Friday, January 11, 2013 How do you find the energy to write when you’re not in the mood? Well, typically, I don’t. Unless circumstances dictate otherwise – a topic or story that has to be covered. Sometimes, I approach those posts like they are official work assigments and go through the motions. Sometimes, I set […]
I guess maybe it’s a good thing that City of Pittsburgh employees still can’t read this blog, because we were snubbed recently by Human Rights Campaign. (Or maybe Pittsburgh was snubbed because employees can’t look at pghlesbian.com? Hmmm. Ve-r-r-r-y interesting.) I hadn’t heard about this until today, when someone linked to HRC’s first-ever rating system […]

Wednesday, January 9, 2013 Talk about a time when you used up an extraordinary amount of energy and were exhausted. It seems that each day, the prompt ties so nicely into my unique circumstances. Let’s review – pulled my back, concussion (bumped my head again today – yikes), carpal tunnel in my right hand and […]
It was late June 2003. I had been volunteering with the GLCC for a year or so. I decided to take a chance on a new “women’s discussion group” that was being formed. So off I went one Sunday afternoon to see what might happen. Magic. That was the night I met Ledcat. She, too, […]
Tuesday, January 8, 2013 If you could be given the option to never sleep and also never be tired, would you take it if it meant you’d also never dream again? Well, no I would not. First, I believe sleep is about far more than simply not being tired – it is when my body […]
