What The Bleep...?

Dont Ask Don't Tell...?

2010-12-19T11:54:00.007-07:00

This morning it was all over the broadcast media. The house and senate have voted to let the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy in the American Armed Forces go. I suppose I should be happy. It is an historic vote, no question about it, and one giant step for Gay-Kind. So why am I not out dancing in the streets with the rest of the Gay community?I was sweet 15 in the spring of 1969. From then until 1973,

NetworkedBlogs through FaceBook

I thought I'd try out this service offered by FaceBook. The main reason was to get more views and readers to share my writing with. Did I even think about everything else I would be sharing? Well...no, of course not. Being as savvy as I think I am about security and privacy issues, I simply reached out for the candy, the sweet thought that so many more would read my thoughts. I will keep this

Greetings Folks.Long time, No post...I know. Life will tear us away from the things we love and my loves are no exception. That was then and this is Now. I have fallen into Face Book, oh yes. It is a wonder, and I'm not the only one who sees the end of email because of it. Instant communication! Drive Through Friendships! Don't like 'em anymore? Un-friend them! Poof!

THE TRUCE

2010-10-24T08:35:00.065-06:00

This is a Hallowe'en story, based on a more or less true story from the days when kids could walk around the neighborhood, the folks didn't panic if they didn't know where you were, and Tricks were almost more important than Treats on the spookiest night of the year!I wrote "THE TRUCE" in a fiction class five years ago. If anybody thinks they see themselves, literally or otherwise, in this story

Originally posted in the spring of 2009,I can't help but think on how the questions I asked in this one have been answered by the events since then.I will be posting a follow up, a "revisited" of sorts soon.Here it comes....again......those uncertain weeks when we ask ourselves " is it time yet?" What is this thing that comes to us in early spring? All winter I spend getting excited about things

Signs and Wonders in the 21st Century...or Everything I know Is Wrong.

After reading a couple of paragraphs of Carolyn Myss’s 'Sacred Contracts', over my first few sips of coffee this morning, I returned to the rest of the house, where the television was chatting away with the voices of some Vegetables who were taking on roles from a recent Indiana Jones script. What was I seeing? Why did this nonsense capture my attention so strongly? Can a television play the

An insightful and mostly irreverent poke at books I have read and loved or hated. This may become an ongoing blog antic. The first shall derive from papers I submitted to the interminably patient faculty at the Valencia Campus of UNM. Sometimes I just need to cheer myself up this way. To paraphrase my Mother (and her Mother)

From the Big Orange Chair

2009-03-02T11:01:00.006-07:00

I bought a big, orange chair recently. It rocks, swivels and sometimes puts me to sleep. Every time I come home it greets me with that orange color, upstaging Sally's loud welcoming barks. I think it wanted to be gold in color but just didn't make the dye lot. The best way to overcome my rather pale love of Orange, in fabric, is to just sit in the chair. Small of stature though I may be, this

OBAMALOS! On Route 66, UNM main campus, 11/04/08Though not my choice pick for movie debut on a blog, the cell phone video phenomenon has earned a place in the scheme of things. There we were, on 'Super Tuesday', trying to remind drivers on Central Ave. to go and vote, for Obama of course. I think we were mostly trying to get them to blow their car horns a bunch. Nevertheless, a good time was had
