I’ve had a long standing desire to be as paperless as possible. With today’s technology there are very few reasons why there is a need to actually keep paper — yet we still have an abundance of it arriving in the mail each day, or being dragged home from the office. Years ago, I read… Continue reading

Starry Navel Gazing
There are moments in your life when you have to just stop and think for a short time. Do you ever get those? It could be about times that you need to make a decision about a new job, or buying a new car, or just one of those many “things” that cause you to… Continue reading
DOMA Unconstitutional
Edited post from my Facebook: Today’s decision completely changes my and Chris’s life together. For over 14 years, I have found (legal) ways to remain in this country to be with the man that I love, and create the family that we have together. This has involved student visa’s and temporary work visas, in many… Continue reading

For many years, I experienced some major conflict on the whole marriage thing, as I didn’t see the point in doing something that offered… Continue reading
RIP Bosley
Today (December 25, 2012) at around 2PM, we said goodbye to our dog Bosley. Everyone has milestones in their life, and one of mine was Bosley becoming part of our family. He was my sweet little floppy eared dog, and gave love freely and without any conditions attached. Today has been hard, but both Chris… Continue reading
Politics is personal
As the eve of Election Day draws to a close, I am sitting here perplexed by the state of this nation, and the people who live in it. For many of my friends (both real and Facebook), I am hopeful that I seem to be a reasonable person. I consider myself a progressive and have… Continue reading
