Doing I Did Today:

Exercise! Yay! I broke a sweat putting my shoes on today, so I suppose I need to start training if I'm going to go up the Peak with Sherri, Ted and Jake. What have I gotten myself into?

Delivered a dozen singing telegrams on my lunch break. Some to friends, some to complete strangers in restaurants. I must say, I looked rather dashing in my tuxedo with my false moustache.

Narrowed my poetry down to a dozen of my best, and selected three reputable journals to submit to. I will divide them up and send them off, and I will have kept my promise to myself.

Dinnered with Pat, Cindy, and Mary-K, in honor of Pat's birthday. These girls are super-fabulous. The best thing--well, the second best thing about being gay is uncomplicated friendships with women. It sounds trite to say that these three would walk through fire for me, but they have actually done it. Literally.

Sang at church for a Taize service. Taize is a contemplative form of worship, wherein a reading is followed by a chant and a period of silence. No sermon. No offertory. Just distilled presence.

Chatted with Cem for an hour. It's cool that we are each others heroes.
