What Happened? So, it’s been a bit since I sat down to write. I can pile on a ba-jillion reasons why, but the most honest one is that this dalliance with the gym fizzled as so many others have. For right now, that’s okay. The goal was to conquer my fear of going to and being [...]

So there they were exploring another 15 minutes of their fame. But this time they came to the wrong program where only the strong, coherent and well knowledged survive. Welcome to Chris Matthew’s World of Hardball. Trying to answer Matthews’ rapid fire questions left particularly Choi looking like a deer staring in the headlights of a [...]

I’m beginning to get motion sickness from the ups and downs of news in regards to Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. I mean one minute news about the Pentagon report where the majority could give two hoots and a holler about gays and lesbians being out. Then news the ban against DADT gets put on hold.

Dear readers, passerbys, friends and fellow bloggers. I’m not one to talk about family to the vast blogosphere except about myself however because of what will occuring over the next few days I think it is required for those who stop by and will wonder “hey what the heck is up ?”. This week my elderly [...]

“Death threats, and the now worldwide controversy surrounding your election of me as bishop, have been a constant strain, not just on me, but on my beloved husband, Mark” and on Episcopalians in the state, he said.

Because it is unlikely my commentary here will be presented in other mainstream websites to wit I say what [...]

Okay boys and girls enough of politics (for now) time to get back to the Rainbow world and in particular sports and transgender identity. Today in several news articles many folks have been introduced to Kye Allums a George Washington University women’s basketball player who has disclosed his transgender identity.

For those who aren’t regular readers of this blog and writer I need to give you a little background on myself before the commentary below.
