Not much in the way of news here. The ribs are still sore and are healing slowly. I’m sure they’d heal much quicker if I stopped training for 4-6 weeks, but since thats not going to happen I make due the best I can. I did cut down from5 days to 3 days a week. I’m getting antsy. I miss working out every day. I am thinking I should probably go for a run the 2 days a week I’m no longer training. I don’t really like running all that much, but it’s movement. And I can take Iggy with me too. I’ll just have to inure myself to the wet. Thats next week. I can’t even do any sit ups 
Katt did a small redesign of the Foot Fetish site today. We also ended up discussing use of pop ups. We use pop ups in two places on our sites - the first is on our top lists - the second is on the 404/403/401 error page that pop ups when people try to scam their way into the member area. Nowhere anywhere else on the sites do we use pop ups, because we hate them. Katt’s preference would be to get rid of them altogether, but without them, we’d lose 90% of our traffic, and we’d go broke real fast. It’s unfortunate, but this is the way that we have to do it if we want to be able to keep the sites stable. Paying for advertising just is not an option for us. Even search engines want us to pay 600US a year just to be listed. Fuckers. Ah well. Keep on keeping on, as they say.
I’ve been a little under the weather lately. My normally large sex drive has pretty much shriveled up it seems. I woke up a few days ago to a horny Katt and I just wasn’t there. Mind you morning sex is not my favorite in the first place. Damn gentalia just don’t feel much. Great hardon, but can’t feel anything. I wake up pretty groggy too, so actually concentrating on anything for the first half hour to an hour after I wake up is very difficult. I’ve always wished I woke up refreshed instead of feeling like a mack truck ran over me in my sleep.
I’ve had offers of play from a few different people lately, which has been great. Interestingly enough I haven’t really been in a play headspace with persons other than Katt lately. I have some rather intense reservations about getting involved with people on a play/sexual level right now. In my last poly experience I felt like I was literally being asked to tear myself in half to try to meet the needs of both people I was involved with. I don’t want to have to deal with that again. The thought that someone could potentially want more than I am willing to give (which is not that much right now), freaks me out a little. Hence my great hesitance towards getting involved with anyone. One way relationships just aren’t my thang.
I’ve met a number of new friends lately, which has been really fun. I’m liking the platonic nature of the friendships I’ve made. It’s nice to be able to hang out with people without the expectation that I’m going to sleep with them. I get a lot of that from being so visible on the web. People somehow think since I run porn sites that I’ll fuck anything or anyone that moves. Ptttht. Thats my witty retort, says Bill the Cat.
Yeah… so I’m pretty content being where I’m at and I’m always open to my boundaries changing, which they often do. I’m just in one of those places in my life where I need more personal space than usual.
So I’m going to be redesigning all of the various sites soon. I have been experimenting with CSS and various other programming methods and I think I’ve come up with some really nice designs. I just need to work on some graphics and go from there.
Our traffic has gone down quite considerably, so I’m thinking I need to start advertising again and getting my butt in gear. Traffic always goes down over the holidays, but we need to keep it growing so we can keep expanding the sites. I wish I could afford to advertise on yahoo and the other adult places that send out a lot of traffic. As they say it takes money to make money!
The other thing on the agenda is more photo shoots. We’ve fallen way behind and are barely keeping up with updating even semi regularly. Another reason for falloff I’m sure.
Redesign, more porn, and advertising. Yeah.
Ack, my top bar is out of alignment. You have no idea how frustrating that is. it means I have to write something, or go and fiddle with html code (which is the less preferred of the options).
I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my intellectual and physical performance. I’m one of those people that is never satisfied with my performance no matter how well I do. What I have learned to do, however, is harness that energy to make myself better. In the past it worked against me because I’d get frustrated when I didn’t live up to my expectations and do something else instead. Add to the mix persistence and dogged determination and we have a winning combination.
I have started reading Stephen King’s new book, “Wolves of the Calla”, part 5 of the Gunslinger series. Yummy book. I love that series! All the authors I like are releasing new books for the coming holiday season so I figure I’ll have a fair bit to read until at least March!
Speaking of the holiday season - Christmas displays have been up since late October. Blah. 2 months of Christmas is just too damn much. It’s been so over commercialized, which is understandable because 90% of stores would bankrupt without the holiday influx, that I’ve lost the taste for the holiday season. I am going to try this year though. I’ll see what I can do about changing from the Scrooge hat into the Groovy holiday dude hat. Hey, some good ideas for photos with that one; what *can* we do with a candy cane? Hmmm.
We saw “Elf” last week - it was better than expected. I like Will Ferrell, but generally dislike most SNL cast movies, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Lord of the Rings is coming out soon. I’ve heard they’ve cut the scenes with Sauruman out of the third movie. How dumb! I want to see Gandalf kick Sauruman’s ass and then watch as the Hobbits go back to the Shire and kick his and Wormtongue’s ass out of there. Fuckers. I am really hoping to see Gandalf and Frodo sailing off like they do at the end of the book. That is a favorite part for me.
The on again/off again condo reno plans are somewhat on again. We both figure we’ll be here for a while, so why not spruce it up a bit for ourselves. Our current ideas are to renovate the kitchen and put new cabinets and coutners in, and get rid of the stove and put a micro/convection overn in instead and just have the built in hot plate so we can use the space the stove was in for more storage. After that We’ll put in laminate floors. This will be a slow project. It’ll be expensive and we’ll have to see how much cash is available after taxes have been paid.
Off to bed to read s’more.

