I’ve been visiting Seattle since Wednesday and will return home tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I got to meet my two new baby nephews, born within a week of each other to my sister Jen and my sister-in-law Erika. Their names are Zach and Sam.<\/p>\n

I’ve started up picture galleries for myself and some of my family members:<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the rest of the family will start posting pictures too!<\/p>\n

We had a good time celebrating Dan’s birthday and I had a pleasant lunch with my mother. I’ve been staying at my father’s place and he and I are planning to have lunch with my brother today, after which I’ll probably head over to the house where the rest of the family lives in the evening.<\/p>\n

In addition to visiting my family, I met up with a bunch of queer longhairs here in Seattle. In addition to great meals at varioous restaurants and some bar hopping, we attended a great production of the play “Hair” at the 5th Street Theatre. I was crying throughout the performance of what is now a theatre classic. It seems particularly apropos in this time of U.S. interventions abroad, although parts of the play definitely are dated to the 60s era.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Mike, Herb, and J. Steve for organizing a fabulous weekend of longhair events! It was good to meet Bryan from near Vancouver and to see Seattlite David Kerlick as well as Drake from Bend, O’er Again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I got a chance to meet a faerie named Boom in person… it was fun to get to know him better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
