    He looks like an itty-bitty scruffy hipster! I LOVE this picture.

    I totally see the lyrical, politically insightful, emotionally expressive, acoustic guitar-playing heart-throb in there behind the organic butternut squash. But then maybe I’m projecting.

  3. 3 Liza Oct 16th, 2007 at

    No no, I see it too! I see as-yet-unborn teenage girls swooning and melting into those eyes. Maybe boys too, but for whatever reason, in this vision, I’m seeing girls.

  4. 4 LesbianDad Oct 16th, 2007 at

    Well, dear Liza, dear Liza, I’m afraid you and I are both fairly out in the open on this one: with visions that entail swooning, we tend to see girls. I’m just saying.

    I’m glad to see we’re not the only ones who let our son’s curly hair run wild.

    He is absolutely, adorably cute.

    Thank you, Chris. I sez, let ‘er rip. I’m thinkin, early Robert Plant:

    I may encourage him to button up his shirt in public, though. Except on hot days and in discotheques.

    Thank you, DG!

    I write it religiously! Even if oftentimes I am Fallen, and can barely get up. (You should see the backlog of unwritten essays circling the airport of my mind! Whadda mess!)

    Stand by for cheese-bag PhotoShopped image of a butternut squash with angel’s wings.
    (When time permits.)

    And yes: thank the goddesses the beloved got a little likeness off on one of her spawn. Eighteen months heaving and ho’ing them around, plus squeezing each one of ‘em out (@ 9lbs each!). She’s gotta get some kinda bennies.

    Robert Plant? I was gonna go more with a Woody Guthrie vibe?

  10. 10 LesbianDad Oct 17th, 2007 at

    Yeah. I guess not so acoustic. But Woody’s hair isn’t frizzy enough. Mebbe Bob Dylan?

  11. 11 violetta Oct 17th, 2007 at

    Mebbe Cate Blanchett at Bob in the upcoming “I’m not there”?

    I bet you could toss together a Bob Dylan halloweenie outfit with guitar, shades, harmonica and brace plus matching black pants and pea coat.

  12. 12 violetta Oct 17th, 2007 at

    Oops crikey meant Cate “as” Bob…the perils of posting swiftly @ work.

  13. 13 LesbianDad Oct 17th, 2007 at

    Sorry I didn’t catch that. Perils of moderating swiftly @ work. Really I strive to be a gracious host, and fixing typos ought to be included along with tasty appetizers, appropriate lighting, and the right kind of background music played not too loudly.

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    From "Gay marriages in California surpass those in Massachusetts,", Jessica Garrison, on 7 Oct., 2008, at the Los Angeles Times.



    Data released Monday (6 Oct 08) by UCLA's Williams Institute found that an estimated 11, 000 same-sex couples were married in CA since June 17, when the court began to allow them. (Since May 2004, over 10,000 have married in Massachusetts.)



    Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church in La Mesa, who has been rallying voters to pass the constitutional amendment, said: "The fact that there are big numbers doesn't change the reality that it is still bad for the country."



    Garlow, who along with hundreds of other Christians, is observing a fast until election day as a way to show his support for the proposed amendment, added: "There are enormous numbers of people doing cocaine right now. . . . Simply because large numbers of people are doing something does not make it right."
    "Foes of gay-marriage ban say poll shows Prop. 8 leading," by Jessica Garrison, 8 Oct., 2008, in the Los Angeles Times:
    The opposition has enjoyed a healthy lead in several surveys taken by polling organizations that do not have a stake in the campaign. But officials with the No on 8 campaign held a conference call with reporters Tuesday to announce that their own poll showed the measure would pass by four points. Opponents attributed the result to fewer television ads, which is, in turn, a result of the No on 8 campaign falling behind in fundraising.
    From Geoff Kors, Equality California, in an email to EQCA and No on 8 supporters, 7 Oct., 2008:
    Our worst nightmares are coming true.



    Today we learned of the massive $25.4 million our opponents have raised so far. They are using this war chest to broadcast lies: 24/7 and up and down the state of California.



    And the polls show the lies are working. We need your donation now.



    Yesterday’s CBS 51 poll shows that:



    “…likely California voters overall now favor passage of Proposition 8 by a five-point margin, 47 percent to 42 percent. Ironically, a CBS 5 poll eleven days prior found a five-point margin in favor of the measure's opponents.”



    People change their minds about Proposition 8 when they hear the lie that churches will lose their tax-free status if they won’t marry same-sex couples – EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT TRUE!



    So this is crunch time. With less than a month before the election, we must get on the air now to answer these lies and swing votes back to our side.



    And the ONLY way to do that it to raise more money. The generous $15.8 million that our supporters have given isn’t enough. Not when the other side has nearly $10 million more than we do and the fundraising gap is growing.

One of the odd things about this (for those who aren't eyeball-deep in it all, like us) is that a "NO" vote is actually the positive, love-affirming thing to do. "No" sounds so negative, doesn't it. Of course, also,
