1. On the road with a bunch of crazies (Please feel free to repost or pass this along.) - - - - - - - -1. ON THE ROAD WITH A BUNCH OF CRAZIES By the time many of you read this I'll already be heading down the gorgeous California coastline with 3,000+ cyclists. No, I'm not cycling. I'm not that crazy! I'm part of the "Roadies". We're 500+ people that do a lot of the behind the scenes and not-so-behind the scene jobs to help the cyclists through the 7 day trip. On AIDS LifeCycle we make sure that if you're a cyclist, all you have to do is to bike, and bike a lot, through cities, towns, farms, hills and flats, tough sections and sweet sections. We are the food servers, the rest stop workers, the bus drivers, the motorcycle safety crew, the bike techs, the luggage handlers, the camp makers and more. I'm on the "Sweep Team." We're a crew of 15 mini-vans with two drivers. We make sure that the cyclists are safe and if there are any problems we pick them up and take them to the next rest areas. We also help to keep the cyclists' spirits up and remind them of safe cyclist laws and manners. I think the cyclists are crazy - just plain nuts. Some of the days are over 100 miles of riding. They hurt, they cry, they endure. They have to train all year long, fund raise, put their gear together and then keep up their spirits to get up at wee hours and pedal, pedal, pedal. Some people ride because they want to challenge themselves. Some people ride in the memory of someone they've lost to AIDS or other illnesses and tragedies. (There was that woman who rode in honor of her surfer boyfriend who drowned during riding the waves and had an epileptic seizure. There was the young woman who rode for her dad who died of AIDS related complications.) There are the Positive Pedalers who ride strong with grace against the cold hand of death and evil of ignorance. Many are not natural athletes or strong cyclists by nature. They are ordinary folks who each train and persevere and achieve something remarkable with deep generosity of spirit. So my job is, for 8 days, to put aside life's petty daily worries and to be in service to a greater cause and be with a whole lot of really amazing souls. I want to thank everyone who's come to support me in so many ways this year towards this important event. It's a project near and dear to so many of us. Along the ride we'll meet remarkable residences of the towns and villages we pass through, and do a lot of person-to-person outreach and connection. Each day I'll be voice and text blogging, about twice a day for a few minutes each, about the ride. You'll meet some of my old and new friends. You'll hear tales of adventure and the heart. You'll hear me emotional, from elation to exhaustion. It'll all be "work safe", so I hope you'll stop by and listen or read. Here's the blog
I won't have any net access but you can send me notes, messages and words of support. The ALC tech geniuses
make the daily messages available for us at the end of the day at camp - every day. I'd love to hear from
you. Here's where to do that: Wishing you peace, pleasure and joy! Midori = = = = = 2. ROPE BONDAGE DOJO ® STAGE II REGISTRATION OPENS JUNE 6! The much-anticipated Stage II Dojo is finally here. For those who are interested, please note that the registration process is different than for Dojo I.

They are, however, keeping my old columns in the archives with photos. I really enjoyed my writings for them and the editorial freedom, so I hope you'll enjoy the archives as well. Diva's Debauchery In the mean time I continue to write for various other publications. ~ Men's Health magazine in UK features me as their monthly sex advisor and problem solver in "Ask Midori". Social Kink has me as their featured blog columnist. This month I wrote about "Your Dirty Mind and World Peace". Last month I wrote "Suitcase Dungeon: The Traveling Kinkster?". Next month I'll tackle the topic of "Dominant or Just a Jerk?". My monthly column in Bondage.com often gives me a chance to engage in educational smut fiction to include medical play, electrical play, and upcoming episodes on role play and the single tail! = = =
