Scenes from Joel's birthday party last night....




Vogue. Ever-so-popular with the gays.



You know, when Joel told me that there would be a surprising, even SHOCKING, event during halftime, I didn't think it would be like this.


I promise this will absolutely be the LAST time Boobgate will be mentioned on this blog. You've been warned.

My dad on gay marriage

Marta recounted this story to me over the phone:
(my dad is addicted to television news, and will often watch every news source available, even if it's just Headline News for hours on end)
Marta: Wow, you sure are interested in that gay marriage in San Francisco. What would you do if you saw Joel up there getting married?
My dad: Well, I would hope he'd be the groom so I don't have to pay for it.

There you go folks--my dad supports gay marriage as long as it doesn't come out of his pocket. =o)

The Thomases are famous!

OK, so only in the local paper, and only our house.

The picture was taken from our front door look back through our downstairs. Scroll down to "Home of John & Marta Thomas" to read about it--Cleo can vouch for it. Of course, there are factual errors--this is the Myrtle Beach Sun News, after all. They refer to my dad as 'Jim' in the second paragraph, but use his correct name everywhere else. Does anyone actually read these things before they print them? Also, in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, it would have been better written "Marta's father and John" rather than perpetuating Southern stereotypes by implying that they share the same dad.

There are more pictures in the print version. My parents are sending me a copy, and I'll scan and post the pictures when I get it.

Massachusetts Court: Gay Civil Unions Not Enough

BOSTON (Reuters) - Massachusetts' highest court on Wednesday upheld its landmark ruling made last year by saying that only marriages for gay couples and not civil unions were valid under the constitution.

In response to a request from lawmakers to evaluate proposed legislation that would allow civil unions -- essentially a parallel form of marriage for gays and lesbians -- the Massachusetts Supreme Court delivered a flat "no."

"The bill maintains an unconstitutional, inferior and discriminatory status for same-sex couples," the court said in an opinion.

I ventured to Nevin's Live in good old Evanston Saturday night to see Vodka Moxie, Chicago's very own School of Rock.

I was quite taken by the bass player, who had clearly spent many hours perfecting the art of taking a drag while keeping time.

Do you remember Sprockets from Saturday Night Live? There was this weird man at the show who dressed like the dudes in the skit. And he followed Chris around all night. Three times he was outside of the men's restroom when Chris finished his business.
