Chicago and Wicked, one last time
I had a great time in Chicago with C this past weekend! We got to see the penultimate Wicked performance (my 8th time!) and it was a beautiful thing. We tried for tickets for the final performance, but no luck for me. All around a great weekend: Wicked, lunch at Tweet, Big Chicks and fun times with C. Here are a couple of pics of the outside of the theater, lit for the last time at night before Saturday's performance.

New postcrossing!
I received a couple of new postcrossing postcards in the mail!
The first came from Ccici in Shanghai who sent me this postcard of a traditional Chinese painting.
The next postcard came from Monica in Italy and shows some of the sights of her hometown of Bereguardo.
The last postcard came from Taimi in Finland. I have received a postcrossing postcard from him previously, and he just sent this to me out of the blue.

New Postcards!
I received 2 new postcards in the mail today. They weren't from postcrossing, but were the last 2 from C that he sent before he left Florida. Karma is going to get him one of these days for the one postcard, but the other is of the beach where he spent most of his time on vacation. Loverly!
Interview with Penelope Przekop
Penelope Przekop runs a blog called Aberration Nation. In her own words, her blog "is not about world peace, going green, or gay pride. It's not about healing all the ills that exist in our growing culture of materialism and instant gratification. It's about individual self-reflection and optimism. It's making lemonade out of lemons and smiling through our tears, knowing tears are part of package, and that tomorrow is a new day filled with opportunity and greater wisdom." What she's doing there is a really great thing. She takes people's aberrations, or the things that they perceive or that others perceive as being different or wrong, and cast them in a new light, showing how we can grow and take something positive away from these "aberrations."
She is also the author of the book, Aberrations. It was one of my Top 10 books read for 2008. Give it a read sometime, you won't be disappointed.
Penelope recently asked to interview me about what it is like for me being gay. To most people reading my blog, you already know me and this won't come as a surprise to you. To some it might. It is part of who I am; it's not a defining factor, but just a part. I'm honored that Penelope wanted to interview me, and I'd like everyone to stop by her blog, not just for my interview, but to read what she is doing there. If there were more people like her around who wanted to take the time to show that our differences can really be our strengths, I'd think that there would a lot less discord. Thanks, Penelope!

New postcrossing!
I received a new postcrossing postcard in the mail!
My latest came from Jenny in Finland.
I also received another postcard from my friend C who has been on vacation in FL for the last 3 weeks. He thought this was funny, but the jokes on him. He's coming home tomorrow and we're supposed to have a winter storm tonight. Ha!
