Coming Out Day
This one is pretty self-explanatory. And pretty important. National Coming Out Day was created in 1988 in part as a response to the then common public opinion of “I don’t know anyone who is gay”. The event drew widespread media attention and the cause was taken up by the Human Right Campaign a couple of years later. If you remember… Read more »
Operation Add 3rd Cat Is a Success!
It’s been almost 6 months since we welcomed Boots into our home and I’m pleased to let everyone know that Operation Add Third Cat is a success!

Most of us know someone who have or had some form of this condition. For me it’s very personal because there is a significant history in both my mother’s and my father’s families. Because I’m,… Read more »
