Happy New Year – from me to you
I really can’t leave 2008 without sharing the best photo I have from my trip to Wasilla, Alaska last week. This just goes to show, it could be worse: You could live in Wasilla and have “Palin Fever.”
2008 sucked (with one awesome exception). Bring on 2009!
What a fucked-up year it’s been … Best day of 2008: Nov. 4. Yes. We. Can! Other than Obama’s victory, this could be objectively viewed as the Worst Year on Record in America (Bloomberg) Impeach Governor Assclown “GW Jr.” Gibbons already Heartless doctors at Endoscopy Center expose 40,000+ to deadly diseases because of greed and…
Spoiled food sucks
I’m back, but I’m not back. I fully intended to bring you a well-researched, timely post today. But instead, when I got home from Alaska last night I arrived to a house that smelled of rotting, vomit-inducing food. Surprise! My refrigerator had busted while I was away! So, instead, I’ve been researching new fridges, and…
Left behind in 2009
Please enjoy a guest post by Julianna Ormsby, lobbyist for the Nevada Women’s Lobby. (Full disclosure: I’m on the women’s lobby’s steering committee.)

What a difference a day makes!
Today’s guest post is from local Planned Parenthood’s Annette Magnus: What a difference a day makes! When I think of this very popular phrase a few dates come to mind that have made/will make a big difference to women’s health. One date is November 4, 2008. That date has so much significance to all of…
The Last Frontier
Well Dear Readers, I’m off to Alaska. I’ll be checking things less often as I enjoy the holidays and freezing my butt off. 🙂 But don’t despair! I have two excellent guest writers lined up for your reading enjoyment (just in case Aunt Ethel’s fruitcake and cheek-pinching starts to get a little tiresome). Look for…
Snowing in Las Vegas
It’s our second day of snow in Las Vegas and today this stuff looks determined to stick. And if this puts you in the holiday mood, don’t forget my Mindful Giving holiday charity and shopping list. ** Update: They’re calling it a 30-year storm in Vegas. Half the city is shut down or in a…
Kitten break
Okay, I need a break from Christmas and other stresses. How about a kitten break?
Equality rally and march re-cap
Although it was a cold and blustery day (signs were impossible to hold up in the 25-mph gusts) in Las Vegas, there was a decent turn-out for the Stand OUT for Equality rally and march on Dec. 13. I don’t know the exact count but my guesstimate would put the crowd at around 100-150.There were…
