Broke my usual habit of going to Vera’s this evening to stop in at The Bad Waitress. I like it here. Good, cheap food. Jukebox. dimly lit. Free wireless. No-nonsense staff, who, despite the name, are actually pretty cool. I stole the image off their website. Nobody sue me, please. There are young, just-turned 21 ...
You’d think I would have learned my lesson after the last time my computer went kaput. In fact, I had. I setup a nightly syncing mechanism that would copy everything onto another drive on my home network. Then I started a sober house and the extra computer, and the hard drive space it included, went ...
The Twin Cities Gay Pride festival kicks off in Loring Park today, and I’m sitting in a stranger’s cabin, on a lake I don’t know the name of, somewhere between Backus and Hackensack in Northern Minnesota – three hours from home, and three miles from any pavement.

Yesterday was filled with errands. Today was yard work, gardening, getting out the hose, replanting a tree – it was all very glamorous. The folks at Park Ave grilled burgers and hot dogs, we had the house meeting and finished the evening off with a bonfire and ice cream (we forgot to buy the ingredients ...

Success meaning the bills get paid and people are getting and staying sober. I pray it continues. Work has been going well. I’ve recently ...
This blog has fallen to the bottom of my priority list. While I used to enjoy writing regularly, other things in my life have come to take its place. Not sure how often, or if I will continue to update it. Interestingly, I was contacted by a reporter from the Strib. He wrote an article ...
I finally bought a bike. It’s a Marin named Lucas. Go to The Alt – they rock and they’re cute. ...
I was at the Academy Awards with Catherine Zeta Jones and some other female star who I cannot remember. Catherine was totally cool, but somebody else was wearing the same dress and matching purse, so we walked across the street from the Kodak Theatre to Bloomies. (Except there is no Bloomies across the street, but ...
… have been spent working on the new house. I closed this past Monday and have been spending evenings and weekends purchasing furniture, arranging for utilities, meeting with an accountant, etc. It’s all happening so fast. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. My family had suggested that I make a list of things I ...
