Shakespeare IS the gay agenda! 

My dad died on May 29, and my life will never be the same. I'm 51, so on the whole, I was blessed to have that many years with him, but I'm still crushed. I'll forever be haunted by the fact that I never got a chance to see him. My kids and I drove 800 miles to see him Memorial day weekend, but things took a drastic…

Shelter Cat Update!

I don’t really gay it up, but everyone should feel free to gay as much as you want to. This time next week I’ll be up in Wisconsin, visiting with my aunt & uncle and my sister and brother-in law and my bratty niece and nephew.

Tom Holland seems like such a sweet kid

My kids are now fully vaccinated. They slept over at a friend’s place last night and then swimming today. It’s the first time I’ve been alone for more than a couple of hours in nearly 18 months. My godson is vaccinated and graduated HS this week. I’m going to spend a few days in Maine in about 3 weeks bc the boys will…

Update to last week:

Hello! As of yesterday I am fully vaccinated! Woo hoo Panama; lots of Latin America unfortunately remains in the weeds, virus-wise. Panama is doing well getting its people vaccinated, with free shots for everyone over 30 in a lot of locations around the country. So I’m going to drum circle on Wednesday for sure,…

I think that Shakespeare, done well, always has room on a gay agenda.  Beyond that, follow your kid’s guidance and you should be fine.

Soooo, we had us some weather ‘round these parts. Tornado warnings, storm warnings, flood warnings, all the damn warnings. We managed to avoid swarms of locusts but only because of the torrential rains. Seems calmer now though my phone is still constantly beeping. We went from hot humid drought conditions to flooding.…

No gay activities over here, I finished a book, and am reading another book on my back porch right now, the wind out here feels really nice. I hope everyone out west is is keeping cool. It’s not too hot here in Southern New England, but the humidity is kind of oppressive.

Does it count that I got really into cycling in my forties and I consider the implications of everything?

Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well. Exciting developments over here as we are going to view a house for the second time tomorrow. Pretty sure we are going to put an offer down! It needs to be rewired and has a bunch of other issues (because it’s 98 years old!) so hoping we can come to an agreement with the seller…

In any other line of work, taking photos of someone’s remains and sharing them with friends and coworkers would have you out on your ass so fast. My wife is a surgeon and my best friend works for a crematorium and deals with corpses all the time. If either of them did this, their jobs would be gone in a second. But of…

Somebody recently wondered out loud (on social media) what people did before air conditioning. I responded “probably quite a bit of opium”.

Whiskey. Lots of it.

My rule has always been the ac goes on Mother’s Day whether we need it or not. I have to admit I’m scared what my next electric bill will be. I have never had to run the ac all night as I have had to this year.

I really try hard not to complain about the heat because I live in Arizona willingly. It was 115+ this week, so not complaining has gone out the window.  Monsoon season hasn't started, so we do have the lack of humidity working in our favor, but there isn't any way to make 119 comfortable. 

Forgot to mention the results of the repeat mammogram and ultrasound: I have three small masses, all less than 1 cm and all right next to one another, that appear to be complicated cysts (meaning they have thin, pliant walls, but there are bits of what might be solid debris inside instead of the clear fluid found in…
