Nearly complete but for KE…
When Jen walked in, Maggie gave the wiggly squeal, and Otter just went nuts. Have I mentioned how much these dogs love Jen? Did I mention that they’re in good company? (As in: Amy and I love her tons too!)
Much to be thankful for tonight.
It’s been a rough few weeks around here, mostly at work. So after today’s gloom-and-doom, I headed to Crossfit, got my butt handed to me by wall balls and the knees-to-elbows. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I did get all my pushups done strict (i.e. not on my knees), so that’s progress.
Then I came home, realized that the vague feeling of nausea wasn’t related to working out, but rather to the tiny, late lunch I ate today thanks to my gloom-and-doom sort of day at work. Amy rushed out to grill our dinner (YUM) and I got a little food in me and started thinking more about my day.
And then I realized:
So while I know I’m not the only one who’s feeling awfully overwhelmed about work these days, those are all things for which I am eternally grateful, and I don’t want to forget it. Not everyone is in such a situation, especially not these days, and I never want to take these blessings for granted.

After four years of owning the same cellphone – the lovely little Samsung SCH-A950 – I finally gave in to smartphone envy. No, I didn’t jump ship from Verizon to AT&T for the iPhone. I’ve been tempted, but have heard way too much about AT&T’s annoying coverage gaps all over the country to feel comfortable doing that. Instead, I opted for a Droid Eris.
It’s about the same size as an iPhone, which I like. It’s got a camera, great connection to all the Google apps, and apparently is a pretty good phone. Since I just got it less than an hour ago, I haven’t had much time to play with it too much, but I’m really excited! I’ll be sure to report back in a few days once I’ve had a chance to get used to it.
Apparently tribes don’t have sub-tribes.
Here’s the thing: lesbians tend to befriend other lesbians. There are in-jokes and there’s culture and obviously there needs to be a manual for those who are newly out so they aren’t quite so clueless when hanging out with lesbians who’ve been out longer than them.
Here’s the other thing: CrossFitters tend to befriend other CrossFitters. There are in-jokes and there’s culture and obviously there needs to be a manual for those who are new CrossFitters so they aren’t quite so clueless when hanging out with folks who’ve been CrossFitting longer than them.
You’d think there would be a subculture within either group that would encompass the other, wouldn’t you? Well, I can’t find it. And I’m frankly baffled.
Case in point in terms of not being able to find anything: the two threads on gay Crossfitters over on the Crossfit forums were closed, apparently because people kept fighting and arguing (mostly it was trolls who don’t “approve of” the “gay lifestyle” who came in and picked fights, and the LGBT folks and allies engaged.). Now sexuality – well, specifically non-heterosexuality – is lumped with religion and politics as verboten topics over there. Just lovely. I sooooo enjoy being a banned topic. Googling turned up very little, other than the fact that most Crossfit gyms don’t update their blog software enough (holy disgusting link spam in the comments…) and that the term “gay” is still used as a very common insult. Sigh.
So I put this out there: are they any other LGBT CrossFitters out there, other than the 3 I know at my affiliate?
