This blog contains a compilation of recent articles--mostly political, sports and local theatre reviews-- appearing in MD Theatre Guide, Baltimore OUTloud, Washington Blade, Gay Life, Outsports.com, published letters, and commentary. My letters to the editor have appeared in such publications as TIME, USA Today, Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Columbia Flier/Howard County Times, City Paper (Baltimore)and Washington Blade. I have a wonderful spouse who has been the love of my life since February 1980. I married him on July 23, 2009 in Provincetown, MA--our first and favorite vacation spot.
