Six years ago today was a day that changed all of our lives forever. My story is nothing compared to what my friends Liz and Lauren can tell. They were both in New York on that fateful day. United flight 93 flew over where I was, but I didn’t see the results first-hand. Still it… Continue reading September 11, 2007

Marked Again
This morning on our walk, Reggie and I stopped to talk to my neighbor and her two dogs. Reggie wanted to make sure that these two knew that I was spoken for. That’s right, the little shit pissed right on my leg. That’s the second time in a month he’s done that to me. The… Continue reading Marked Again
Value
My boss is a really good guy. At the same time, he can frustrate the hell out of me. Still, he’s a good guy. We have a weekly one-on-one where I have his undivided attention. He does this for all of his staff that report to him. This morning, I told him that one of… Continue reading Value
New Friends
Sometimes it scares me to think that I’m part of the gay “community.” Maybe it’s just the company I keep. I have been chatting online with this guy who just started school here. We met up today for brunch. He’s a really smart kid and pretty funny. He just moved here from the west coast. … Continue reading New Friends
Brindle Pug
I was walking through Copley Square in Boston today and I saw the most amazing looking Pug. He was brindle in coloring, which I’d never seen before. Of course I had to stop and say hello. His name was Elmo and he immediately greeted me with Puggy kisses just like Reggie does. It turns out… Continue reading Brindle Pug
Odd Family Recipes
My sister called me this morning and told me she was making an old family recipe. It’s something I haven’t made in years. This is going to sound gross, but the finished product is pretty amazing. In a slow cooker, you put in a quart of homemade sauerkraut and a quart of stewed tomatoes with… Continue reading Odd Family Recipes
Saturday Errands
Saturday is frequently my day to run errands. I jumped in the car and headed to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and then Fruit of the Four Seasons. While I did score some good food, it wasn’t cheap. Today was my cheapest trip to FotFS at $25. It’s the buffalo chicken salad that always costs the… Continue reading Saturday Errands
Postage
When I got home from work yesterday, I had a bundle waiting for me in the mailbox. This wasn’t a good bundle, though. It was the CDs I had mailed out for my CD exchange. The guy in our mailroom must not have weighed them correctly. The items were returned for insufficient postage. So this… Continue reading Postage
Coffee
Yesterday was a bad day at work. I was so upset when I left that I was in tears. Most of it is really in my own head. I’m just upset because I single-handedly rescued a major business initiative from failure while somebody else got singled out for stuff they knew was coming and wasn’t… Continue reading Coffee
New iPhone
Apple just dropped the price of the iPhone by $200 this week. It makes the must-have gadget a lot more affordable. Nah. I still love my Crackberry Pearl.
