An English Partnership… and the ‘08 Elections.
In the 1,000th issue of The Advocate, cover date January 15, 2008, there was an excellent first person essay from Andrew Solomon called “A Transcontinental Affair.” Here he talked about traveling to England with his partner, John Habich, so they could pledge “our troth” in the summer of 2006. Andrew’s dual citizenship in the U.S. [...]

New York Rangers vs. Montreal Canadiens
Last night Paul and I made our yearly trek to see his home team, Montreal, play against the Rangers. It was our third year to do this, and the third year he had to watch his team loose.
It was a rough game for the Canadiens. For the first two periods, they were [...]
The Broken H by J.L. Langley
Last Christmas, Will gave me J.L. Langley’s The Tin Star and this Christmas I got The Broken H, the latest from Langley that follows some characters that were introduced in Tin Star.
In Broken H, we get more in depth with Sheriff Grayson Hunter, one of the good guys from Tin Star who helped Jamie and [...]
A Sick Weekend, Teams Loose
For the first time since I started playing in 2002, I was sidelined this weekend because I was sick. I hated it. Any weekend without at least some hockey always makes me a bit unhappy, to miss for being sick was even worse. I’d had the cough for a few weeks and [...]

Gladiators Ready!
I’ve written in the past about how I’d gotten into the ESPN Classic reruns of American Gladiators. It’s fun seeing those shows again after so many years, with some of the episodes being nearly 20 years old (oh my, how the hair was back then!). Well, I just finished watching the first episode of NBC’s [...]

About Header #6
Header #6 breaks the usual format since these are not photos that I shot. The images are from the Times Square Alliance website and are several different looks for the ball that dropped from atop 1 Times Square on New Years Eve. This year there was a new high-tech ball that produced many colors and [...]

Three Games, Two Wins, One Goal
It was a good day for hockey yesterday. It was a three-game night, plus I did Ronnie’s in the morning as well so that made for lots of play.
