Michael Crichton’s work is a guilty pleasure of mine. I will miss reading his new creative musings.

Marriage Equality Activist, Del Martin, Dies at 87

∇ Category:Memorial / Nostalgia | → 0 Comments |

Del Martin had fought all her life for the equality of the gay community. She was a pioneer, starting in the 1950’s to champion the rights of gays as normal people. Her efforts to legalize marriage have directly impacted my life by bringing the joy and respect that only a marriage could imbue to the loving commitment my closest and dearest friends have made to each other. I hope she will be remembered fondly for her consistent bravery and tireless efforts.

Lil’ Bear

I had the pleasure of meeting my parents dogs on my vacation to Maine.
On the left is Charlie a King Charles Spaniel (the center is Mumoo, my cow) and on the right is Little Bear, a Pomeranian. They are both about 1 1/2 years old here.

They are the so unbelievably sweet and playful.

They really took to Karen…

I found that Lil’ bear was especially tasty.

Little Bear was very sick as a pup. My parents nursed him to health and he had a great vigor to him. Very playful and affectionate. But this past Saturday night, Little Bear died suddenly. It broke my parents hearts.


I know he had a great life and lived longer than he would have if my parents did not take him home but it is still very sad for such a young dog to pass on so quickly.

Isaac Hayes left us.

“You can’t put bread in a cold oven. You know you got to take your time you got to heat it up so that’s what, that’s what I like to do with my music. You got to build it and build into a maddening, exciting crescendo.” Isaac Hayes, Interview 2000 with NPR.

Where would disco and rap be without Isaac Hayes? I would not want to know. May your legend live on!
