We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post for the following advertisement of a fictional product: Step right up, ladies and gentleman, I have an idea for the next big thing, the kickstarter of 2018, the invention we’ve all been waiting for. It’s not the Tile, folks, but it’s close, and it’s not the keyless entry… Read More

So, went into traffic court today and brought Chicken just for company. One of my favorite things about court is people watching. I run in isolated circles these days and I gotta tell ya, I get tired of little old ladies at the pool. So, three quick highlights here–because what fun is it without highlights?… Read More

Huzzah! We’re going to see the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus perform in December–I was so excited when I bought tickets.
