It has been a busy day in the big city for us. The Initiative is just … really cool sums it up best. The majority of yesterday's inconveniences were forgotten in the many small nifty things that we experienced today. I met Pam Spaulding and Autumn Sandeen from Pam's House Blend. Jake Kaskey from Equality […]
It is the eve of the LGBT Blogging Initiative/Summit in Washington, DC and what fun we've had getting here. I was late getting out of work so we got really behind leaving Pgh. We made it to the kennel with literally 6 minutes to spare before they closed. We drove through snow in the Laurel […]

A representative from the Mayor's office will be meeting with representatives from various LGBT organizations and entities to discuss the composition of the new Advisory Council. While the Mayor's planning team has reached out to Leadership Pittsburgh, LP will not be playing any part in the formation of the council. That's regrettable as the process […]
My new job began in earnest this week, leaving me little time to post. Ledcat and I are readying ourselves for the big LGBT Bloggers and Citizen Journalists Initiative weekend in D.C. I packed up the woofers' bags for band camp and we are almost ready to go. I'm excited/anxious. I wish I had business […]
A lot of bloggers put up Paypal links looking for contributions to support their work. That's not something I find necessary, mostly because I derive great pleasure from blogging. But I'm in need. I need a Blackberry so I can blog from the road. So I'm wondering if any of you tech fans out there […]
I'm not sure what I have to offer on this topic tonight. First, let me direct you to some other offerings. Pam's House Blend shares some comments from our President-Elect: Today, because of the work of people like you, women in Kenya who were widowed by the disease, and once shunned by society, have banded […]
