WATCH OUT… I am writing a book. This week I came across these notes from 10 years ago. It still is working!!!
I was talking with a good friend one day. She told me that she was the ultimate “Hall and Oats” fan. Every day she just had to hear at least one of their songs. When she was away from home and her music, she would actually call… The “Hall and Oats Emergency Hot Line!” I laughed and said “That can’t be true. There really isn’t a Hall and Oats Emergency Hotline???? Is there???” Yes, there is and here is the number 719 266-2837 “OMG Its REAL!!!” When you call, they give the choice of 4 songs. Then play the whole song. LOL You Just Can’t make This Up!!!
As everybody focuses on all the pride parties and events happening in our city and others, please let’s not forget those people who fought the early battles that made pride possible. The people who were unable to see the fruits of their efforts. The people whose names we can no longer remember.
(Pictured is the 1993 AIDs quilt laid out at the foot of the Building in the Washington monument. I helped sow several of these quilts for friends who had passed. I did many more for the second unfurling of the aid quilt. It was incredibly somber, gut, wrenching, and spirit killing. Everyone I knew was looking over their shoulder, wondering when they were next. Including me.)

What Pirate are LGBT??? YES!!! Black Sail is fact and fiction and based on several pirate tales and legends. At times felt like a Pirate soap opera, then over the top action. Besure to read the all-star cast credits in advance. The LGBT twists are fascinating both spoken and unspoken. The ending will not disappoint but warning it is a romantic tear jerker that we did not see coming.
