Matt Damon is gonna star as Liberace’s boyfriend in the new Liberace movie next year. Michael Douglas will be playing Liberace which seems kind of weird to me. Matt Damon is God by the way.
Yesterday, the Arizona state house passed legislation that says that straight couples will have first dibs on children. Only if no married straight couples can be found would a child become available to others. This would overrule the existing practice of the Department of Economic Security that makes the “best interests of the child” the primary factor when considering placing a child for adoption.

It’s snowing…prolly about six inches, but believe or not, this is our first bigger snow since early December. While the rest of the east coast has been socked a couple of times, we’ve been relatively dry, but this one seems to be piling up quicker than they thought. We’ll see.

I feel it, I need to smell it, I want to eat it…

I had just seen this online and set it as my desktop when I went to Facebook where Duncan had just posted it..funny.

Not really mine….but I want it. Never heard of it but I saw one today and did my investigating thing and I want it. I’m not getting it, but I want it. They range from 14K to 20K and check out the rear window that you can’t see here but it has great rear visibility. Check out my blind spot bitches. I want to Build My Cube.

Somehow, while doing something totally unrelated, I came across this picture on the web and it happens to be one of the places we ate on our cross country trip in 2001, The Square Shooters Eating House, in Rawlins, WY. I had my first and only buffalo burger there and I remember vividly the stuffed heads all over the walls. I accidentally deleted all of our pictures from this trip and it still makes me a little sad…but memories live on…until dementia and alzheimers sets in that is…

Westboro Baptist Church descended upon Albany this morning across from Albany High School. School was delayed for two hours to avert any problems. To be so brainwashed, but to be so brainwashed while still having so much interaction with the outside world is beyond me. I understand someone drops them off in a white van, they protest, and someone picks them up in a white van and takes them to their next stop. But to be surrounded buy hundreds of protesters everywhere you go, and I’m sure, only seldom, someone joins their side, how can you not question anything you’re saying? I question myself frequently. I question others more frequently. Any of my superiors will tell you I will argue my point unless I feel it is just useless or they change my mind about it. I do listen to other’s point of view. Besides, I believe these protest do nothing but make the opposition stronger. After downtown, it was off to SUNY-Albany and then they plan to spend the rest of the day in Plattsburgh protesting their gay mayor, the high school’s gay/straight alliance, and Plattsburgh State’s production of “The Laramie Project”. A busy day.
On positive note, freight may be flowing through Schenectady in two directions at once soon. There are double tracks all the way through the state except between Schenectady and Albany where freight traffic (and passenger traffic to a lesser extent) backs up all the time. For years, the state has been trying to finance this very expensive project and the stimulus package may mean it finally gets done. Not only will it help move the abundance of train traffic that comes through the city but it will mean a lot of new infrastructure. The train trestles that go through downtown are dated anywhere between 1901 and 1908. Long before the old Erie Canal was filled in, the tracks were raised for pedestrian safety. These same bridges that we sit under while waiting for traffic lights that seem to “leak” on us and seriously creep me out.
Lastly, I’ve been using a reader for the last couple of months and while it’s faster, I think you lose a lot of the personality that goes with the reading. A lot of times, the pictures are not there as well as the videos and it’s more like reading a document rather than a web page. I may use it for some of the less frequently updated blogs and news but for the most part, I’m gonna move back to just looking at the site.
And we’re looking at 50 degrees this weekend!

Our first summer
I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due
To the man that’s made a difference in my world
And although most men are ho’s he flows on the down low
Cuz I never heard about him with another guy
But I don’t sweat it because it’s just pathetic
To let it get me involved in that he said/she said crowd
I know that ain’t nobody perfect, I give props to those who deserve it
And believe me y’all, he’s worth it
So here’s to the future cuz we got through the past
I finally found somebody that can make me laugh…
OK, I’ve been dying to give a Salt-N-Pepa salute to Duncan. Today is our tenth anniversary. I love you man, you changed my life so much and sorry your roses came a week early because I did too many drugs the day I ordered them. The sentiment lives on…Lookin’ forward to our tradition.

from The Daily Gazette
Seeing how, after today, we’re not getting out of the twenties for at least 10 days and not out of the teens for the next five, the parks department was readying Iroquois Lake for ice skating when a city truck fell through for the second time in a year. See video

This a picture from Salt Lake City in 2001. It’s a beautiful place.
Got rid of the piano today, gave it to a friend so she doesn’t have to get up at 4am to practice at school anymore. The only thing I asked was, I didn’t have to help. It’s gone. It’s strange we now have this window that we’ve never been able to look through before and a huge open space.
