We are devoting ourselves, our relationship and our lifestyle to being an out-front monogamous Master/slave couple living and working LeatherFetish 24/7. Our intention is to signify and facilitate anyone to step-up, step-out and follow First Mind. In short, "Do what scares you the most". Live and love in life completely - however that is for you.

We appreciate your support and your sponsorship as we travel the world over during the next year and a half. Here is our partial itinerary. For the most part we will be driving, so we would enjoy your hospitality along the way.

WINTER LIFE
Note: Expanded diary entries will appear soon... After returning from our successful workshop at Butchmann's/Palm Springs, in November we pretty much hunkered down for the winter - which here in the woods translates to RAIN - well over 50 inches! That's what makes it into a rain forrest. We are situated On Higher Ground well above the flood levels - and yes, it did flood! We're 15 miles from the ocean; but only 35 feet above sea level. It's hard to tell because of all the mountains around us which is what causes the perfec weather for growing grapes. This is the biggest grape growing agra-business area in the world perhaps. And so that's what we did some: Go wine tasting - at Korbel which is here in town. And all over the next valley to the East, NAPA County, with friends who came to visit from around the country. We've had visitors from Palm Springs and Pittsburg; boi rodtney's parents from Sacramento, and from our new neighbors locally. We stay'd dry and cozy but with plenty of intrusion by a new foe: Mold. We fought the problem off with hair dryers running almost 24/7. The trailer leaked not a drop! We drove on every road in the county. The beauty is absolutely stunning. We took hundreds of pictures with our new Sony Mavica digital camera and put them into electronic photo alblums which will be up here for you to see just as soon as we can get to it. Our 'trips' have been to San Francisco - about every 5 - 7 days. The Van is perfect for day trips. We've attended every meeting of M.A.s.T. and continued our attendance at East Bay Church in Oakland although not every week. We'd love to go more. The holidays were spirited and amplified by great ritual: Thanksgiving, Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanze; New Years, my birthday next to Valentine's Day, and the fall and spring solstices. Life is good. All the time: 24-7/3-6-5! It's funny. I didn't cook for years. Now it's great fun. Roasts, pies, and pizza. Yep, we both put on weight. So now we're riding the bicycles and planning regular canoe rides on the Russian River. This place is full of wild blackberry bushes so we'll have plenty more pies all summer when we return from the midwest. In March when the rain stopped for a few days and the sun came out, we took off to Clear Lake, some 60 miles to the north. It is fantastic there, the largest natural lake in California. It's at 1,100 feet elevation with snow capped mountains all 'round. The lake was flooding like everywhere else. This is one of the reasons we went at this time - to find out where NOT to park the RV 'cause we want to live right on the shoreline. And there it was: An island with the perfect spot in a mobile home park. It was necessary to drive right through the lake to get out there. Now imagine this: Here's this cute little 30' trailer coach - all painted up red and white. A private dock space. Cost: $2,000 for the trailer and $265. a month rent! We were ready to do it then and there. Be it hasn't happened' yet. Maybe a little too far out of the City - we'd probably only get to San Francisco about once a month. So we'll wait awhile. Maybewe'll find a resort of our own to buy. Gonna check out some more spots and hopefully move next fall. It's all gonna happen in it's own time! Durng the Winter, I became involved in a major brouhaha over Diversity in our community when I inadvertantly discoveredthe cancellation of the "Minorities in SM" panel at the forthcoming LeatherFest X in San Diego. After 250 e-mails and over 40,000 words everything turned out for the better when the forum was reinstated. It became an internet consciousness raising session that moved clear across North America and back again. I took some of the energy generated and wrote an essay on Diversity which has been published an available here at LeatherWeb for you to check out. In fact, we now have been asked to host not one, but two receptions during the weekend ; one on People of Color and one on Diversity. This is a good thing and we sincerely hope they will be well attended. ALL ARE WELCOME!
