Yup... insanity I tell ya
Rain was steadily falling for the first 24-hours in Newark. My hotel and work location are right across from the airport, and it�s a heavily industrial area. I could see the rain fighting to wash away the grime that pervades all the surfaces here� and I�m sad to report, the grime won. Welcome to the industrial North East, I suppose.
I�ve been doing a fair amount of posting on My Yahoo blog, which mainly concerns My thoughts and feelings about the D/s lifestyle, and My experiences within it.

My hotel is 500 yards away� I�m not spending the night� hope they aren�t offended :p
Why do I write about all this here? Well, at the moment, this is the one thing that is consuming My life� this go-live. And I have another plant scheduled for go-live just a short 6 weeks away. Ain�t life grand?
Reading up, I now realize this couldn�t get any more boring� unless, of course, I continue to write. So, just to show how much I care about the people who may read this� I stop the insanity and qui
