This past week Greg and I got the outside of the house all readied for the Christmas season. Still haven’t put the tree up inside yet. I’m not sure if I want to. We may just deck the mantle and call it a day. I did check out a beautiful array of poinsettia at a…

holidayfest fireworks
After a great Thanksgiving visit to Greenfield with Greg’s family, we met friends in downtown Akron Friday night for the kick off to Holidayfest. The show ended with a nice fireworks display. This gave me chance to finally use the fireworks setting on my camera. I could use some more practice with this setting, but…
blimp over the u
Greg and I did a little exploring around Akron this afternoon. First, we headed to The University of Akron campus to check out the new football stadium. All the while we were tailed by the Goodyear blimp, constantly monitoring our movements. Later we hiked one of the new portions of the Towpath Trail at Summit…
pumpkin shortage, my…
Just about daily, there’s been a report on the news about another grocery item “shortage.” First it was canned pumpkin puree now it’s Eggo frozen waffles. Well dang it, I have plans to take a pumpkin-eggo waffle pie to take to Thanksgiving dinner at Greg’s family’s. Just kidding about the waffle part of the…
a walk in the national park
This morning, a beautiful for November kind of morning, Greg and I ventured out to the nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our goal was to get to the Ira Road Trailhead and hike the towpath from there for a bit. Now here’s an interesting fact. The Ira Road Trailhead is not actually on Ira Road….
Mike's rant of the day
It’s a pretty quick rant today. I’m tired of people using the term “hubby” to describe their husbands. Maybe I’m just a tad bitter because I can’t legally marry my partner Greg and refer to him as my “hubby”? Though I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t. It sounds so juvenile. If you’re old enough to have…
mission complete
This past Sunday Greg and I completed the Summit County Metroparks Fall Hiking Spree. After false starts for the last 9 years, we finally saw the process through. We went beyond the minimum eight trails required; and hiked every last one on the list. It’s given us a real sense of accomplishment. I picked up…
a family visit
My sister and her family came up on Saturday for our annual pumpkin carving extravaganza. This year we began the visit with a short hike to the park for a chilly cookout and duck and goose feeding at the pond. It was a lot of fun.
the march
It’s been a couple of days since the National Equality March in D.C. It was an amazing day. To see all of the people, especially the families and straight supports. For a couple of hours, I got to hold Greg’s hand in public, and not fear for our safety or receive disapproving glares. We just…
off to Washington, D.C.
We’re leaving tonight and heading to D.C. for Sunday’s National Equality March. I’m looking forward to marching with my partner of nearly nine years and our friends. It’s time that gays and lesbians in committed long-term relationships be able to marry, just like our straight friends and family members. It’s about dignity, respect and equality…
