a word of explanation (for those who like that kind of thing...)

We can't quite remember the first time we heard ourselves referred to as "out there", but it seems as though a great many of our family and friends share this opinion.

It started with simple things...

a T.V. program we liked, "Oh, you watch that? That's out there."...

a musical genius whose work we worship, "Christ, you listen to him? He's out there!"...

an author whose work made us roll around laughing, "You read that? Man, she's twisted...way out there."

And so on.

So we decided to embrace the label, appropriate it as our own and run with it. Most of the writings you will find on my page are far from what I consider out there, especially since I prefer the subjective and narrative voice.

Which I suppose makes it much more in here than anywhere else.

Oh, and in case you're wondering if I will continue to bounce back and forth between the first person and the plural; the answer is a resounding yes. It's not so much a question of multiple personalities, (though there is that...) as it is one of partnership. Nine years of marriage tends to blur some of the distinctions between I and we...there, I've made my disclaimer.

But it is still my page...and you're welcome to the latest incarnation of it.

...which really is out there.
