Recently I had the great good fortune of being asked for advice by a dear friend of a dear friend of the beloved.  We bonded in a hot tub in Idaho, over a decade ago, both there for the wedding of a friend.  Under the stars, we caustically competed for who felt most likely to [...]

Not particularly committed to being upright. (Image from back last November.) This reminds me of thoughts I thought the first time I was exposed, daily, to a person this age. Recorded here.

In honor of Memorial Day, a sweet image of DadDad’s love (about a year ago). He’s the only family member to have seen war (WWII, D-Day on a navy ship, the works). And I dearly hope it stays that way. [Food for thought: this Pacifist's Memorial Day Pledge, from someone on Democratic [...]

This archival pic’s from last fall’s Halloween Block Party. She’s chilling, you know, in between terrorizing people with her fierce dragon breath or what have you. Slightly (but not that much) more revealing angle of fierce dragon action here. O, what I could do with a costume like that, in the right [...]

Lil’ monkey, nearly two years ago. Now this pose is her brother’s. (With doggie now an angel at his shoulder.)

You’ll never know how much baby-generated dinner table detritus your dog is taking care of until she’s gone. Though you’ll probably know how much you love her before then.

    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:

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
