A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Burlesque isn't just a dance...


Recently, a friend read this blog. He enjoyed it, but he thought that it would be better if I revealed more about myself. Initially I was surprised by his comment. Then, I realized that he must have taken the blog's tag line to heart. I do claim that this blog is about my life, desires and dreams. Lately, there have been tales about my life and the lives of those I know. I have also provided my take on current events. However, I have included very little about my desires and dreams.

I have been holding back. I have hinted at what I really want and what thrills my soul, but I have refrained from going into too much detail. According to my friend, frequently, my hints have been too subtle.

To be sure, I never intended this blog to be a diary or a confessional. My nature is to be private while sharing a pre-determined list of public intimacies. For a time, I specialized in keeping people at a distance while making them believe that they had penetrated my soul. I wrote the blog the same way, somewhat like “writing burlesque”. I would show enough to entice, but save what really mattered. Based on my friend’s comments, I may have forgotten how to tease…

Like life, the blog is frequently an exercise in deciding what to share and what to save. I think that I can afford to share a little more without giving up all of the goods. Like I wrote last fall, I crave a life that feeds my soul and fills me with passion. Hopefully soon, I will experience the manifestation of that desire and take you on a more intimate journey with me. One that will entice you to keep wanting more…

Stay tuned!!!
