My amazing, full, rich, hot stay in NYC is over, and I’m back in Appleton, at my house with sparrows in the backyard and flowers in bloom and it’s really not so bad.
Thank You
Thanks to all of you who wished me and my lovely wife a happy wedding anniversary today.
I have been, as some of you have realized, feeling a lot more private lately, about a lot of things, and so am no longer on Facebook or other social networking sites. I think I am just a little fatigued, and still a little twitchy due to the move from Giant Anonymous Place to here.
(Still, the well wishes of you all mean a great deal to me, and I appreciate both the enthusiasm and the attention.)
Green Bay Pride
I’m speaking, briefly, at Pride Alive today, around 11am, up in Green Bay. The event goes from 11am until 10PM, so do come. I’ve tabled for Fair Wisconsin at this event in the past, and it’s a cool thing.
Welcome Newbies
I’m noticing a lot of newbies reading and commenting here, so I just wanted to say hello, and maybe add a caveat: this blog is 10 years old, & there’s plenty I’ve written here that I don’t even agree with anymore. So do keep that in mind as you read, or not. I don’t like editing/changing history, so I leave it as is, but do please ask for an update if you find yourself reading an old post & wondering why I’m such an asshole.
Otherwise, welcome!
Endymion
So our big Endymion is on his way out of this world, but right now he’s stable – on a mix of steroids and antibiotics, with another trip to the vet for bloodwork tomorrow. He was severely anemic and jaundiced yesterday at the vet, and although the jaundice seems to have diminished, he still seems very, very tired.
But he did decide to hang around long enough for his mom to get back here and kiss his big head.
Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers. We’d rather him around forever, but not if he’s suffering, so we’ll see what shitty decisions we’ll have to make, or not.
(This is one of my favorites of the big goober, taken back in Brooklyn.)
Emergency Ride from Milwaukee > Appleton
(I’ve gotten a ride. Thank you all for helping out by re-posting this note.)
Hello all
I desperately need an emergency ride from Milwaukee airport to Appleton. I’m arriving at 2:30 & want to leave right away.
Our Endymion is dying. We’ve made him comfy & he’s at home, but I’d like to be able to say goodbye. I can’t change my flights, and because of my stupid probationary license, I can’t rent a car.
If you know anyone who might be able to do this, even if you can’t, please pass it on. Obviously I’ll pay for gas & consider any other requests for remuneration.
Thanks.
Helen
Portland!
And now I’m in Portland visiting with an old, old friend – the one I used to read old sexology books with in the library in high school – and meeting her husband and her two year old son for the very first time.
Seattle was too amazing. I already miss it.
I’m back in Wisconsin Tuesday.
Seattle
Okay, I’m in love with Seattle. There are bike paths everywhere, dorks everywhere, the weather is gorgeous (sunny inbetween mild and gloomy days) and I’ve met some amazing people, got to see a few people I haven’t seen in a very long time, and otherwise am so totally impressed with the place it’s ridiculous.
Tonight in Seattle: Me + GJL
I’m teaming up with Gender Justice League to do a small event tonight, Tuesday 5/21, at 7PM. If you can join us, please let them know you’ll be attending. If you click on the calendar entry for tonight’s meeting, you’ll find the name of the venue & directions.
OMW: Seattle
For the very first time, I’m going to Seattle! Today’s a travel day, so I may not get emails and the like until I’m back on terra firma.
