  • For-Profit Healthcare Fails the COVID Challenge

    Over 10,000 people have died of COVID or complications stemming from COVID since Election Day. Trump has tweeted over 250 times, less than 5 tweets have addressed COVID. Right here and now simple steps can be taken to contain the problem and gain at least minimal control. Masks need to be encouraged and worn correctly,…

  • Sunset at Lakewood Park

    It’s been a beautiful Indian Summer weekend. David and I went out to Lakewood Park on Lake Erie, west of downtown Cleveland, to enjoy the sunset.

  • Life is a Walk in the Park

    Sunny walkable days are in dwindling supply with November now arrived. Today is blustery with a first snow predicted — and realized. Yesterday was bright and beautiful, so David and I spent some time in Cleveland Metroparks’ Rocky River Reservation. It was brisk but sunny and gorgeous, all the better when cooped up at home…

  • So Now the Family Knows

    Today Gay Video of the Week continues with a month-long celebration of coming out. October 11 was “National Coming Out Day.” Last week I featured videos that LGBT people have recorded to document their Big Reveal, the moment they came out one or both parents, siblings and important close friends.

  • Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!

    In 1988, October 11 was designated as “National Coming Out Day,” though it’s really international. I will be celebrating Coming Out this entire month on Gay Video of the Week. Be sure to come back every Saturday. I also have a page dedicated to Coming Out Stories that you can find on my website. The…

  • Black Lives Matter, Violence & Marxism

    George Floyd’s murder in Milwaukee under a policeman’s knee on May 25, 2020, sparked massive and mostly peaceful anti-racism protests worldwide by millions under the banner of Black Lives Matter. Millions poured into the the streets. Across the United States, there were more than 550 marches, rallies and vigils (photos). There were also protests in…

  • Our Cabin Vacation

    Like most everyone, David and I have inhabited the same four walls since March. This past week we escaped to another set of walls for a short 3-day mini-vacation. It was delightful! We drove two hours south to the Hickory Creek Cabin in Lexington, Ohio. It’s a small cabin tucked away in a patch of…
