It seems July is nearly always a busy month for me, and this one was no exception. In the past couple of weeks I’ve hosted two friends (at different times), one of my favorite gentlemen, and an actress/playwright working on a dramatic presentation about the late Grace Bellavue. And that’s all on top of the usual work and the early stages of closing down my incall. As I’ve said many times before, I really am quite sentimental, so even though I don’t need it any more (and can’t really afford it, given that I no longer live in it), it’s hard to say goodbye to a place which holds so many powerful memories and served as my refuge from the noise and clamor of Seattle for five years. I’ve already brought many small items back to Sunset (such as these pillows Lilith is making use of, which those of you who have visited The Den may recognize), and in the next couple of weeks we’ll be retrieving the furniture, rugs, etc. As when I sold my ranch in Oklahoma to buy Sunset, it’s a bittersweet time for me. But as in the former case, I know it’s the right thing to do, and the furnishings will soon have a new life in the atrium and other parts of my home at Sunset.
