I participated in a drag show at the college where I work. Sang a couple songs, danced, and looked pretty good.

Spent some hours today practicing for a musical performance in early February. Once upon a time I was a musical theater/show choir geek. But I let the demons in my head convince me I can't/shouldn't sing. 30+ years later, #IAmWhatIAm #WhereIWantToBe
Fingers crossed!!

I hope that you are as loved as I am, and as surrounded by loved ones as I am today. Whichever holiday you celebrate, even if it's just a lovely Wednesday....may you be loved today!

Basic instructions for using a public restroom:

Step 1: Mind your own business

Step 2: Use the facilities. Don't piss on the seat or the floor. FLUSH

Step 3: Wash your hands. Put the paper towels IN THE TRASH

Step 4: Leave while continuing to mind your own fucking business

We just watched the season 2 finale of The West Wing Two Cathedrals. Martin Sheen was amazing. The monologue in the cathedral was breathtaking. IYKYK

Both please!

We've been married for 7+ years, but we started our saga in 1980-something. Think Heartstopper with more swearing and more sex lol. We took a 30+year detour, but eventually destiny won.

All My Children. The character was Zoey, played by the recently deceased Jeffrey Carlson. The story was 2006-7. Ahead of it's time, for sure.
