With everything that has been going on in my life and the emotional roller coaster I have been going through, this blog has fallen a little to the wayside. I will be trying to get some posting started again. It will be sporatic at first and then maybe a little more regular later.
Thanks to [...]
My life-partner’s mother was diagnosed last year with a terminal cancer. She was given two months to live. Sadly, she passed away last week. She lived 9 months and three days past her date of diagnosis. She will be greatly missed, but I am greatful for the time I was able to spend with her [...]
Somehow, someway it seems that Chumby has arrived and she (he?) even has a blog. The company that makes this little gadget is actually encouraging people to hack it. I love the idea of something that was made to be improved upon by others. Great concept, great down-to-earth marketing, and great overall design. Apparently [...]
I had to verify that the information I was reading earlier today was correct (as best I could) before I was willing to believe it. Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter and Director of the Australia Zoo, has passed away. I just can’t believe that he was killed by a Stingray when he has been [...]
Today I knew I had officially become old when the words “I can’t believe that it is already September” came out of my mouth in public. At least I know that I can know look forward to many more days of tired cliche’s and colloquism (is that even a word?) in the future. I also [...]

It seems to me that being a lesbian and being a proper lady are not mutually exclusive, but Mattel thinks differently. In this day and age, aren’t women allowed to be whatever kind of women they want to be and still be seen as “proper”? What is this world coming to when Barbie can’t [...]
I have been out of town most this week in West Virginia on business. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try out some of my mobile blogging. However, the trip ended up being so busy that I never had a real chance. Between the early morning flights and the all day (and [...]
This morning proved to be very interesting. Went out motorcycle riding with the love of my life. We each have our own motorcycle (neither of us are inclined to be the bitch on the back very often) and we each drove our own today. We were just tooling along - merrily minding our own business [...]
I spoke with my brother this evening and he is doing better. He is still in the hospital, but he should be released tomorrow. His spirits were up and his sense of humor was completely unaffected by this whole thing. He did manage to point out to me that this was the first time in [...]
