Re: [UUPoly-L] how were your poly holidays?

[Jens Wennberg <jens207@gmail.com>]

Happy New Year all:

I / we continue to explore new ground in our relationships.  A year ago
Sylvia, my Other Significant Other, came to New York City and had Christmas
dinner with my wife and our friends there.  This year we have moved back to
Ithaca New York and she came to visit us here from Boston and join in our
community Solstice Celebration.  This was the first time she has met all of
our "real community".  Some of them know about Sylvia and others do not.

On Sunday we went to church.  I introduced her to the minister as my friend
Sylvia - he politely shook her hand - then I said this is my other
significant other - he took her in both of his hands and said he was so glad
to meet her.  We will have to talk again soon. <grin>

Peace and Joy

Jens
