Peggy!
Today marks the 89th Birthday of my dear Aunt Peggy Golberg in Seattle! She has been such a hero in my life, in a day when few people have one.
She is always looking for the good and living beyond life's challenges. She was the first adult that asked me to call her by her first name and has always been a joy to be around. She’s generous, kind, always interested in others and has been willing to share her dogs (Waaaa) with a silly Billy Pritchard on the weekends.
My life is better because of her love and friendship to me!
Cheers to you Peggy!

A quickie with sex
Heavens, it was so hard to get out of bed this morning! I guess that means a fun weekend. Clearly, it was! Albeit quick.
Friday was a special treat as Erik and I went to dinner at Chicago’s Francesca’s on Chesnutt. He’s been feeling a bit under the weather, so I wanted to treat him to a nice dinner AND a show. Who better to enjoy performing than Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen!
Amy and Freddy have residency at Francesca’s Thursday through Saturday. Now, many of my readers know of Amy and Freddy from their experiences on a cruise, in P-Town or Chicago’s Boystown, but this experience is so completely different! It’s pure musical talent! Gone are the “cat song” and references to the gays; replaced with charming tunes to set the mood. It was perfect! When we arrived, we ran into our pals, Bill Healy and Kathy Hartman; who were seated at the table next to us. I guess you could say that Erik and I enjoyed dinner and a show; and a show! Wink!
Saturday was spent having Breakfast with Isaiah; various errands, and getting some S.E.X. Sparkling Wine at Chicago’s Kafka Wine Co.. I’ll tell you what, that S.E.X. is such a tasty steal and clearly a lot of fun at parties. “Welcome! Would you like to have some Sex?
Saturday evening, Erik and I joined a small handful of close friends celebrating Bill Healy’s birthday. It was a nice time to make new friends and fellowship with old ones. Leave it up to Paul Kepner to develop a ditty called the 12-Days of Healy. There were a number of people there I was glad to see. Among them, it was nice to catch up with Advisor Edward and his boss, Author, Dr. Drew and my friend and physical therapist, Travis Ahlquist.
Erik and I took a moment and stepped up the street to El Mariachi to see my ex Jesse Rubly. He just started working there. It was nice to see his face and for Erik and I to have some time together.
Sunday was a lazy day all together. Taking coffee with ChicagoPride.com blogger, Trevor at Boystown’s Intelligentsia and spending time working on GoPride.com’s sites was really all that I did. I just adore a (kinda) day off!
Looks like many of you in Los Angeles enjoyed Micky's Cocktails with the Stars hosted by Scotty B. This week featured the Twinklight release party with models Kryz Perez and Brice Carson. YUM! You can see all the photos taken by Brendan-John on PrideLA.com
Happy Monday!

A life of Impact
Today, January 17th commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. A lot of us have the day off and although that is really nice, I hope you will take a moment to reflect on what this man’s life really represented!
Imagine living for something bigger than yourself. Think about doing and BEING a woman/man for a purpose. Ponder what it must have been like to put your life on the line for what you believe. Capture the courage he had to stand up to hate.
Whether you’re a lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender person or not Dr. King’s mission that all would be equal and get along can be your calling as well. In a month of New Year resolutions; perhaps all of us can resolve to follow his example!
Peace!

A Picture of Thanks!
Back in October of 2010, our GoPride.com boys Jefferson, Brock, Timmy and Trevor stole the show at Chicago's 14th Annual Northalsted Halloween Parade, with their “human canvas” costume.
They painted themselves from head to toe in white body paint; then supplied the colored paints and brushes for parade goers to use on them. It was SO creative; they stole the show! Not only was it damn cold, but they worked nonstop dancing, posing for photos, and letting creeps & creepers paint all over them.
These boys volunteered their time that evening. That alone was perhaps the most impressive part of their efforts! So many times I hear folks around the country badmouth young people today. Well, these guys are the best and they have my gratitude! To that end, I’m taking them for a thank-you dinner; courtesy of Cesar’s and the all-new GoPride Network.
You can see all the photos from the Halloween festivities on ChicagoPride.com.
Happy almost weekend Girls and Boys!

HUMP Day!
With so much devastation, turmoil, and bad news in the world today, I’d like to take our minds off of the crummy and on to the HUMP!
Not only is today the middle of the week, but technically one could surmise that it’s the beginning of the weekend. (Well, I know that’s stretching it a bit!) There is also the joy of admiring someone’s hump. Being a homosexual I tend to enjoy that one a lot.
At any rate, I say we should plan our weekend today! Why wait until Friday? There are plenty of great activities going on in WeHo, Boystown, and DC this week! Now that the GoPride Network of sites is up an growing; make the most of them and go out and about!
Don’t forget to plan now for Monday’s Martin Luther King Day observance. This is THE perfect day to give of yourself through volunteering.
I think I’m going to call in gay to work on Friday and make it an even longer weekend of looking at Humps!
Cheers Queers!
