First things first. Kyle wants to see my 6th photo on the 6th page on my Flickr account. So here it is.

My beautiful friends, Kandice and Kristin, at the recent nationwide protest for gay rights.

Speaking of the continuing fight for gay rights, I encourage you all to send President-Elect Obama a postcard thanking him for his promises to the LGBTQ community and reminding him repeal DOMA.

Thanks for the meme, Kyle.

I'm not feeling very holiday-ish so no festive banner this year, but one more reflective of how I am feeling.

Yesterday, I was in a big funk. I felt numb. All I wanted to do was sleep.

That afternoon, I received a thoughtful and encouraging email from someone who reads my blog. It really made a difference and lifted my mood.

Thank you kind sir.
