Well heck.

Anyone who watched news about last week's shooting probably heard about Shepherd of the Hills church, which is just down the street. It was the main evacuation/pick up location.

ARP has had it's holiday party in one of the rooms for the last few years. We had to cancel last year's party because Sandy Hook happened the year before and one of the member's aunt died in that tragedy.

So, this year - the church is holding a candlelight vigil in the gym at the same time as our party is scheduled. Aside from the mess of parking and keeping the two events separate, it just feel wrong to have a party next to a vigil. I don't even know what to do at this point. The party is tomorrow night and we are not cancelling a second year in a row.

Brian Boitano came out as gay. So my question is, he hadn't come out before?

And New Mexico legalized gay marriage.

I will be happy if we ever live in a world when this isn't news because gay marriage is just referred to as marriage and people can live their lives openly.

Really, that was a question?

Anyone ever use the escalator at Porter Square station in Cambridge, MA? You know the one I mean if you have. That things gives me panic attacks going up or down.

Oh, interesting. I really think it's interesting all the different ways people's brains work, and the different things that flash "danger" in our lizard brains (or whatever). DIFFERENT PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT.

ION, it would have been hilarious if I were scanning porn, but no.

I really thought he had come out many years ago? Like around the 'What Would Brian Boitano do?" time?

I did too. It just was so not news.

I've signed up for a tai chi class in January. Should I watch Avatar (I'm assuming Airbender, not Pandora) first?

Wouldn't hurt (and you assume correctly). Hooray tai chi!

I think I just successfully bluffed my way through a presentation. My last meeting of the day was cancelled... by me. All I really want now is a nap.

Although I am sort of glad that maybe enough people have "come out" that it will cease being news? And thus requiring an actual "coming out". I did google a bit, and realized I also thought Scott Hamilton came out, and he is not gay.

Fear of escalators is not an irrational fear! That are death machines! Also I'm pretty sure there's a monster that lives down in the green lights area. I watched a documentary about escalators getting built and they didn't show the installation of the monster but I'm still pretty sure.

I kept thinking it was weird when they reported on the two gay women in the Sochi delegation...and Brian Boitano is also there. I assume this is why he did come out?
