at kroger today, i noticed one of the employees marking down all the summer/picnic-type merchandise and shuffling it all down to the end of the aisle, getting ready to move it all out...
"the christmas merchandise coming in?" i asked her...
"not yet, the school supplies are taking over!" was her response...
i suppose i should be relieved that it's school supplies - even though i was joking when i asked, i really would NOT have been surprised if they were getting ready for christmas merchandise...

Happy (?!?) Anniversary
My 2005 datebook from the InSightOut book club (a spiffy LBGT mail order book club) informs me that it is today, June 27, that is the anniversary of the Stonewall riots. It's definitely got me thinking - how far have we come since 1969? I think there are lots of different answers to that question, both positive and negative. It brings up a lot more questions in me as well. I suppose between this anniversary and last night's episode of Queer As Folk that had a plot line about Propositions taking away our rights, I'm thrown into an state of introspection that hasn't hit me for quite a while. Perhaps it's just because i was ill and unable to attend any Pride events this year, but if anyone else hasn't really given this stuff a good hard thinking about lately, i'd strongly encourage it.
