My parents had to euthanize our cat today.
I won’t go into unpleasant details, but it was time; at nearly 19 years old (that’s about 92 in cat years), she was miserable.

This past week has been one of the most boring ever. I’ve been working a ton, mostly preparing for Utah’s Mardi Gras, aka “The Days of ‘47,” which commemorates the arrival of the Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley (in 1847).

I was driving in the right lane of southbound I-215, when the strap of the flip-flop I [...]

Last weekend Patrick and I celebrated our formal two-year anniversary; I surprised him with a night at a local bed & breakfast.
This being Utah and all, I was a little concerned about two men showing up to check-in at a “romantic” locale. I hate that I worry about stuff like that. I hate that I [...]

On Sunday I asked if the battle for young queer kids was still going on out there, and last night I got an answer I really didn’t want.
