Okay… okay! No more whiney posts! This last week has really been about rolling with the punches… It was crammed full of high drama, sorrow, fights and even a laugh or two! High Drama: I am not even going to give air time to the drama that Carolyn and I have navigated this last week! […]

It has been the week from hell. Between folks enjoying the thrill of being jerks a little too much and the Bush Administration’s administration of CDC/HUD $ (ie, jerk social service funding in favor of war), I wanted to pull my hair out. I had to take several breaks this week to spend some time […]

I’m off to USCA tomorrow. I rode my bike to the clinic this morning to get a little work done but was back at the apartment mid-morning because one of the only TG Buddhist nuns wanted to visit for the day. Some of you may remember Kim, (I’m sure none of you have seen her […]

What a dynamic, dedicated… and diverse group (FTM, MTF who are HIV+, HIV-, younger, older, steeped in the community & green to the community, European-American, Hispanic-American & African-American)! They have managed to put […]

I’m tired today. It seems as though it has been a really long day! And the rain… it just keep coming!  The Thursday Night TG Potluck Social was eventful. I saw a lot of folks there that had not ever come before – which was nice! I have committee meetings all day tomorrow… 1st     Performance Improvement […]
