Out with the old, in with the new

For weeks, it's been festive. Lights on houses, parties to go to, people in fabulous clothing drinking sweet wines and wines that foam.

New Year's was fabulous. My community's party tends to overflow with a huge group for New Year's, and allows drinking. Which tends to make the party more social event than play party. But we managed to have a good time anyway, sequestering ourselves to the play rooms for a bit: an elegant trio co-topping and ringing in the new year with canes and floggers over a roped-down bottom with a huge grin. I am definitely resolved to play more this year. Such a tough resolution . . .

Early January feels rather dull by comparison. I'm really looking forward to Jack Rinella's booksigning and talk this weekend, and hopefully making it to my local rope SIG later in the month. (It's been far too long.)
