Site Meter Reflections on Playboy: Happy belated birthday, Mr. Hefner

Happy belated birthday, Mr. Hefner

(Photo credit: BuddyTV.) On April 9, Hugh Hefner turned 83. I haven’t posted anything new on this blog in a ridiculously long time, since my personal life has been somewhat chaotic. Yesterday, one of my fans emailed, “Are you OK? You haven’t posted in three weeks.” I knew it was time to get back to work.

Will I ever forgive myself for so narrowly missing my chance to see Hefner in person? In March 2006, the Marijuana Policy Project gave him its Pioneer Award in recognition of his support of marijuana law reform. I attended the party during which he received the award—and I foolishly chose to take a break from the party while he made the scene. At the time, I was sitting alone in a quiet part of the Mansion grounds. Why, why, why? Damn, damn, damn!

Even as I struggle to get my life in working order, I can’t give up the dream of seeing him in person. It will happen. It must happen.
