Holiday cards and dogs

In what has become a sort of tradition for me, I took some photos of the fireplace/mantle with holiday cards, and the dogs hanging out.

Off to visit friends later this evening, and maybe dance a bit.

Gay objects in straight homes

I went to a very nice Pagan social thing last night. There were quite a few folks there. When I walked in, I saw that there was an ornament/decoration hanging from the ceiling fan near the buffet table:

Yes. It is what appears to be an Absolut Vodka redone as a disco ball. . . . → Read More: Gay objects in straight homes

Terms for partner

I had a fairly good time at the Men’s Greet ‘N Chat on Thursday. One of the guys there was a lawyer. We were talking about the person one is in a relationship, and the lawyer said that he tended to use the term “lover.” The issue he ran into was that when he . . . → Read More: Terms for partner

PRIDE News scanned, first article posted

Technorati Tags: Erie Gay News,PDF

Oy. I am still being a major obsessive-compulsive and scanned in (as PDF’s) all of the issues of PRIDE News (about 12 issues – it existed from 2000 through 2001.

I can’t believe I scanned the whole thing!

Technorati Tags: Erie Gay News,OCR,PDF

How I spent my winter vacation: I scanned in as PDF’s the first 7 year run of Erie Gay News (1/93-12/99). I figure that is 84 issues and somewhere between 1600 and 2000 pages. Ouch.

I also made some modifications to the code for the pages to handle . . . → Read More: I can’t believe I scanned the whole thing!

Priests brawl at Jesus’ birthplace – CNN.com

Wow. Is it even possible to be more solidly in the “You’re missing the point!” category than this?! Priests from rival sects of Christianity brawling like hooligans. At a church. Where Jesus was supposedly born. Jesus is frequently referred to as the Prince of Peace. I am just imagining him rolling His eyes . . . → Read More: Priests brawl at Jesus’ birthplace – CNN.com

Apparently, I am a sound sleeper

I have always thought of myself as a relatively sound sleeper. I basically got confirmation of that today. I had been up for a bit this morning, and then went back to sleep. Heracles generally sleeps to my right and Hecate sleeps on my left. Henry decided to brave the dogs and sleep in . . . → Read More: Apparently, I am a sound sleeper

Bette Davis stars in 2008 postage stamps – Yahoo! News

Clearly, if one is a campy old movie queen and a  philatelist, this is pretty much nirvana.

A further thought: this is apparently a fixed rate stamp (41 cents) and looks like Bette Davis as Margo Channing in “All About Eve.” If the rates go up, the stamp that makes up the cost difference . . . → Read More: Bette Davis stars in 2008 postage stamps – Yahoo! News

Dinner with Pagan friends and scan, scan, scan

I went to Selkie and Dylan’s tonight. A covener who had moved away was back in town with his boyfriend of 8 months. It was great seeing Taliesin again, and the boyfriend was very nice. Taliesin is vegetarian, so we tried to have that kind of food available.

Christmas at Mom’s and her new sewing room

It was a very nice day. I picked up my Grandma and her husband, Mac, and took them over to Mom’s for Christmas dinner. Mom had made Cornish game hens, which were yummy. My stepfather Carl had just redone an upstairs bedroom to be a sewing room for my Mom, so she was showing . . . → Read More: Christmas at Mom’s and her new sewing room
