I may just love California right now.
For the past 2 days I've received a flurry of emails & calls & hugs from friends (and even a couple of family members) with congrats on the Same-Sex marriage verdict.
Many friends have been asking when we're going to have another wedding. This is a little hilarious. While we will certainly legalize our marriage ( Read more... )

My grandpa passed away yesterday afternoon. The service is tomorrow AM. A flight from LAX to CVG starts at $1500, or 50K flyer miles.
So I'm not going to make it.

I miss my family.

Been a while since I've updated. My how time flies; somedays it crawls ( Read more... )

I'm loving Spring. Lots of social stuff going on. Saturday we went to Grace Slick's gallery showing in Laguna Beach with a bunch of friends, and my lovely wife and I bought a print!  We got to meet Grace, and she signed the back with a nice message. Doubled-signed art rules. There was also a lot of fantastic rock and roll art, but this was the one ( Read more... )

I love the nearing of Spring. I can feel myself re-awakening, and I can see light in my eyes again. Spring is a very subtle affair in LA, but I can still feel it in my bones. I miss the tumultuous weather, followed by tiny light green buds that dare to emerge on skeletal looking trees, and tender shoots of baby grass that beg not to be trod upon ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I have some good ideas for groups, & I'm tired of being on the sofa. I'm actually just tired of being tired, although I'm still quite tired. I stocked up on fresh fruits & veggies at the store today; I'm craving vitamin C now ( Read more... )

Finally feeling human again. Nasty, nasty sickness for nearly a week. Just as I started to feel slightly less horrible on Friday, my wife comes in mid-day with a fever so I run her down to the Dr., and have been balancing getting better and taking care of her, because she's still in the "please shoot me now" phase of it.  Meh.

OK- this is gonna ( Read more... )

I AM THANKFUL:
FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES ( Read more... )

Well, I had a mini-mini-meltdown last night/this morning. I've been very excited that this year is our 10th anniversary of being together, and Jan 22 marks 10 years to the day of when we met. It feels like a major accomplishment to me, and we're both very happy about it, and plan to celebrate quite a bit ( Read more... )
