  • Sister's Wedding Report

    (from Wednesday night) Sitting here at the coffee shop. Ron is across from me reading the latest Men’s Health magazine and learning how he can accentuate the parts of his physique that his girlfriend is most likely to like. We just got back from dinner at Mars – I had the Szechuan chicken. I got […]

  • Out and About

    In probably the smoothest event of being outed ever – I was officially homosexualized to the sister of my one of my best friends from high school. I haven’t really ‘come out’ to most of the kids I went to high school with. I figure they’ll figure it out when I show up at a […]

  • Cuddle Party

    I’ve always wondered if this existed. An event for adults to get together and explore affectionate touch and communication without it becoming sexualized. Maybe next time I lose my job I can be a cuddle escort. No sex – just spooning.

  • Weekend Seminar

    I’ve been at a seminar all weekend and reporting out on a separate website. Day 1: Have You Chosen to Do Something Great? Day 2: What other people think of you is really not your business. Extra: Smack on the Forehead Day 3: Today!

  • Ethnic Stud Name Generator

    Seyd (he blogs in English, Spanish and Hindi – such a show-off!) pointed me to Rum and Monkey’s Ethnic Stud Name Generator. I turned out either Hernando Abrazo or Hernando Rodriguez. I already feel ethnically excited! I do wish that it would pick up if someone submits their last name and it’s considered ‘ethnic’ enough […]

  • Agnes

    I was telling Anthony at dinner Tuesday night that I needed to go home and visit my grandmother. I’ve written about her here many times before. She’s now 96, nonverbal and mostly cloudy in a long term care center in Louisville. Still when I look into her steely blue eyes I can tell she recognizes […]

  • Young Boys Sodomized in Abu Ghraib

    Seymour Hersh says the US government has videotapes of boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking. [There was a] massive amount of criminal wrongdoing that was covered up at the highest command out there, and higher.

  • Thirst and Water Privatization

    Ron (who has a closeted love of PBS) and I watched Thirst a documentary on the global trend of water privatization. Essentially, multinational corporations are trying to control the very essentail elements required for health and life to exist – all under the guide of cutting profits and saving money. The documentary was absolutely fascinating […]

  • Orrin Hatch on Marriage

    And the wisdom just keeps tumbling out of CSPAN: (via The Burnt Orange Report) The bedrock of American success is the family, and it is traditional marriage that undergirds the American family. The disintegration of the family in this country correlates with many serious social problems, including crime and poverty. We are seeing soaring divorce […]
