I had told Maureen that I would teach an English Country Dance for the PFLAG Fundraiser at Trance on Saturday, August 6. Yeah, I know it’s geeky, but I thought that an act with some participation might be a change. I had a few CD’s, but I most wanted to do Sellenger’s Round, since . . . → Read More: All set for PFLAG fundraiser next Saturday

So, we finally set it up that last night was the initiation for me to become a first degree Gardnerian. It went fairly well, and everyone was very nice and friendly. The odd thing is that I had what I thought at the time was a first degree Gardnerian initiation back in January of . . . → Read More: 1st Degree Gardnerian and an online chat

We finished up doing the August issue of Erie Gay News this weekend, and I have everything all set for the folding/distributing work party tonight. I am hoping that it goes okay. We have been slowly adding a few distribution points, and Wes, who has been fabulously helpful with taking around copies, is out . . . → Read More: Newsletter done, T-Shirt received

Well, it looks like I will officially be a Gardnerian Wiccan as of this Saturday. I set this up recently with the High Priestess & High Priest and it should be fine. I am looking forward to it. Not so much because having an external label is some kind of validation, but just to . . . → Read More: Initiation set for Saturday

Wow. My friend Paula sent me the gem above. Sort of a window into gender roles. I commented back to her that one could just replace the housewife with an inflatable date that could cook and their wouldn’t be that much difference. Sure, supporting one’s spouse and being happy to see them are . . . → Read More: Housewife manual from 1955 – wow.

Oy. I noticed an occasional drip-drip sort of leak in the ceiling of the kitchen, so I called the plumbers, who stopped out today. (Cute guys, but that wasn’t the point.) It turns out I had a leaky shower and there was some major problems resulting. Joy. Since I had to stay home anyway, . . . → Read More: A really expensive day off

So after reading this article about dork/nerd pride, I took the One True Geek Test. I know I did well on computer stuff, but I am not into gaming. I actually thought that the geekiness rating was rather low.

Just when you think you can’t possibly be shocked, there comes something like this. Antigay superstar Senator Rick Santorum’s chief of staff and communications Robert Traynham just came out. (And I am laying odds that he was probably close to being outed. Read the comments – that sounds like a man trying to head . . . → Read More: UNBELIEVABLE internalized homophobia

I had gotten up earlier today to let the dogs out, an then laid down for a nap. (I frequently sleep in shifts.) After getting up, I went to hug my cat Henry, and recalled having a weird dream I had just had. I should mention that my 2 current cats are both neutered . . . → Read More: Weird dream about cats and kittens

Oy! We are having a problem at work with a piece of software, so I called up the company’s tech support line. I am currently on hold with possibly some of the whitest, most Caucasian Muzak EVER! Something like Mitch Miller, but not so hip or contemporary. It’s like being trapped in an elevator. . . . → Read More: Dance to the Muzak!
