This is a political post. Please scroll down.                                   Just six weeks into 2022, more than 150 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across the country. And guess what? ALL the bills have been introduced by the Republican party. ALL….

In 1967, my next-door neighbor, Mrs. Tuholski, said to me: “Ross! You’re ten today! Congratulations.” I didn’t feel excited. And, without thinking, I replied: “I’d rather be forty.” She gasped, and slapped my upper arm. “No! No! These are the best years of your life! Enjoy them!” I thought: “These are the best years?” For, my…

  Normally, I would have called Justin, and we would have had it back up within days. But, he’s been totally unavailable. I managed to get a lot of it rebuilt. But I only finished today. I feel very manly. It helped that it was in the 60s today. This will plummet to 16 on Thursday. So,…

On a daily basis, I am watching…with absolute horror…as my country is being destroyed by the Republican party. Just over a year ago the whole world also watch in horror as Republican terrorists stormed the US Capitol intent on overthrowing an election and murdering people in Congress. Since then, we have all now learned of…

…that Betty White and Sidney Poitier are knocking down drinks in Heaven and sharing stories. Laughing.      

I skipped school a lot when I was in 9th grade. I couldn’t deal with the constant bullying. “Fag! Queer!” But, if a student missed a day, they had to have a note from a parent the next day. Of course, I could do no such thing, so I created the notes, and signed them…

Fifty years ago, Norway decriminalized being gay. Fifty years ago. As a 64-year-old gay man, I well remember how important it was to hide, for many decades, who I am. Well, the Norway Postal Service decided to celebrate this important 50th-anniversary with an extraordinary small film. I have never seen anything like it. With each…

This is a post about America. Please scroll down if interested.                                 There’s zero question in my mind that if, during a Make America Great Again rally, a Black man had shot two people dead, and seriously wounded another, the same…

In 2018, I did a post about the latest cat in my life, New Kitty. You might enjoy re-reading that post. Julie had found the homeless kitten, and contacted me to see if I knew of a home for the poor creature. My reply, after a deep sigh: “Bring her to me.” Thus, New Kitty…

When I get really busy working on restoring lights, I normally shove the debris which piles atop my desk to the floor. After  a few days, I pick all this up and toss it into the outdoor garbage can.     On another note, I have not seen Gray for two days. I am a…

Today, while on a road trip, I drove into a very small town in Kansas. Glancing over to my left, my eyes bugged out, I let out an OMG, and slammed on the brakes. For, on the corner, on an overgrown lot and obscured by trees, was unmistakably a house by architect Charles Squires. Who…

This is a political post. If interested, please scroll down.                               Today, Senate Republicans…all of them…blocked a bill to raise the federal debt ceiling. Two things to note: This is not about future spending. This is about current debt. Which Republicans…
