So.  DK asked:

I would like to know more about you and Antonio. Outside of this past visit, he seems glaringly absent from most of your posts. I want to hear more about your feelings about this relationship; the good, the bad, and the ugly. That’s what I want to hear about.

She’s added to clarify, at my request: 

It *feels* to me like you’ve been filtering what you write here regarding Antonio over yes, the last several months. Like you don’t want to open that can of worms. And that is of course your right; it’s your blog. But, you asked!

I had asked if she meant ALL my posts ever, or just recently.  If she’d said all my posts ever, I would have scratched my head and said “Buh?”

However, she said recently. So I’ll say this:  She’s right.

And I’ve got a two-post marathon of over two thousand words detailing WHY.  However, I’m sending it along to Antonio first, because I’m uncomfortable talking about him at such great length without giving him a heads-up and the opportunity to veto stuff.   This is just to say I’m not avoiding the question, it will be answered soon, somehow!  

(And I’ve got pictures for VFFF from yesterday and I’m taking them today.  It’s just such a pain in the ass to post ‘em so I’ll do yesterday AND today at once, tonight.  Okay?  Okay.)
