Be Back in a Few...
I'm going to have to take a break, dear readers. Lots to accomplish this week, so I gotta prioritize--especially if I'm going to avoid another meltdown like I had last week! Also, I'm getting ready for my weekend in Cherokee, NC, and I'm very excited...
The Coast, a Concert--and Roses!
Had a great time this weekend--some shopping, a fried-seafood lunch along the waterfront and saw Gloriana in concert! It was so nice to get away. I did miss my partner some--it seemed everything I saw and did reminded me of him, and it was sad that w...
The Moon, the Fog, the Light ... and Leaving for the Coast!
Don't know about you, but it just feels like fall is quickly approaching. Yesterday, while driving home from work, I noticed the quality of the afternoon sun seemed different; it had that slant you get in late fall, and just the way the rays played o...
Being Led to Cherokee
With all the emotional turmoil in my life right now, I'm trying to focus on the good things I want. One of those would be a trip to Cherokee, NC. I just love this beautiful pic of a Cherokee dancer. And it seems I'm being led there by some mysterious...
Headed to the Beach--Wonder What Will Wash Ashore?
Oh, look--an injured mer man has beached himself! Perhaps my kiss will restore his health and fins, and he will carry me away to his underwater love grotto out of eternal gratitude. Hey--it happened in "The Little Mermaid," didn't it?!But yes, I'm of...

On the Road--Away for a Bit
Have a work-related conference to attend, so I'll be out of town for a day or so. I may get a chance to post but not sure. Feeling a bit behind everything right now and in a hurry. Wasn't it the rabbit in "Alice in Wonderland" who said, "I'm late! I'...
American Tourists in Cuba: Blessing or a Curse?
Heard today that a group of 20 U.S. Senators are calling for a repeal of the 47-year-old ban on American travel to Cuba, which I think is a good thing for everyone. But then some dimwit--er, Sen. Chris Dodd, had to position it this way:[The proposal ...
Obama Stands Up for Families and Eases Travel Restrictions to Cuba
Thank heavens these restrictions are finally being rolled back. Back in '04, Bush had instituted a tortuous policy that made it illegal for Cuban-Americans to visit their relatives still living on the island except for ONCE EVERY 3 YEARS. Why? Well, ...
Senegal: Hell on Earth for Gays
Thank goddess I don't live in Senegal (but then my sex life is hardly "evidence" of anything!). Nine gay men there have been jailed FOR 8 YEARS for "indecent conduct and unnatural acts." (Thanks WickedGayBlog!)I couldn't find anything that said exact...
