Cheech breezed into town yesterday from Oregon, and hung out with us all evening. He should be in Mexico by now. I didn’t realize how much I missed my gay boyfriend until yesterday when we hung out. Same thing when Nora came up last weekend. What’s wrong with me? I mean, I go on with my everyday life not really missing anyone. The moment we get to spend time together, suddenly I remember all the good times and I just want to be with them all the time. Unfortunately, my best friends either are out of state or out of...

It’s back in my life! Finally cleared enough boxes away so I can shuffle everything off the piano area and bench. It’s the first time I actually sat and played and sang in this apartment! Yey, me! And I played my standards. Five for Fighting’s Superman (It’s not easy), Billy Joel’s And so it goes, and spurts of Sound of Music and Star Wars Theme. Somehow I ended up playing Wind Beneath My Wings. Please, don’t boo me just yet. And I cried, singing it. I never noticed how it reminds me of my mom. When the song came out...

We love you, man....

The King Never Smiles by Paul M. Handley is coming out on April 16. It is a look at Thailand’s beloved King Bhumibhol in a way that no Thais would ever do: telling the story of a King as a person not a demi-god we make him to be. This summer marks the King’s 60th year on the throne, making him the longest reigning monarch in the world. The release date of this book in April is purely coincidental my ass, Yale! I don’t really object your coming out with a book, but can you show any less respect for...
