Giving Back
The universe is already showing me opportunities for 2024! I joined a group for transgender parenting recently and today someone posted about a camp for trans kids. They are opening a location nearby! They will need staff and applications open up sometime this month. I am so hopeful that I could get hired for the…

First of all, this seems like a super silly question. The most important question about starting a sports team would be where’s the funding coming from and oh, I don’t know, WHAT SPORT it would be! And also, am I joining an established league or is the entire league new and also what level? Like…

Taylor Swift, Swifties, and their enemies

Odds and Ends
It’s been a nutty couple of weeks but it seems to be settling down now. Boy #3 is done with cross country, Girl is done with soccer and just has lacrosse now, and Boy #2 got his first choice college visit out of the way. Boy #1 seems to be struggling a bit at college,…

My favorite places
Yesterday I arrived at one of my most favorite places in the US. Washington, DC! I was once deployed to this area for 7 months to support the defense of the National Capital Region back in 2011. It was a great experience where I lived at a hotel and worked a goofy schedule that gave…

This is a tough question. I would say it’s between Storm Front by Billy Joel, Automatic for the People by REM, Big Ones by Aerosmith, Colour by Numbers by Culture Club, Hysteria by Def Leppard, and Queen’s Platinum Collection. The winner is Queen. Sure it’s just a collection of their most popular and mostly best…
