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

I really should not be surprised when these things happen. I got a call from a reporter for one of the local TV stations. He told me his name and which station, and I internally thought “Aha!” and then I just asked him when he wanted to talk about the Supreme Court hearing of . . . → Read More: TV Station Call About Supreme Court Same-Sex Marriage

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. There was a gift exchange, and because I am the most unfabulous gay male in the tri-state area, I ended up dashing up to K-Mart at a . . . → Read More: I went to this lesbian holiday party, and all that I got was sausage

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.
