Albany Bulb

    These photographs are just a few I have taken over the last ten years at The Albany Bulb, also known as the Landfill, the Waterfront and just The Bulb. It is a place I feel passionate about. That much is obvious. There are many of us who believe that this piece of the much hyped Eastshore State Park should have been left untouched and unmanaged - because it is a unique example of what happens when a place naturally and organically self regulates. But the dogma of 'preservation' and 'conservation areas' 'resource protection', 'habitats' and 'liability' overrules all individual identity. They cannot leave anything untouched, un-designed. It is as if if they (the park planners) didn't make it, it has no value. Rules, guidelines, regulations, interpretive signage, fences, safety, sanctioned art - it leaves nothing to the imagination. That is what the landfill meant to us - a place of unlimited imagination.

Funny that you should write about match.com because I was just contemplating writing my own blog post about my experience there, or lack thereof, the past couple of months.

Alternative titles for my post are: Why Match.com Sucks Out Loud (for me) or Still Crazy After All These Years (does not match well with match.com).

I knew I was in trouble from the beginning when a profile question wanted to know what is my favorite color and my reaction was: "I don't know how knowing my favorite color could be any indication that you'd want to date me!"

Still, after skipping that question, I played along and set up a profile because I'm dumb that way. Too often, I like to please. It's my biggest fault.

After two months of futility, I've turned off my profile and canceled my membership.

I wish I would/could have just said: I'm still a bit loca. But I'll make you laugh. That's not much to go on, but it's a start.

By the way, I love unexpected turns in the road too.

I'm coming back tomorrow to wish you a proper Happy Birthday.

Happiest Birthday! I had no luck with dating sites. I tried them all. When you are gay and live in Boise Idaho you keep getting the same 7 lesbians at each site you sign up with. Most were not interested in a woman who didn't realize she was a lesbian until later in life. (44) They thought me a coward when really I was just lacking self awareness. Others thought I didn't "look" like a lesbian. And there was one who abruptly cut off communication when she learned that my favorite tv drama was Six Feet Under. Citing it to be over dramatic and unrealistic. When I inquired about her favorite show she said, "The L Word". hummmmmm I did finally get to know 2 women from Curve. One took me for $1700 and stole my photography the other backed out 2 hours before she was supposed to get on a plane to Boise. All in all, dating women has been harder than dating men ever was. But I sure do enjoy it more. :)

Again, Happy Birthday. 54 looks good on you. I like your self description. I think I might sit down tonight and get honest about my profile. Hitting delete of course before I publish. Take care.

Coming back to say HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL! Kitty sends greetings too.

"I'm not really bitter. I'm just not very sane, and I want someone to love me for exactly who I am. Is that so fucking unreasonable?"

Why no, it isn't. Happy B-day. I'll be 47(argggh) in 6 days. I'll think of you fondly as I hoist a brew in honor of being loved for who you are!
