Some “must-have” “essentials” according to a very large name-brand bridal site: garters. No I will not be performing this ritual. Sorry. a baseball cap that says “bride” on it. Uh, no. a reception party music CD. For people who don’t really have any musical taste and just want something nice and generic. Essential! a wedding […]

I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around how to plan a wedding. Without of course, hiring a wedding planner. What do we want? Where? How much money do we even have? When? How many people will we invite? Invitations? Food? Photographer? Flowers? Rings? All these little details which are important. I am leaving out […]

Kerry and Edwards both beat Bush in hypothetical elections according to polls released today, crushing him by 8 or 9 percentage points. I love that story. This just means we must continue to get the messages out there about the value of Kerry and/or Edwards, and the lies and evil of the current office-stealer. Can […]

The unknown pain in my left hip socket is back. It is actually aggravated and made worse by movement, so I am prevented from training, exercising, or doing yoga. This is all so frustrating I don’t even know what to do. Also my fucking healthcare clinic never answers the phone nor do they return messages, […]

I got engaged on Saturday!! And I couldn’t be happier. There is no one I would rather marry than Brian. We are going to look at engagement rings tonight — no big gaudy overpriced diamond for me. I already have my eye on a lovely blue sapphire ring. Our wedding will be small, non-traditional, and […]

Gay couples being legally married in my city with the blessings of my city officials is the happiest news I have heard all week, maybe all year. Can the power of love really destroy hatefulness? Only if we believe it can.

I woke up at 6:45 this morning to let the cat out of my room and to go pee. On the way back I noticed a pink light filtering through the shade in the eastward-facing office. I went in and drew the blind up. The sky was a vast palette of orange and pink, from […]

My crosswalk had the right of way, so I walked. But a car nosed into it as I reached the other side, blocking my way to the opposite curb. I hate that fucking shit. Some guy, needing so badly to turn right on red, right this instant. Worse, he rolled down his window and made […]

I had so much work to do today. I finally finished it. I ended up getting my lunch at 2:00. In the elevator on the way back to my office, I rode with the old guy who founded my company 35 years ago. He wanted to know what was in my sandwich. I haven’t had […]
