Is this legible? If not, just go to Bellini’s Here and Now VLOG Blog to get the scoop. This evening he’s posting an interview he did this afternoon with NGLTF’s Matt Forman on the strategic questions regarding to include T, or not to include T, or how to include T, if to [...]

At right, from Mama’s cellphone camera: Sister lords it over the brother at the YMCA’s Kindergym.

    Lesbian Dad 101

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.
