奥の細道 (Oku no Hosomichi)

Redolent of Matsuo Basho's haiku narrative of his journey on a "narrow path to the interior" this will be a journey through my innermost ruminations.

Welcome to My Jungle

I commented on a post about what a jungle alt. is. This is my jungle, where all things are possible, and where a wall may open up to reveal a wonder.

My two-story cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains of northern Virginia is at the trailing tip of the wing in the photo. The lake is edged with moss and I am slowly converting it into a replica of my favorite Japanese garden in Kyoto, Sai Ho Ji, the moss garden. I have installed one waterfall already and am about to install another.

If you get tired of the alt jungle, come visit mine. It's much more enjoyable.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

__Henry David Thoreau

I think I'll add a little bit from my profile about who I am and what I focus on. The rest you can get from my stories, most of which are indexed, complete with links to each, below No Way Out Belle de Jour Jenny and illustrate both my imagination and creativity in an erotic setting and my sexual, dominant side. (Some of the shorter stories aren't indexed, but you can find them on my blog, for example this one on page one Exquisite Agony.)

"The knowledge of the ancients was perfect. How perfect? At first they did not know that there were things. This is the most perfect knowledge -- nothing can be added. Next, they knew that there were things, but did not make distinctions between them. Next they made distinctions, but did not pass judgment. When they started to pass judgment, the Tao was destroyed."

__Chuang-Tzu

This week's song -
Me and Bobby Magee -- Sheryl Crow & Kris Kristofferson
(the Janis Joplin arrangement)

My cathedral-ceilinged cabin made of 200-year-old hand-hewn logs enjoys a panoramic picture-window view of my private, secluded lake near DC. I am always open to the possibility that a woman interested in new experiences might wish to join me there. In addition to exotic and creative sex, I love outdoor activities: hiking, swimming, biking, hot-tubbing, star-gazing. I enjoy concerts, mainly folk rock. I don't care much for the bar mob scene, though I do enjoy a quiet jazz lounge setting, where the atmosphere is conducive to intimate conversation with an intelligent, interesting and exciting woman as we enjoy the music. I have my own well-stocked bar and wine cellar for romantic get-togethers. I usually swim for about an hour a day when I'm in the mountains and do some fishing and canoeing. I also do some biking and hiking. I live in separate worlds, and keep them apart. I enjoy reading fiction, history and biography (I'm currently--12/4/16-- just starting to read a new translation of the world's oldest novel, Lady Murasaki's The Tale of Genji. This book is also the world's oldest erotic novel).

Sex has always been a huge part of my life. Much of my life has been defined by my sexual relationships. My primary interest in alt. is explore the similarities its lifestyle has with what I experienced in Japan. Secondarily, I use alt. as a sounding board for the erotic fiction I post in my blog and the magazine No Way Out Belle de Jour Jenny. As my stories indicate, I can play rough, but I prefer more subtle methods of asserting my control, finding your weaknesses, your secret desires, what makes you melt, what would humiliate yet mesmerize, intoxicate, thrill and enthrall you, and help you achieve undreamed-of heights of sexual arousal, frustration and fulfillment, if I did it to you.

I am disease free and I expect the same from you. I'm also drug free and expect the same.

My sexual preferences cover a wide range. I enjoy excitement in sex. My past liaisons have involved sex in public places (e.g. late at night in a fourth-floor lobby while waiting for an elevator) where the risk of discovery was high enough to give us a rush. Two of the most amazing women I have known were talented dancers, and I redesigned the deck of my cabin to accommodate the skills of a particularly talented exotic dancer of my acquaintance. The deck, the hot tub by my tree-lined lake or the float in the lake make ideal sites for the thrill of outdoor lovemaking.

It is important to me to create an environment in which a woman feels secure as she strives to reach her full submissive potential.

If you are an attractive woman who seeks happiness, security and fulfilment in a relaxed relationship with an endlessly imaginative dominant partner who has been a world traveler and is now creating a sexual paradise in an unparalleled natural environment, why not come see what I have to offer you?

PS: I'm married, and I'm only really seeking married women, though I don't discriminate if someone single comes along. You may have noticed that I change my age from time to time. It depends on my mood. I hope you don't mind. I don't like people making judgments about me without knowing me. if my age is more important to you than my personality, appearance, intellect, ability or performance, we're probably not gonna get along anyhow.

My Ideal Person: I am looking for an attractive, intelligent woman who would like an improved sex life and is seeking a sophisticated, sexually creative and skilled master or partner whose libido is unquenchable. On balance I find that physical, intellectual, spiritual and sexual attributes mean more to me than age. I would particularly like to find a hwp female playmate who wants to enjoy various erotic arts, which might include such things as public display, casual nudity, constant availability and fondling, and could extend to humiliation, cock-worship, fetish- fantasy- and bondage and leash-and-collar-centered sex. Throughout my life, almost all of my female companions have been slender or hwp. I find that works for me, though I have also enjoyed the company of women of all sizes and shapes.

Pelosi Toasts Trump and the GOP

Nancy Pelosi has made the vote in Trump's Senate trial immaterial. With her deft selection of Impeachment managers and their made-for-TV presentations, Trump, his wanna-be's in the Senate, and his hapless defense team can only hope for a speedy end to their torture.

