It's Spring in Bloomington -- a bit early. We had 80s three days in a row recently, scares me for August and September. The crocuses came up a little later than usual (long cold spell), but the daffodils are up early (early hot spell). Now it feels like April.

I've been silent because my world has been rocked and rolled for the past few months, in a way that involves the privacy of several other people and I wasn't sure what to say here.

My partner (of 11 years) and I broke up, slowly. I discovered that I am polyamorous. I'm buying a new house. My partner and I seem to be able to be friends, which is always my preference.

More than that I can't say here, now. I can say that if all the women involved in my life are happy, then *I* am happy, and that seems to be the case right now.
