The Post-Gazette editors remind you that recycling the “marriage amendment” is getting tiresome. Conservative lawmakers in the General Assembly are always trying to save the institution of marriage from an imagined horror. This year is no different. Although marriage suffers its greatest damage when heterosexuals divorce, the threat is always identified as gays wanting to […]
Well, I've gone six days without meat and it hasn't been too bad. It was easy enough to substitute shrimp when dining out and one of our meals was at The Quiet Storm which has delicious veggie options. I had a falafel with chick peas as the protein. Otherwise, I had a veggie omelet, cheese […]
One year ago, we adopted our little Ana from Starfish to the Sea Rescue. Technically, it was May 26, 2008 but since it was a holiday we've decided to celebrate Ana's anniversary (get it?) on Memorial Day each year. It was quite a day. We drove up to Indiana County, spent a few hours, plopped […]

Here's some of the language: PRINCIPLES The following eight guiding principles underlie our call to action. In order to achieve […]
How utterly relaxing was today. Breakfast at the Square Cafe — we haven't been there since Thanksgiving! Wow. The decor has changed a bit, but the food remains awesome as does the service. I'm happy to report that I resisted bacon, even when Ledcat ordered it. I gritted my teeth and ate fruit plus the […]

All is not as it seems with the City's Domestic Registry. Stay tuned. Congrats to the victors in the election. I look forward to seeing Daniel Lavelle and Theresa Smith at Pridefest. I'm sure Natalia will be there. Marriage amendment is drawing some of the old “Alabama in the middle” analysis of Pennsylvania. Of the […]
