Hello Miami! We began our vacation early this morning with our flight to Miami. It was relatively without issues. The airports were pretty busy with holiday travelers. Once we got to Miami, we were only 15 minutes from our Hotel, Marriott’s Biscayne Bay. Brett’s constant travelling got us the room and rental car free for three nights. The front desk clerk upgraded us to the…
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary, Brett! Today is Brett’s and my 20th anniversary of our first date. We met for lunch at the Sports Page on Vine Street in Downtown Cincinnati. Time passes so fast. We have had a wonderful life together filled with many memories. This past weekend we celebrated with a wonderful reception. It was so nice to have almost 150 of our friends and family…
what’s with support for same sex marriage?
It was truly a disappointing defeat in Maine. Voters repealed the legislature-passed same sex marriage law. I think we have all come to see New England as that independent progressive region of the USA where Yankee mentality favors individualism and freedom above all. The passage of Issue 1 seems to fly in the face of this. In the back of my mind, I knew that…
autumn splendor in columbiana county
It was an unexpected perfect fall day for the second day in a row. These days have been rare over the past two rainy weeks. With the temperature approaching 70 and sun coming through the window, I decided to take a half day vacation and go for a bike ride. My choice was obvious.

Heart Health Report Card for 2009
The 12th was the fourth anniversary of my heart attack that led to my triple bypass and 17 day hospital stay. I completely forgot about it until Brett reminded me the other night.

no hair cuts
This past Sunday was the National Equality March in Washington D.C. It was a march for GLBT equality in all matters of civil law including same sex marriage. Locally, four of our friends marched. Dante, one of my weight loss pals from North Carolina, marched and took some amazing photos. He posted 76 photos on Facebook. It really gives you a feel for the energy…
