Sarah and David's story began here Sunday night, yet again. They seemed to come more quickly in summer. Sarah remembered when she had looked forward to her Sunday night ritual, when the weeks had stretched long and Sunday seemed to never come. Now they came all too frequently. Sarah composed her weekly report, mentally ticking … Continue reading Distance Learning: Matriculation

Yes Equality
Today’s message is specifically for my fellow Irish readers, though I hope many outside this island share these sentiments. This Friday 22 May, Ireland will vote on the issue of homosexual marriage. This issue has been close to my heart for as long as I can remember, and I am very happy to … Continue reading Yes Equality
What I Can Say
I say that I am visiting friends- friends I met years ago while travelling and have who have kept in touch. I cannot say that we knew of each other even longer than that, that we had met online and knew much about one another before we ever got together. I say that … Continue reading What I Can Say
Love Our Lurkers
The shops are telling me it's Christmas already, but there's another very important holiday before we get to that one. It's Love our Lurkers day in spanking blog land (though I suppose they may not know that and therefore can be forgiven). Be sure to head over to Hermione's place to see who all is … Continue reading Love Our Lurkers
Inventory
As part of my typical post-holiday routine, I've been taking an inventory or sorts to try to recapture some of the simplicity of holiday now that some sense of "normal" has returned. With that goal in mind, several links have been removed from this site as the associated blogs are gone or no longer actively … Continue reading Inventory
More Silly Questions
I was having a girl's day out with a good friend who had decided it was time to introduce me to the wonders of eyebrow waxing. We were about to enter the shop- on the threshold and getting in the way of fellow shoppers- when she stopped and turned back with a look of anxiety. … Continue reading More Silly Questions
The Price of Honesty
It started, as so many odd and wonderful things do, with a chat in a pub. I had met a writer- a real one, someone who had devoted himself to this craft as a way of life, not just something to piddle with occasionally on the internet. After several pints, I had lost sufficient inhibition … Continue reading The Price of Honesty
Spanking Survey
Joost from Bad Girls Need Good Spankings has recently launched, in his own words, a "a rather limited and of course not scientific" survey, designed to increase understanding of where this odd little fascination comes from and how it is manifested. These are questions I often ponder, and I am very curious to see the … Continue reading Spanking Survey
Happy Blog Day to Me!
One year ago today, I made my first posting here. It's been a busy year. Most would think that starting a blog while in the process of moving and changing jobs would be a bad idea, but I've found it a source of structure and comfort. It's nice to have something completely within my control … Continue reading Happy Blog Day to Me!
April First
A few weeks back, my friend Michael proposed that the bossy-sounding (er . .I mean “toppy-sounding”) day of “March Fourth” should be henceforth known as All Tops’ Day. He presented a compelling argument, though I couldn’t help but notice that something seemed missing. We have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Labor day and Presidents day. … Continue reading April First
