julz91julz91: Just met our new supreme overlord (i.e., VP). He seems nice, and more importantly, he seems to know his shit.

Money Makes the World Go Around

Berry Pond ~ Pittsfield, MA We are, as of Thursday, exactly two weeks away from my new contract kicking in. This means that on October 12, Julie will be getting a nice big check that includes retro pay from the past four years. Well, sorta. 2% of the raise apparently goes right into my union’s [...]

This is August 1

Something that worries me: they’re actually announcing on the radio that the air will be unsafe to go out in from noon until 6 PM today because of smog and ozone and all sorts of nasty things mixing.  I believe the exact words were “Stay inside where it’s airconditioned.”  While I had fully intended to [...]

Happy 4th of July!

“I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival,” John Adams wrote his wife, Abigail. “It ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forever more.” John [...]

Oh, the places you’ll go

Theater facade ~ W. 44th St. The changes, they are coming.  Last night I went to Barnes & Noble.com and ordered an overdue birthday gift.  While I was there, I checked out Barnes & Noble University, which is absolutely free (the books cost money, the classes don’t).  And I hit on a course called Writing [...]

Spring awakening

Bear torture ~ W. 44th St. There are so many things tumbling through my head lately. Posts, half-posts, partial-posts, non-posts. Thoughts about my future, my career, what the hell I’m doing with my life (or not doing, as the case may be). If we’ve been given talents (and I do believe I’ve been given several, [...]

Happy Solstice

Well, I planned to write this at the exact moment of the Solstice, which according to my Queer Eye For the Straight Guy daily calendar was 1:35 PM, but at that moment I was working on knitting my first sock. So, plan B. I write this as it starts to get dark. It’s the Winter [...]

Imagine

Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NYC Yesterday I was just not meant to post. Our new supreme overlord (Big Big Boss) was touring the offices yesterday morning, and there was no way I was getting on the net when he could walk by at any moment. His tour took up the entire morning. Then it was [...]

Thank you, Rosa

Fifty years ago today, American history changed when one woman refused to give up her seat to a white man. Sometimes I wonder what that white man, who obviously felt entitled to the seat, thought when it happened. Probably rage. How dare this black woman take away something that was his right? He probably felt [...]

A moment

Pastoral. Lake George, NY. It’s November 11, the great unmentioned holiday in New York City. I kid you not, this city takes Columbus Day off but Veteran’s Day goes by with barely a mention. This pisses me off to no end. Where I grew up, we had the day off school for Veteran’s Day. Those [...]

AIDSWalk New York

This is me asking for money for a good cause. In a few weeks, I’m going to be doing AIDS Walk New York, a massive fund-raising walk benefitting the Gay Mens’ Health Clinic. This organization helps men, women, and children who are living with AIDS. Despite the fact that we don’t see a lot in [...]
