Good news everyone! Things are really rolling along to get the Fag Bug event off the ground next month. She’ll be here July 26 and 27 so it’s less than 30 days away! I had an incredibly productive meeting last night with members of the local HRC (Human Rights Campaign), which is starting a new…
Well kids, I’m back. Although I admit it’s somewhat reluctantly because that vacation was good stuff. But now it’s on to new and wondrous things … like the frustration of doing the right thing for the planet. Have you noticed the new ad campaigns for compact fluorescent lights (known as CFLs)? Even Walmart has ironically…
