God help me; I'm bland

I have noted of late several blogs showing a rating. Curiosity led me to find out where I might stand. The result:
Online Dating

Mingle2 - Online Dating



How terminally dull of me. The only consolation is that it could have been worse. One mention of "the infernal regions" and two mentions of "enhanced interrogation" got me the PG-13. I euphemize here lest I receive a harsher rating just for this.

I shall try to be more startling in future.

Paul darling, you could never be bland.

XOXO

A friend of Jane R's needs help with bland?

Ya need but ask.

Well, since my beloved ex and Jane both doubt that I am really bland, it must not be true. My mother, on the other hand, bless her midwestern soul, thought I was dull and once even bought me some "gay" sheets (I was living in West Hollywood at the time, need we say more?). We shall discreetly draw the veil over the results of mother's thoughtful deed.

johnieb, thanks for the concern!

If I wrote more about politics on here than I do, the rating would head beyond R quickly.

Saw "Ratatouille" yesterday and would that Jane and all my fellow foodies were with Bill and me to share the experience and talk about it after.
Cheers,
the BB

It now occurs to me that my usual venue will not show Ratatoille; this may mean a trip to the dreaded multiplex.

Yer a foodie, too? I shoulda guessed, the way you talked about that first tomato of the season: me; a little more oil and no pepper, but the season in New England doesn't start till August. The berries are copious, so I'll make do somehow.

How many blogs can a man write?

johnieb,
I have no idea. I can barely write one. Bearfeathers was set up as a vanity showcase for my artwork: photos, paintings, icons, poems, and eventually it got the children's story that was the genesis of a series of fantasy fiction that I was working on as your comment arrived.

All my active posting these days is on BB and I find trying to be a more faithful poster quite demanding. Then again, I have written many long, rambling comments on a local listserve lately. (All that alliteration betrays my past as a Baptist preacher.)

How could I have lived near the Gourmet Ghetto of Berkeley-Oakland and not been a passionate foodie. I have this very evening seen you posting about pissaladière on Grandmère's blog in May. Would that we could all get together and cook for each other. Jane whips up a mean omelette.

Do you have a blog? I did not see a link when clicking on your profile.

I harvested half a dozen cherry tomatoes this morning to share with friends. Putting off kitchen duty until it gets a bit cooler this evening, then time to make potato salad for tomorrow.

Happy 4th! May the People prevail!