The comments are back. So simple to fix when the brain is working!
Busy, sore, active Wolfe. That’s me. And somehow much less verbose than usual. Lots of training, lots of reading, website design projects on the go.
Life is going along very well right now. The ribs are almost healed. House is clean.
And I am out of things to say!
My comments don’t seem to be working and I haven’t been able to figure out why yet.
I haven’t felt like writing lately either, so keep checking back and maybe I’ll hafe something to say by then!

I just thought I’d share the view that I’m seeing from my computer chair when I look outside.

I was going to write this introspective entry, but changed my mind.
Needless to say I think I need to practice being more casual and friendly in various environments and open myself up to introducing myself to people ratehr than playing the waiting game. I’m also realizing I’m not sending the message I want to be sending to people when I first meet them in the getting to know them stage. I was asked by a new friend if I was ever silly and I got to thinking about the energy and body language I’m putting out and how it might be counter productive to my goals. I’m a very silly person when I’m around people I know well, but rarely around people I’ve just met.
Yeah, so I’ve been pondering perhaps working on being less of a tight ass.
:crazy:

Wow. What a whirlwind of a weekend. Peter drove up from Seattle for the BIO Logical weekend. He arrived Thursday afternoon and he and I went to the airport to pick up his lovely date for the weekend, Koi. Once we got back from the airport we went out for dinner and spent the rest of the evening relaxing. On Saturday evening Katt and I went to the BIO play with Peter, Koi, and our new friend, h. I had a lovely time caning, paddling, flogging, and smacking Katt’s lovely chubby bottom.
On Friday evening we finished Katt’s cage/bondage bench. A submissive of her’s came over with the final two pieces to complete it, then Katt and I upholstered the top for maximum comfiness. It takes up too much space in our small little place to leave assembled, so we will just continue to store it intil we need to use it.
It was a fun weekend, and I’m absolutely exhausted. I’m looking forward to a restful sleep tonight - I need it!

So I screwed up my ribs worse tonight. I was doing some work that requires quick trunk rotation and I felt another snap. Funny enough 9.5 times out of 10 whatever I’m doing is fine, but it’s the other .5 of the time that it hurts like a SOB. Right now my ribs are sticking out on my left side about an inch where they’ve snapped in a nice little triangle. I’m going to my family Dr tomorrow to get her advice on the best way to deal with it. I need to be able to train for the next few weeks. After two weeks I can take a break, but for these two weeks I need to be able to practice every day of the week. I’m hoping taping them up will be sufficient. If not, I’ll have to figure something out. I know that if I keep on training without some sort of taping or modification that I’m just going to make it worse. I’m in more pain that I’d like to admit, but as they say, pain is a state of mind. If I have to train, I’ll work through it and rest in 2 weeks time.
Fuck. Not good timing at all.
