Halloween has always been my favorite Holiday. Godless heathen that I am, there aren't many holidays that don't have the flavor of one of more gods tainting them. That's all right. I love Solstice decorations, and even some Christmas decorations (I usu...Read More

Today, Lynne and I bought the most adorable Chihuahua. We found her through http://petfinder.com. She was from a mother that was rescued from a puppy mill. She is quite possibly the most adorable animal that we've ever seen. I'm really glad we are abl...Read More

When I was five years old, I over heard my older foster sisters (10 and 12) talking about going to a "Teddy Bear Picnic". I was so excited. I imagined that the Teddy Bears came to life and played with you. I begged them to let me come along but they wo...Read More

Nate, Lynne and I drove to Cincinnati for dinner with Deb and Tammie. Jasmine was going to come, but Rocky was sick. I understand completely. We had a lovely meal at a Thai place. We were completely full and getting ready to drive home. We were in fac...Read More

[clicky-click] For some reason, gay people and their friends are often in the service industry. Bartenders, waiters, stylists, airline attendants. You don't take advantage of these relationships per se. It just makes your life easier. One of my "Sho...Read More

  We had almost given up hope. My phone rang again this afternoon. Pete, the cook at Victorian's Midnight Cafe had adopted a stray from behind the bar last Thursday. It was Trouble! He's home safe and sound. He has a brand new collar, fresh pe...Read More

The nimrods from "Expelled " have a MySpace page. They were actually dumb enough to put up a poll "Should the theory of Intelligent Design be taught in schools?" Please go vote and let them know that you think. http://www.myspace.com/expelledthemovementRead More

Goodbye my childhood friend. You made me think about the world. You made me wonder. You made me thirst for more. I still re-read the paperback worlds you took me too, dog eared from their years in my pockets. At your feet, I met others. Asimov, Heinlei...Read More
