Sorry I've been such a slacker with blogging lately. I'm going to try and do better. And just wait I'm going to Florida in a couple of weeks to spend 8 days with my family. I'll have plenty to blog about and plenty of time to blog.
This weekend I was busy. The Executive Director of the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists was in town. There was a regional AWAB event on Saturday night and then he preached here on Sunday morning. He stayed at my house. He originally e-mailed me his itinerary and it said Monday. But then he kept saying that he was leaving on Sunday. But then when he arrived he realized that he wasn't leaving until Monday. So he was here all weekend. Then I had the gays over Monday night for dinner. So I have been dragging today.
At the event on Saturday night the East Bay Gay Men's Chorus performed. They sang two songs. They were in their tuxedos. if I'm getting in a tuxedo I'm singing more than two songs. But honestly I'm glad they didn't. Because they were not good. They are clearly the B group compared to the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. Let's start with their attire. Many of them were completely disheveled--crooked bow ties, cumberbunds up too high so their belts were showing. Then they just weren't all that great. And then they sang We are Family from Dreamgirls. You know the last post I made with Bea Arthur and Nell Carter. Well all I could think about while they were singing was Bea Arthur. It was hard not to laugh. But it was near impossible not to laugh at the man in the center of the front row. He was counting the beat with his body, rocking forward and backward. At first I thought he had some developmental dissability. But then I realized that was not the case. I was biting my lip so that I wouldn't laugh out loud. Hilarious!!!
Today is election day. Our mayor, Gavin Newsom, has called me three times over the past couple of weeks. Do you think that means we are dating now? I think it does. He's pretty much gauranteed to be reelected. He is running essentially unopposed. HIs opponents include a nudist activist who's only platform has been to make Golden Gate Park clothing optional, a homeless cab driver and someone named Chicken John. Chicken John and the homeless cab driver may be the same person. I'm not that familiar with all of them. But I voted.
So that is it for today. Until tomorrow.
Peace out!

I wish I had candidates as interesting as your choices. Then maybe I would have voted. Instead it would have been me randomly choosing some name I didn't recognize and had no idea who the person was. Whereas if I had Chicken John and a nudist activist, those are people that I would know about!
