Out and Equal Part 2 Friday Breakfast today was a real treat. Billie Jean King was the keynote speaker at this event, and she spoke about her life. I had no clue that a lot of her action was responsible for the adoption of Title IX, which I also learnt was not just related to… Continue reading

Out & Equal
Well time to catch up with my blogging. For those that don't know, I've been volunteering my time with Out & Equal to maintain their website for the last 18 months or so.

Never enough time
I've been absent. I'll be posting something soon. Does this count as a post?

Empty Houses
Well Andy left today. The house is going to be empty without him. It's kind of fun to just chat with him, and get his view on things, in his Alabama way of thinking. I hope it is not as long between visits. Chris keeps suggesting we drive down that way one day, and I… Continue reading
