husband, shouted today.

After helping in the search for a new hair for Bock the last several years poor Tomais had all but given up on Bock ever being able to update. Tomais had even gone so far as to caustically call his husband "Bockosaurus" for his failures in ever finding anything suitable.

Well today the search came to an end at last, Bock's brother JJ had found a hair that he thought might suit. And - loandbehold - the Bockosaurus enthusiastically approved!

Google Celebrates Lairds First Life Birthday

My dear friends over at Google surprised me with a cute doodle today on my first life birthday. When I scroll over it it says "Happy Birthday, Bock!"

Thank you Google, that was very sweet of you!
