Chatting with mom and interesting selection of holiday cards

I just had a lovely conversation with my Mom, and things are looking good for a nice Christmas day together with friends and family.

A rather surprising ride home

My car was in the shop for some body work, and I wasn’t certain when it would be ready. I knew that I had to run a meeting at 2:30, and was hoping that I wouldn’t run into a conflict with that. The garage called at about 12:40 or so to let me know . . . → Read More: A rather surprising ride home

I went to this lesbian holiday party, and all that I got was sausage

The title foe this blog post really needs to read like a T-shirt. I had a wonderful time today at the 4th Annual LBT Women Holiday Party.

A wonderful time at A Very Goode Christmas at PACA!

I decided that I was going to catch the plays by Jeff Goode at PACA (Performing Arts Center & Theater) last night. The first act was the screamingly funny The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.
