Family Time

By on November 28, 2011 in Travel, Weekend Adventures

The Lone Cypress, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach
Well, well, well, hello there! Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving; ours stretched out into a week of family fun! It’s always so great when my parents come to visit and this trip was no exception.

  • Saturday: Art Party! Jack took the lead on it, so I could take my parents for a walk downtown, along the Boardwalk and the Wharf.
  • Sunday: We all hopped in the car and took a day-trip down to Carmel and Monterey. 17 Mile Dr in Pebble beach was magic!
  • Monday: Quickly grabbed breakfast with Cyd (Jack’s mum) and then on to San Francisco! We took a very cool walking food tour of the Telegraph Hill neighborhood. Afterwards we walked through Chinatown, down to Union Square. Then drove to our hotel in Marin.
  • Tuesday: St. Helena in Napa for a winery tour at The Beringer Vineyards.
  • Wednesday: Sausalito and taking the scenic route back down to Santa Cruz.
  • Thursday: Thanksgiving! It was most exciting! My parents got to meet a ton of Jack’s family. We ate, drank, played some poker and were very merry!
  • Friday: Sightseeing along the westside coast, in the beautiful weather! Steamers Lane, Natural Bridges and the Seymour Center at Long Marine Lab.
  • Saturday: A bite to eat at Paula’s and sent my parents off to the airport.

Thanks to my mom and dad for showing us a great time, as usual and Jack’s family for a truly warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! Love you all more than I can ever say!

Young Me / Now Me

Young Me / Now Me
One of Ze Frank’s awesome ideas! Reminds me of these pictures the “kids” of my family (my cousins and brothers) take every few years on my grandmother’s stairs. But, I would love to also try out some of the zannier pictures from my childhood!

When You Marry

By on November 4, 2009 in Humor

When You Marry
Meant to post this before I left, but ran out of time. Amalah.com was kind enough to share this hilariously passé guidebook to marriage, When You Marry.

As far as I can tell, this book was intended for a high school course in “Family Life Education,” a White-House-encouraged initiative to strengthen future American families against the corrupting forces of communism, feminism, interracial dating and heavy petting. We’re going beyond the flour-sack baby, here, people, we’re going to bring down the national divorce rate through our ability to make high school students squirm in their seats. It’s outdated! It’s offensive! It’s adorable! It’s all this, and more. Much, much more.

Here’s to memories and looking to the future!

New Year's Fireworks
I’m taking it easy today in preparation for the craziness that will more than likely ensue tonight.

Well, my 2008 was a spectacular one! I think the biggest highlight would have to be when I finally took a trip out to the West Coast; where I met Jack’s wonderful family, put my feet in the Pacific and hugged a redwood! I hope we get to take an even longer trip out there in ’09!

To my lover, all my friends and family, and anyone who happens to stumble upon this little blog: have the happiest and most blessed new year! Love to all!

Melissa’s Family

By on October 30, 2008 in News, Vision


I’m not a huge fan of her music, but Melissa Etheridge wrote a wonderful article about her “Typical Homo Family.” The struggles she and many other homosexual families have to go through is heartbreaking. And, I’m not going to say all the things I want to about Prop 8… It makes my too angry. Just know there’s a lot of cursing involved.

I know my preference of life mate freaks some people out. Maybe it is just their fear of sex or intimacy. Fine, let me stand before my creator and take any consequences there might be to living my life in truth and balance with my spirit.

Beautifully said! Thank you to Morgan for sending me this!

For those in CA: more info on how to fight to protect equality can be found here.

Insight

By on September 24, 2008 in Humor

There is a success principle that says; You can see where a person is headed by the books he or she reads and the people that he or she associates with.

…

I guess I won’t call any group out for forwarding this to me…

Even though it might shed some light on who I associate with.

I sure do love you guys!
