Origins of Wedding Traditions

On the 25th of June I did a post called Views on Marriage. In it I describe a debate over dinner with S, R & SRD. We discussed how marriage is perceived and whether or not there is an alternative that perhaps might be “better” for the queer community.
Since then, S, SRD and a visiting […]

Defying Gravity

Living in the Northwest has many advantages and if you like the out of doors and activities such as hiking, this area is perfect. I do like to hike and we try to get out each weekend and being married to a mountain goat means usually a lot of elevation and distance. It is part […]

Rulz to Live By

Wisdom is such a cool thing. It does not belong just to one person or one social economic group. Not one race or religion or political party or even gender (sorry to my wonderful women friends that will question that last statement). Wisdom does not belong to the sage older generation or to the young, […]

Threatening Thong

Some people call them thongs, I call them g-strings. Why do I have the right to do that? Well, because g-strings are my preferred undergarments. The differentiation could be made that a g-string has a thinner piece of material going from the lower back through your cheeks, but the two words are often used interchangeably. […]

Views on Marriage

Before our Pride kick off, S, SRD, R and I went out to eat after a show at the Q Center Friday night. A heated discussion ensued. It was interesting takes on gay marriage.
S believes we have a unique opportunity to create something completely different and better than marriage. S, I ask you, what does […]

Two in the Bush

As adults, we try to (hopefully) teach our children to be respectful and tolerant. Few things are more horrific than finding out your child is the one who picks on the “strange” kids in the sandbox. If you don’t have children, you hope that the parents of the children around you are instilling some sort […]

Health Care Around the World & Tort Reform

I did a post on tort reform, Dirty Little Secret, and had a variety of responses. Some statistics say that 90% of claims are settled out of court. I am curious if this includes payouts for comprehensive, and how many of those settle before attorney’s get involved. Again, it’s the costs that the insurance […]

You’re Beautiful

This song by James Blunt has been around a while. Just as a refresher, he sees a woman in the subway with another man and thinks she’s gorgeous, yet laments that he has lost the opportunity to be with her. From this song, a number of parodies have followed.
My Cubicle - for all us working […]
