It's been an interesting couple of days down here in St. Pete (as it is known to the locals). Chris and I got here Thursday to the lovely rain storm that was courtesy of TS Arlene. Of course it lasted only until we woke up this morning and the sunshine was streaming through the windows… Continue reading

Thanks to Andy for this link. I figured that given we are in St. Petersburg, I thought I should post this link about how the county wants the library in the area to remove some gay pride display. Shameful. Just saw a TV trailer for Bewitched. Two words: June 24 (okay that is three words).

After a frantic start to my day (that is, waking up), I am sitting in St. Petersburg (not Russia, but Florida) at our friends Tim & Kate, and their new(ish) baby, Isaac Daniel.

“Texans have made a decision about marriage and if there is some other state that has a more lenient view than Texas then maybe that's a better place for them to live.” – Gov. Rick Perry My thoughts on this are to offer to help Gov. Perry move out of the Governor's mansion.

Call me crazy, but I've decided I'm going to run for the CCGLA board again this year. There is going to be a large turnover this year, as all the original board members terms are up, leaving two remaining directors, and a vacancy that has remained unfilled for a while. I guess there will be… Continue reading
