I play drums. Was a teen punk. Did just the right amount of acid. Now I am an AARP punk and do NYT crossword puzzles. Your dog is awesome.

Paul Klee is one of my favorite artists. Witness these hand puppets he made to entertain his son. With names like "Ghost of a Scarecrow, Electrical Spook, and Mr. Death", I bet they told a scary story with more humor than reading Grimms Fairy Tales ever could.

The NY Times ran a nice remembrance about Lady Java, who died last November. She was a pioneer "female impersonator" in a time before there were words for "trans" or even "drag queen".
We all walk in the steps of people of those who trailblazed a path before us.

I play drums for this combo. It is the densest, heaviest music I have ever been involved with. Since it was a live recording, I feel like I should apologize to the nation of France somehow since it was kind of an assault on our part. But, hey, the cover is pretty and accurately reflects Paris.

I'm shocked but pleased. As the article notes, every family is affected by dementia. I lost my husband to early-onset dementia.

Could Texas do for Alzheimer’s research what it did for cancer?
Modeled after the state’s $6 billion cancer research fund, the dementia fund — a legislative priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — could pump hundreds of millions of dollars into Texas researchers.

My friend figured out one can host panels from the National AIDS Memorial Quilt @ aidsmemorial.org. I'm helping him. We found that many of our younger LGBTQ brothers/sisters have no idea how bad the crisis was. Or what the quilt even means, since living with HIV has been the norm in their lives.
