I’ll never dance with another

Next weekend is big ol’ sibling reunion time in Madison, Wisconsin.

i am a visitor here … i am not permanent

it has come to my attention that i have been lacking in my detailing my mother’s love life. i mentioned that she’ll be moving out in two years and that i’d like to move in. i didn’t explain why. so here is the answer:
she is getting married.
again.
background story: i don’t remember my parents ever being [...]
