Better Together

Slave's 10 day hiatus at our SW hideaway comes to an end tomorrow. And while I've had fun with some of the locals, gotten lots of exercise, and stuccoed my parapets, it's just not the same here without my firm but fair Mistress as a source of warmth, contentment and amusement.  There are no tanning curves to secretly photograph, no clean shaven folds to worship, and no one to share my table with, whether I'm cooking at home or out on the town.

The strangest part is that Mistress is off at several Kenyan "camps" in the bush these last few days, totally off the grid.

It's been since last Thursday that we've actually spoken, and all I've heard from her in the last 48 hours was abbreviated email. While she's given me lots of rope while we are away, even wanking off daily, as she has directed, has gotten  dreary without her to supervise. I'm sure some of you perpetually under lock and key would describe that "burden" as a "first world problem".  But it's a whole lot easier to have conjugal relations with a hot wife every day than  to go solo. It might have worked for Paul Simon, but maybe I'm the Art Garfunkel of that duet!

(I do have to send a thank you to a reader who suggested  V.T. Burnham's book "the Uncertain Cuckold",  for providing a little fuel for the imagination in my quest to follow Mistress's orders. While the sexual action may be a little far fetched, Vaughn  provides some compelling accounts of a wife tormenting and teasing her cucky hubby as she frolics with one of his friends.)

The bottom line is that Mistress and I  are indeed, "Better Together" separated by 9 time zones. Ironically, "better together" was/is  the campaign slogan of the unsuccessful "Remainders" who lost the Brexit campaign, as well as former first Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Both campaigns have argued that bridges are better than walls, that love trumps  (pun intended)  intolerance, and that you can't turn back time to a nation that was whiter and less diverse.

 English voters seemed to think that we may not be "better together" after all, though the folks in Scotland and Northern Ireland disagreed.

Of course, it's naive to think that in every circumstance, we are "better together". Some relationships may be better to be put in the rear view mirror. I'm thinking:

1) As a (lapsed) Catholic of Irish ancestry, it's a conviction imbedded in  my DNA that Ireland  would be better without the English oppressors clinging to the north. So will England now try to build a wall to keep those European Irish out of the north half of their shared Isle?

2)  Scotland  also might be better off no longer tied to their supercilious English neighbors. The Scots have whiskey and oil to sell. The English have Benedict Cumberbatch and Downton Abby reruns.



3) Cher clearly was  better without Sonny.

5) On the other hand I'm not convinced that Julia Roberts is better off without Lyle Lovett.



The jury is still out on whether  Donald "America First"Tump and  Boris "Brexit" Johnson, who seem to have so much in common, will be better with or without each other:
