This week marks the second week I have been the mother of a preschooler. So far, Adrian seems to be enjoying it. Of course, after Week 1, he came home with a cold (which he promptly gave to everyone else in the house). Ah well. Hard to believe he'll be five soon ( Read more... )

Wow. Apparently, there was a three-nation GLBT activist march that went on here very recently. So far as I know, it hasn't gotten any balls rolling on turning things around, though. It's kind of too bad they didn't think to invite the Americans to the party.

But, don't feel too bad, fellow Yanks. Save the date, because it's our turn again on ( Read more... )

First off, the news you've all been waiting for ( Read more... )
