I have a friend visiting from Denmark right now and we have been doing a lot of walking around the city. Yesterday, we caught the Gay Pride parade down in the West Village. It was so much fun!!
The energy was electric, so many happy people. I love watching the drag queens and many creative floats (a lot of gay marriage themed). By the time we reached the parade it had been going for about 5 hours and still no end in sight.

Was sitting with my friend Shannon working on our computers when her husband called and said he had heard Micheal Jackson died. We immediately flipped on the news and saw for ourselves. Being a child of the 80’s I remember when Thriller came out. Our math teacher made a deal with us-if we all did good on a test he would let us watch the full length video as a reward. When i remember Micheal Jackson, I think of him as the picture you see above. I was never convinced that the guy who wrote PYT, Billie Jean, Thriller was the same weird looking dude we saw shuffling into court in his pajamas. I love to sing along to his old songs but always had an issue with his charges of sexual molestation against children. And it will be interesting to see what lies ahead for his children. It’s kind of sad to lose a legend from your own generation but too be honest I have been mourning the death of the old Micheal Jackson for a long time.
Just returned from a lovely visit home. I took some pics of my mom’s lovely lawn and garden. This is the front.
And here is a picture of part of the back garden.
I mowed both lawns and was quite proud of myself! I also did some lawn repair on the back. Hope it grows! Mom said she would send a photo. :>
