For my birthday, we rented a cabin in sunny Marin County. Simultaneously, we rented out our place to a very nice international gay couple who were probably hanging out for Pride Weekend. Zero cost weekend get-away. I constantly want to…
Burning Up
Quick note to say that I woke up yesterday not feeling well. Went to work, struggled, then went home around 1pm. I laid in bed with a fever for the rest of the day and night. Couldn’t move, couldn’t eat,…
Fashion Friday: CakeStyle

American Idiot

Father’s Day
Father’s Day, this year, was overshadowed by my cousin’s senior recital. She graduated from high school, is involved in the arts, acts in plays, and plays the piano. In addition to her school degree, she got a music degree. I…
Yes! Yes! Yes!
No news on the pregnancy front, but something almost as good. I discovered a new creation, the birth if you will, of Radio Silence magazine. I’m not sure how I heard about it, maybe because I’m looped into the SF…
Fashion Friday: Haircut
I’m getting my haircut and I don’t know what I want. I love love love when people do drastically different things with their hair. It’s very long for a while, then they chop it off. So few people do that….
