tallisker

I'm surprised they haven't turned me into one of those "Tallisker is no longer active on the site" pages. It will happen someday, but apparently that day has not yet come.
I've been sticking with the political involvement, and picking up babysitting hours on the side. Fall has crumpled into winter, which brought fluffy snow by 2 AM last night that has turned into the thickest slush puddles I've encountered in a long time. The boy has moved away to pursue his education, and I'm set to follow at some point, which will be a first for me. But I find that no work is as gratifying as being near the one you love... Jesus I feel like I'm hearing someone else speaking, not me. But it's true, right? He's wonderful and sweet and silly and makes me happy.
So I'm relishing my time left in New York. I may stay another few months, and try to live up every day. Museums, shows, cross-country skiing upstate, foodcourts in Flushing where no words are written in English, or bars in Brooklyn that are accessed by drawbridges along canals... Or just cooking breakfast in undies, boots, and a furry hat.
let me know if you have must-do suggestions. Thanks!
