Know thy neighbor indeed


Here's a website I just heard about today from a nice couple we met last week--Dennis and Jim. They have a little boy named Joshua who is exactly Koby's age. We sat around and ate lunch, talked about potty training and daycare while the kids frolicked in the inflatable pool. Anyway, check out this site.

KnowThyNeighbor.org is a grassroots, non-profit organization promoting dialogue on marriage equality in Massachusetts and advocating for the removal of governmental barriers to public information by providing meaningful access online.

I said "cheese," not "cheesy"


We had had as much as we could by this point. It was time to go home.

No sight of Jake or Heath


Dining at the Brokeback Mountain cafe

Just like riding a bike


My brother will be so proud to see me on a bike, even if I do look more like Suburban Hausfrau than Speed Racer.

Survivor: Freeport, Maine


Damn the rain! OK, everybody to their positions. Tarp? Check. Big pink umbrella? Check.

Baby on Board--and he's driving


Only 13 more years, little man...

No love lost with the AFA


Believe it or not, the following is copied verbatim from the American Family Association website:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does AFA Hate Homosexuals?
Absolutely Not! The same Holy Bible that calls us to reject sin, calls us to love our neighbor. It is that love that motivates us to expose the misrepresentation of the radical homosexual agenda and stop its spread though our culture. AFA has sponsored several events reaching out to homosexuals and letting them know there is love and healing at the Cross of Christ.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Radical? Agenda? Indeed! If we are radical, the AFA is certainly more so. The AFA, along with many other right-wing organizations using religion as their recruitment platform, is waging war against "Our Agenda." What is the agenda, you ask? Well, here it is. Get on your workboots, Myrtle. It's going to be a long day.

6:00 am Gym
8:00 am Breakfast (oatmeal and egg whites)
9:00 am Hair appointment
10:00 am Shopping
12:00 pm Brunch

2:00 pm
1) Assume complete control of the U.S. Federal, State and Local
Governments as well as all other national governments,
2) Recruit all straight youngsters to our debauched lifestyle,
3) Destroy all healthy heterosexual marriages,
4) Replace all school counselors in grades K-12 with agents of Colombian
and Jamaican drug cartels,
5) Establish planetary chain of "homo breeding gulags" where over-medicated, imprisoned straight women are turned into artificially impregnated baby factories to produce prepubescent love slaves for our devotedly pederastic gay leadership,
6) bulldoze all houses of worship, and
7) Secure total control of the INTERNET and all mass media for the
exclusive use of child pornographers.

2:30 pm Get forty winks of beauty rest to prevent facial wrinkles from
stress of world conquest
4:00 pm Cocktails
6:00 pm Light Dinner (soup, salad, with Chardonnay)
8:00 pm Theater
11:00 pm Bed

So, I guess I should comfort in the fact that the AFA "loves" me so much. It just doesn't love my family.

Be careful of the horns


This won't make the green card come any faster, Dennis.

Finally, the drapes match the carpet


I've seen Christopher with every hairstyle known to man or beast (literally). But this one takes the cake. Seriously, though, it's for a good cause (I should hope so!). Check out this link to make a donation.

Camping is not just about being campy


Why is everyone in Boston so surprised that I know how to camp?
