Putting Your Balls Out on the Internet

We've been amazed and delighted by the responses to the post about my little Christmas tree and all the stories that go with its collection of ornaments. Over and over again, people have told us how touched they were by the sharing of such "intimacy."

Wow!

It is so neat that people appreciated all my little stories. I am somehow drawn to the sense of connectedness that springs up from that bit of sharing of family traditions and stories... the "meaning of trinkets."

I do have to say, though, that we've laughed about it all a bit -- especially about the sense that this particular post somehow shares "deep intimacy." After all, you all have been privy to pictures of my naked hide, my loopiest moments, my deepest fears, my grief, my anger, and my worst failings. You've been right there for fistings and spankings and you've shared the ups and downs of my spectacularly erratic sexual responses. And, after all of that, you all feel like stories about a few Christmas ornaments constitutes deep intimacy?

Alright then... if I'd known, I'd have put my "balls" out on the Internet a long time ago :-D
