I'm joining the club. Celia pressured me to start a blog and I finally have something worthy of posting.
This past week my fabulous and unpredictable husband Dax was invited to interview at a prestigious production company in Los Angeles. It was the type of job that when they ask you to interview, you drop everything and go.
Dax invited Mimi and me to come along, so we made a little vacation out of it. Waffle came too. The interview went really well and Dax was scheduled to start the following day, meaning that our whole family would be moving to Los Angeles after the brief trial period at this job.
We've been in the Bay Area nearly a year and have almost established ourselves so we were reluctant to move. I had talked Dax into leaving Universal to go to London and then Lovells to move to Walnut Creek so I was in no position to make this decision. While Dax was fretting about going to work the following day, I went to sleep assuming I'd have to drive him to work the next morning at his brand new job and our brand new life.
It was about 9 when I woke up and asked Dax why he wasn't ready for work. He said, "I'm not going."
Dax had been up until 3am weighing the options, and he finally said a quick prayer about it. Then, he googled his boss.
The first four hits on this guy talked about the millenial march on Washington. The next article talked about his founding membership in a group called PLAY or People of Leather Among You. As he read on, he learned that his boss has a full sized dungeon in the basement of his home in which he keeps "pups" for play. But these are no ordinary puppies. The main "pup" is a grown man named Tip. Pup Tip is a human.
And that's not all, folks. As he scrolled down, there was a full picture of Dax's new boss in full leather gear holding a leash. On the end of that leash was a blond nubial man pretending to be a puppy.
He decided not to take the job.

The above isn't him, but it looks just like him. Loving the leather.
I wouldn't deprive you of your Mimi fix. She's my favorite child.

Yay Nor. Cute name. That story is so great it might be worthy of its own personal link. I can't wait to read your future blogs. BTW, it is really difficult to refrain from picturing your baby every day, so don't bother.
I told Mark about Pup Dax. He is sending buttless chaps from his collection. Glad to have another member of PLAY.
That is hilarious. So I'm off to google all my bosses now.
Yay! Link me to your blog!
today in hawaii i was reading peacefully on the couch when i was distracted by dad giggling. i walked over to where he was "working" on his laptop and found him googling skip. it is pretty funny.
Best story I've heard all week. I hate to admit that if Spencer had had the same experience, he would probably be only more excited for the chance to work with such an astoundingly, and obviously, more sophisticated and evolved human being. And thanks for not moving!
