I've made a lot of friends on the blog in the 26 months since it went public and some of them have become close in real life. One of them is Shannon, who, like Lin in New Mexico, I call "sister" even though we're not related by blood. We talk almost day, which isn't always easy, myself busy with work and she with a houseful, including four kids at home, her beautiful, active and artist Mom and husband. She knows my secrets and I share in the life of food, kids, family and stability there in the desert. We live in two different worlds, but we're cut from the same cloth, even though mine is dark blue, overly starched and worn with uncomfortable shoes and the occasional hazmat gear and hers is one of fluid colors, softness and strength.I love you "little sis". Be safe.

I concur with her assessment. The statement: "I seriously doubt God also intended for the human race to be ruled by its fears" rings true.
Thanks for the post B.!
Sorry I am not more active but gearing up to teach my first Concealed Carry Handgun class next month. Many things to be folded, stapled and mutilated!

Sisterhood.... very much so a connection that spans beyond understanding.
God wants one fear, to be in awe of our creator
Always a good thing to have sisters.....blood related or not :)
We've followed your blog for many months and even though you don't know use, we feel like you're already a sister...

Ohh, also Ruger and Sasha, our faithful four-legged family members giving a paws-up to Barkley.
Excuse me as I mop up my tears here..
My dear Brigid - thank you. Indeed, you have become a very important part of my life. I'll be sending your next payment...er, gift of m&m's before long (don't send the muscle to collect yet!)...I kid. Much love, my sister!!
One can live without a sister or brother, be it blood relative or simply another,
but is it living as living should be, or is it simply existing, like the lone tree?
I'll definitely add her to the read list!
I am happy that so many women write so well, and share their lives, and thanks to the internet I can be there and see that 'She does understand Boys'. And really cares.
Coconut M&M's? Ye Gods!
I remember the tan ones from when I was but a lad.

One day, not so long ago, while perusing a random google reader generated blogs list, Shannon stumbled across my little weird corner of the internet. And lo and behold right there in my blog list was Brigid. Guess which two of my favorite female bloggers connected? That their friendship has blossomed makes me feel like a proud big step-brother. Whether fate or luck, it makes me smile.
Thanks for sharing Brigid.

I don't know if I'd read the blog or not, but I'd definitely look at any pictures of her in those jeans.
og - you are incorrigible. She's a good a cook as I am, that's dangerous in and of itself.
Batphone rang early Will talk to you later.
You'd have to visit my blog to look at me in the jeans...might as well read it while you're there. Just sayin'.
I have been known to stare at a picture of a particuloarly nice ass for a long period of time. Hell, I spent most of 1970 staring at the album cover for Linda Ronstadt's "Silk Purse". Pretty much everything else in 1970 escaped me. Hell, my contact lens prescription is deliberately weak lest I lock on to a woman in a pair of lowrise jeans and drive into a concrete bridge abutment.
hehe. I said "but". Heheh.
