cutest ever…
…well at least until we start to get all of the family photo cards. Those are pretty cute too. Got my cards in the mail today, and received this lovely-looks-good-enough-to-eat-card from our dear friend Michele. Looks like she likes the glitter too. It really made me smile on such a cold and dark and rainy night….
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…
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…
perfect summer salad
I’ve been wanting to make Big City Chophouse’s Chicken Caprese Salad for some time now. Sadly, It’s no longer on the menu. My friend Sarah and I would get it when we met there for lunch. I think I got it right tonight. I started with locally grown yellow and red tomatoes, grilled chicken, fresh…
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…
morning photo project 8.16.2009
We biked a nearly 20 mile trail Saturday with our friends Tom, Brett & Bill. It was quite a trip. We started in Fredericksburg and traveled ten miles to Millersburg, stopped for lunch, then headed back. Oh and the trip back had a gentle incline most of the way. It was cool sharing the trail…
morning photo project 8.15.2009
We celebrated Megan’s birthday at the newly opened P.F. Chang’s in Fairlawn. The dinner and service was great. And the company of everyone there to celebrate Megan’s special day was wonderful. Today, Greg and I are joining friends for a nearly 20 mile bike ride through Amish Country. I hope I don’t have to avoid too…

So last week, my friend Michele and I had the privilege to see and hear Ingrid Michaelson live in the 91.3 the Summit studios. She did a “rap” remix of her hit The Way I Am. It was genius. I found a YouTube video of her performing the song for another radio station. Enjoy.
