Prop 8 ruling interview with WJET TV 24

It was disappointing, but not unexpected about the California Supreme Court upholding Proposition 8. Thankfully, they didn’t invalidate the existing 18,000 marriages.

I got a call from WJET TV 24, who wanted to do a story. I had guessed that it was likely that local news would want some reaction. I thought that they . . . → Read More: Prop 8 ruling interview with WJET TV 24

A rather booked weekend

I was going to go down to Vertigo in Butler this past Friday. They have just moved into a new location. I got on I-79 and was heading south. Then the car started making an intermittent jerky motion, which got me distinctly nervous. At the Saegertown exit, I decided to turn back. Drat! I . . . → Read More: A rather booked weekend

Farewell to Rosalie Struble

I was saddened to read of the passing of Rosalie Struble. From when I was 13 to when I was about 20, I was a news carrier for the Erie Times News, and for the first several years, Rosalie was the person that I would go to on Saturdays to settle up after having . . . → Read More: Farewell to Rosalie Struble

Small things to be grateful for

The guy in the next cubicle was calling in an order for lunch. I am not sure where he was calling, but he requested an entree that made me guffaw.

I feel deep gratitude that my work vocabulary need never include (even in its most remote periphery) the phrase "Cluckmeister"

That is all. I . . . → Read More: Small things to be grateful for

Madonna and lover Jesus to swap vows in Kabbalah service – mirror.co.uk

I must admit that reading this headline got a giggle. ("Okay, not THAT Madonna and not THAT Jesus, even though the respective ages aren’t far off.") And Jesus converted from Catholicism to something vaguely Jewish. Hmm, didn’t it go rather the other direction with the more well known Jesus? I must admit that the . . . → Read More: Madonna and lover Jesus to swap vows in Kabbalah service – mirror.co.uk

A day with Mom

I took the dogs over to Mom’s and we had a very nice day together. The 4 dogs (my two and Mom’s two) had a wonderful time running around.

We also went over to visit Grandma and her husband, which was okay. We left the dogs in the yard while we were over there, . . . → Read More: A day with Mom

Einstein’s phone number

Okay, this caught my eye. I must admit to being disappointed to read that Einstein’s number was 2807. It really should have been 3622, so it could have spelled out EMC2 (E=MC2) on a modern phone. Oh well.

I also must admit to thinking of what would have been Eva Braun’s online handle; SwaztikaGrrl? . . . → Read More: Einstein’s phone number

Star Trek nerdiness

Yeah. Pretty geeky, but fun. I just noticed the eyes tend to follow the mouse cursor.

World Belly Dance Day

I had a fairly nice time today at the World Belly Dance Day at Presque Isle Gallery & Coffeehouse. Both of the dancers who were there when I arrived were very good. I saw my friend Sharon and her mom and a belly dancing friend of Sharon’s, so I sat with them and had . . . → Read More: World Belly Dance Day

Quip at Beltane

I went up to Brushwood this past Saturday to celebrate Beltane, which tends to draw a fair number of folks. James rode along with me, since he had never been there before. Thanks the Gods for GPS receivers! (I have been there, but I get confused/lost.) It turns out that it was James’ first . . . → Read More: Quip at Beltane
