christmas vacation!
We’re finally to the point in our Christmas vacation that we don’t have to be anywhere at any particular time. We’re just taking the days, hours and minutes as they come. That’s not to say that the busy flurry of the holidays at the front end of our vacation weren’t wonderful. They were fantastic, filled…

#2…complete
No, not that #2. The #2 on my list of 37 things to do in the year before I turn 38. Today, I made lime jello! As I was thinking today about jello, my thoughts went back to my Grandmother Derr, or Grammie as all the grandkids called her. It seemed like all the family…
photo from christmas past
I’ve been in the process, for some time now, of scanning all of our old family photos that my mom and dad took when we were kids. I was looking through them this morning and came across this Christmas-themed shot. I can hardly remember a time before artificial christmas trees, but I guess it did…

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.
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…
the journey has just begun
So today marks the end of my 12-week Weight Watchers session at work. I’ve lost 16.6 pounds in that time. Less than I’d hoped, but hey an average of a little over a pound a week is not too bad. Clothes aren’t fitting well, I’m down a pants size and at the last hole on…
