Home again
Got back from the leather conference late last night. Damn these events are tiring, but very fun. This week is another rushed one, 3 days in the shop then I'm off to Alaska for a family event.

I have stories to share, but you will need to wait a bit till the coffee kicks in and I get the unsold stock unloaded.

In the meantime here is a quickie.

This weekend I met porn star, educator, author and activist Nina Hartley.(not work safe) Now one might assume that someone of her history and standing would be a haughty diva, you know a total bitch who would not have the time to talk with a mere rope maker like myself. Quite to the contrary. When she was introduced to my by a mutual friend the exchange went something like this.
"Hi, I'm Monk, I am honored to meet you." I say giving a slight bow.
"Nice to meet you Monk, I have heard of you."
"Really? wow! I must say, thanks to you I now have to shave my palms and my eyesight is bad" (yeah I know, bad masturbation humor)
*laughing* "Well I'm glad I helped you get though Jr. High"
Both laughing now, this would be the start of many more exchanges over the weekend.
