Is there such a thing as divorce equality?

Going through a #divorce is just hard. I’m so focused on how I’ll manage housing, healthcare, basic needs … I don’t have time to process my feelings. Breaking things down via blog posts helps. Poking gentle fun at myself helps. So I’m assuming the persona of a #gaydivorcée to get me through. Over the weekend, […]

Air Supply in Concert Thursday in Greensburg

Air Supply will be in Greensburg tomorrow (Thursday) and I am not going to be there. I’ve seen them twice – once at the Allegheny County fair with my friend John in 2001 when we ended up in an Air Supply mosh pit at the Allegheny County Fair. The second time was June 2022 when […]

A Tale of Remote Control

Everyone reading this post has  experienced the search for a missing remote control. Usually this happens just as your programs comes on the air OR when you really really need to mute the sound. We toss sofa cushions, peer under coffee tables, and try to retrace our steps. Finally, we just use the control buttons […]

Beyond the Gates – One Year Later

I’m still hooked on the newest soap to enter the field. General Hospital is still my ride or die show, but Beyond the Gates is one of the very few CBS/Paramount shows I watch. None of them are news programs. Smitty and Lulu Spencer are better sources. Ahem. In one year, they’ve had a vengeful […]

Anthony Geary challenged masculinity in the soap opera genre

Remember him as Anthony Geary, a gay male actor with many theater credits and a great 30 year on-screen love story, followed by another great 20 year love story. That’s what he wanted even though he acknowledged he would always be remembered as Luke Spencer. Yes, he played the character who revolutionized daytime drama, across […]

New CBS Soap Opera Reminds Viewers that Black Folx Have Glamorous, Gorgeous Soapy Tales to Tell

I have been an avid fan of soap operas since the mid-80’s when my friend Sherri introduced me to Days of Our Lives during summer vacation. We would plop down and stare in rapture at the hair, the clothes, and the glamour. We watched Dallas, Falcon Crest, and Dynasty. I soon ran home from the […]

Elijah Reviews New Disney Movie ‘Wish’

Disney Wish Movie

Elijah has been handling reviews for awhile here. What’s more, I’m switching to embedding Tiktok videos because of the captions. And then, we were invited to review the new Disney flick ‘Wish.’ I sent the Disney enthusiasts. Still, Elijah’s review focuses on what he saw/heard in the movie as “homage” to the legacy of Disney.

Ever since, TDOR has taken place on November 20th. Attendees honor Rita and her […]

Q&A: Pittsburgh is the Perfect Culture for Steel City Con

Last year, I learned that a colleague who serves on a Commission with me happened to own Steel City Con! It was a delightful bit of news. I’ve always been curious about the Con world. Knowing the owner gave me a reason to pay closer attention. My favorite Con moment media was the 2014 To […]
