People have always told me growing up in Alaska is like I’m from another world. Now NASA scientists have some proof: Alaska is like Mars. I like to think my little letter-writing campaign had something to do with Home Depot’s new campaign to take back spent CFLs (compact fluorescent lightbulbs). Admittedly I’m biased, but I think…
Because I wrote about her here at The Siren, I thought I should let you know that my cousin has died from mesothelioma. She passed away early Friday morning. Thank you to everyone who has given me so much support. It has been a difficult time, especially as this comes on the heels of losing…
There is so much going on lately that I just don’t have time to get to it all. But I wanted to at least mention these things in passing, before they become totally irrelevant. What’s that?

Seven of the chemicals, including toluene, ethylbenzene, phenol, methylisobutyl ketone, xylene, acetophenone and cumene are…
On the anniversary of testimony to Congress that first brought the term “global warming” to public light, NASA scientist tells Congress we’re in some serious trouble.
Looks like the Fag Bug movie is coming out soon. 🙂
I write with a heavy heart that my father-in-law has died of pancreatic cancer. He passed away Wednesday morning. (Here is the obit I wrote for him.) It is a hard time. I hope you all keep up the good fight in my absence as I spend time with my family. Give ’em hell for…
