Also, I think those might be dogs in Babushkas! which is somehw funnier to me!
I used to put a babushka on the sheep dog with a dinner napkin when she'd sit at the table and beg. Then we'd call her grandma all night (or until she wrestled it off.) My mother didn't think it was nearly as funny as we did.
I have a grocery list made.
I put on outside pants, and my shoes.
I may actually make it out of the house yet.

GENIUS!

Are the Darwin Award nominations out yet? Because, although it's sad, I think we have a winner.
Guh. It's been 25 years since the CDC first reported on AIDS. I first read about it in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report when it was still called GRID (Gay Related Immunodeficiency).
In 1982 and 1983, the infection rate within San Francisco's gay population was increasing at an astonishing 18 percent per year. Since those first puzzling cases, at least 18,000 people in San Francisco have died of the disease — six times the estimated toll of the earthquake and fire 100 years ago.
I moved here in '86 and they were just then closing down the bathhouses - an extremely unpopular move.
Happy Birthday, Dana!
At least crawling into an NO2 balloon would have been more fun.
Pelecanos fans are always sexy, Jesse.

Happy birthday, Dana!
We just came back from our godson's christening. Church, then Roscoes, then home for naps.
Guh. It's been 25 years since the CDC first reported on AIDS.
The really scary part? The first proven case died in 1959. (They went back and tested old blood samples from Zaire; they didn't know it till much, much later.) Can you imagine? The disease made its way through Zaire, from the countryside into the cities, and then jumped continents, and had
two decades
to flourish before anybody with any power noticed.