The real verdict has already been rendered by the TV audience. They see a mulit-recial, multi-ethnic, multi=gender team of erudite accusers presenting deep-cutting, riveting evidence of the former president's perfidy and desperation right in their living rooms where they are confined by the virus and they have already found him guilty!.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has moved with lightning speed to deliver another made-for-TV package with his flood of executive orders and precision execution of presidential action to demonstrate how effective government really operates and will operate under his direction. At the same time the voter mobilization efforts that delivered two Senate seats and control of the Senate to Biden's government are proceeding apace across the South in preparation for 2022. Desperate GOP efforts to tighten voting rules and disenfranchise voters are being overwhelmed by Republican demoralization and voter mobilization.

The writing is on the wall, and it's not pretty. Thawley and Cruz have hitched their wagon to a dead .

Got the Vaccine

I got my first shot of the vaccine Tuesday. Moderna. Piece of cake. Had drive 20 minutes to a supermarket. Lots of parking, no waiting. Took an hour and fifteen minutes round trip. I offered to help other people sign up who couldn't master the system. No takers so far. They seem to be waiting for the one-shot variety. I figure it's better to help stop the spread before the South African strain gets a foothold.

One of Justice Ginsburg’s most well-known dissents criticized a ruling that struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act. Shelby County v. Holder (2013) made it possible for jurisdictions with a history of denying voting rights to Black Americans to make election-related changes without first seeking approval from the U.S. Department of Justice.

In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg stated, “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Idiots are hereby relieved of any obligation they may feel to comment.

I have a dozen lovely red ripe tomatoes fresh from my 's plot in our neighborhood garden. They make a fantastic garnish for everything. The neighborhood library has been open for almost a month and I've even picked up a few books that interesting, even though I have quite a stack still piled around my reading chair like a bunker.

Our city government was diligent about shutting down for about 45 days back in April and they seem to have the virus pretty well in hand, a particularly challenging accomplishment since our streets have been the scene for a of Black Lives Matter demonstrations. But the marchers have been orderly and restrained, even when attacked at the instigation of the hopefully soon to be ex-president's minions and there has been no need for a re-imposition of more stringent measures. It's a shame our federal government is not as competent as our Black female mayor's government is. I even dodged the regulations and got a condo renovated and sold for top price right on schedule in April. I just had a new Amish-style storehouse built next to my cabin up in the mountains, and now that my eye doctor has given me the ok, back to swimming in the lake again. Saw a red-tailed hawk swooping low through the forest just above my head on Wednesday and another gliding overhead eyeing my trout and bass while I was swimming. We're even watching major-league baseball again, albeit on TV from empty stadiums. My team isn't winning as many games as they lose, but who's counting.

My World Champion Washington Nationals crushed the Yankees 9-2 in a real major-league baseball game. I love it.

It was the second game of the season. The Yankees were spared on Thursday on opening day when a thunderstorm shook Washington and ended the game after six innings. If the game had lasted a full nine innings, the scrappy Nats would have blasted them out of the park with one of their patented late-inning two-out rallies.

No fans? No sweat. We love our fans, but we won the World Series without winning a single home game. We can play in an empty stadium.

Anthony Fauci even threw the first pitch in the opening game. What's better than that? He threw the ball fifteen feet wide of the plate, but everybody knew he was just trying to keep it at a safe distance.

Play ball!

...as to be shot at without effect."
__Winston Churchill,
(the opening line of a dispatch he wrote as a newspaper correspondent in South Africa during the Boer War)

Where's the guy with the video phone when you really need him? 😉

I had the damndest experience yesterday.

I was walking downhill toward my physical therapy appointment to continue my work on my back and balance. Just as I was passing a young woman who was walking uphill , I tripped over a section of the sidewalk that had been forced up by a tree root. Instead of falling flat on my face, as I might reasonably have expected, I somehow managed to stay erect and, having no alternative on the downhill slope, instinctively started to run. My momentum carried me forward, arms flailing, at breakneck speed. The woman screamed. Another young woman about seven meters behind her screamed too and started moving toward me, trying to put herself in a position to catch me before I fell.

I kept running, on the grass now between the sidewalk and the street, and fixed my eyes on a parking sign that was directly in my path about six meters ahead of me. I kept running faster, knowing that if I tried to slow down I would fall on my face. My only hope was to reach the sign and grab it to keep myself upright. Damned if I didn’t reach the sign and grab it and remain upright just before the second woman got there.

I’m sure the two women were more shaken by the incident than I was. I only felt exhilarated to have survived without falling and splattering myself all over the sidewalk. They asked me if I was all right, and I responded yes and thanked the first woman for screaming. I said her scream had concentrated my mind wonderfully.

I did actually feel a slight twinge in my ankle, but it went away after I took a few steps.

I wish I had stopped and talked to the two women a little longer, but I didn't really want to be fussed over, and in any event apparently an adrenaline rush overcame me and I somewhat embarrassedly hurried on to my appointment with my physical therapist. 😂

I felt like I could run a hundred meter dash after that. I wish I had a video of that. I haven't run that fast since I was sixteen.

On my return I examined the sidewalk where I had tripped. It was raised about an inch and a half. I can only surmise that I was looking at the approaching woman and my face mask covered just enough of my downward vision that I didn't see the tripping hazard.
