The Daily Dom: 52 Topics for Year 45

     We've only just begun & I've already missed a Daily Deadline, but that is to be expected as life intrudes.  I partook in three public movie discussions (one of which detoured into a BDSM discussion) o'er the week-end & that gave me little or no time to write in the dailyclam home office.
     "The Daily Dom" is intended for a general audience.  Active community members will find much of it to be old news & will disagree w/some of my conclusions & interpretations.  I'm an assimilationist & will maintain my out status as a domgeek & control freak thru thick & thin.  I hope "TDD" can function as a literary liaison between the BDSM & vanilla communities.
     I'm listing 52 topics w/BDSM-related themes for future posts in my 45th year.  I invite requests as I comb thru them o'er the course of 2k8-9.
