I never really thought about it much, but it turns out I pay way more attention to bumper stickers I see on parked cars than I ever do when I’m out driving. If I had to figure out a reason why that is, I’d say it’s because cars are usually moving when I see them [...]

Having grown up in the great state of New Mexico, I’ve not had much in the way of strong gay culture. Read: Broadway is a long way away from where I have always been. My partner, being from a good deal further east, is quite savvy in this area. (That’s an understatement, by the way.)
Last [...]

You know how sometimes you see something really good, and nothing will seem to compare, ever? And generally, nothing does compare, at least until a bit of time has passed and the high subsides, bringing you back down to Earth. First there was Wicked, and today brought the delightfully witty and hysterical Spamalot!
Here’s a quick [...]

Albuquerque, as a whole, is full of awesome people. It’s funny, but being back home has really reopened my eyes to this place, and reminded me why I love it so much. It’s not perfect, however, and has its share of people who have asses for brains.
As Robert and I have made our way through [...]

It’s list mania! Today’s installment is a list of things from the road, so to speak.
Today I got to break out my Bullshit Meter and polish and de-rust it. The one aspect of my trip I wasn’t looking forward to terribly much was the inevitable visit with my folks. Today was the first such visit, [...]

I very nearly had an affair with a taco today. Due to my status as a mostly-kosher Jewish New Mexican, I don’t really eat tacos. We headed down to a little New Mexican restaurant for lunch today.
Feeling adventurous, and no longer like I was about to die from overdosing on eggplant parmesan last night, I [...]

It’s not every day you try on a brand new pair of shorts you recently purchased from Target and discover, much to your surprise, that someone who really cares about your soul has left you a little gift. I was the recipient of one such gift today. In fact, I was wearing a brand new [...]

My trip home this time around was not entirely vacation-related; Robert had surgery yesterday, so we’ve spent the last two days at the local hospital. All went well, and after spending the night there last night, he’s back home and doing the one thing the hospital environment didn’t allow him to do: sleeping.
The two of [...]

I’ve been back in Albuquerque for one day so far. It’s amazing to be home, and I’ve found I’ve missed a lot more of the city than even I had realized. For instance, I love the way clouds form here. And it’s amazing how blue the sky is. That’s probably in part because I’m a [...]

In about four-and-a-half hours’ time, I’ll be heading back to Albuquerque. It’s only taken me the better part of two days, but I I’m finally ready. As with most trips I take, I didn’t realize until about 10 o’clock this evening just how much shit I had still to do to prepare myself.
In no particular [...]
