Drenched Fur wrap up meeting and Pride Registration changes
The Drenched Fur wrap up meeting went okay, if a tad long. At the end, the guy that Gary is seeing was IM'ing and said something about us discussing using the colors of blush and bashful. I shot back with...

A minor personal goal
I have been meaning to cook from scratch more. I try to eat somewhat healthily, but I do feel like I am taking better care of myself when I make something that isn't just thawing something. So, this marks the...

Catching up sort of day
There were a number of computer geek tasks I had been meaning to catch up. I just started playing around with Prophet, which is a CRM application that runs inside of Outlook. I track both resource stuff for the database...

Tony Zirkle seems to be a MAJOR whack job
Tony Zirkle, the guy who spoke as a Republican candidate at a birthday party for Hitler (on Sunday, April 20, which was Passover - you can't make this stuff up), seems to be a MAJOR whack job. At first, I...

Yet another gay guy from high school
I was contacted by someone on Facebook that I didn't at first recognize. It turns out that we had gone to high school together, but he had only been there for the senior year and we had been in the...
Candidate speaks at Hitler birthday party / nwi.com
Holy crap! Can you say "bad idea on an epic scale??" Let's just review: Adolph Hitler is pretty much box office poison/a synonym for the most vile and evil segment of humanity. Swastikas are not exactly neutral. Dude, you just...
Near miss with a skunk
I was taking the dogs out for their nightly walk, and we had just crossed the bridge over the Bayfront Highway. Both dogs got rather excited. I noted that there was some kind of small animal beyond the guard rail....

Various computer geek stuff
I don't know why I didn't think of this before. For the Erie Gay News web site, I had submissions for various actions (entering a contest, registering for Pride events, requesting a sample print copy, adding birthday info to the...
Death of my boss
The owner/founder of the company where I work died last Wednesday. He was a good man. I went to the viewing on Sunday. He had rather a rather large family, many of whom work or have worked at the family...
Candidates Night at Craze a success
The Erie Gay Business Alliance, a newly formed group, had a successful candidates night at Craze Night Club on Sunday. We were focused on presidential candidates and US Congress candidates from PA District 3. I was worried because the group...
Remember to vote!
Please remember to vote today if you live in Pennsylvania! The polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM. I have voted in almost every election since I was 18. (I think I missed one once because I was...

Odd encounter with nudes
I had a nice time earlier this evening with the coven celebrating the full moon. I was sort of tired, and didn't make it to going out tonight. As usual, I took my dogs for a walk (it was about...

Political encounters with blasts from the past
I went to Mike Waltner's Day of Action rally today. I saw my friend Greg who used to be very involved with local GLBT stuff. It was nice seeing him again. Another guy asked me for my name, and said...
Newsletter layout weekend
I am trying to stay ahead on getting this month's issue of Erie Gay News done. Deb got a lot done today, and I should proof, since our regular proofreader is out of town this weekend. I still need to...

Popular Christian Show Host Comes Out
I have long thought that people don't necessarily easily fit into neat categories. Good for Azariah for being open about both his spirituality and his sexual orientation. On a semi-related note, I was at a fundraiser tonight and talking...

Saturday is already looking pretty busy
Sigh. I was theoretically going to try to stay home for most of Saturday, since the gas company is supposed to do some sort of routine gas line inspection. This weekend is also newsletter layout time, which usually means that...

Republicans Gone Wild. Again.
Hey kids! I think we all know the drill by now. Good news: Republican Cumberland County Commission and Karl Rove body double Bruce Barclay seems to be innocent of the rape charges that were brought against him by another guy....

Quiet day, hanging with the bloggers
I woke up feeling pretty much still sick. I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk being potentially far from a restroom, so I decided to use another sick day to recover. I was feeling better in the evening, so...
Domain is alive again
I was at my wit's end toward the end of yesterday when eriegaynews.com was suspended. I wasn't sure if we were losing emails, and I got nervous because of all the things I have been trying to get ahead on...
