The past few weeks, Betty Please and I have gone to a couple of excellent concerts. Our concert going usually seems to happen in spurts, kind of like how things, usually bad things, happen in threes. First we saw Uh Huh Her play in Chicago, then we saw Tegan & Sara play in Indy. Now we just need a third show to round it out.

MG came home with a partly-finished "book" of pictures and writing for Mother's Day. When I glimpsed it in her backpack and coyly suggested that she might not want me to see it right away, she didn't scurry off to hide it until Sunday as I'd expected; instead, she flung it angrily onto the couch, then into the recycling, and started crying about how much she hated her teacher, how mean the teacher was, how the teacher yelled at her about not being able to finish her book, how the teacher didn't let her do two books or two projects but said she could do one for Mama for Mother's Day and one for me at Father's Day, and how she never wanted to look at that book, never never never ever again, how she knew it wasn't my fault but she was so upset she just HAD to yell and cry.

Three citizens from the Greek Island of Lesbos, or three Lesbians, have filed a law suite against one of their local organizations, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, to ban use of the word 'lesbian,' as in sexual orientation, in the organization's name.

The other day I googled "lesbian blogs" using google blog search, just to see what I might find. The first real link I found, that wasn't porn, was a post called 6 Degrees of Separation, on a blog called Bears Mountain. I started chuckling by the second line of the post when she said

A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that among adults online, gays and lesbians read more blogs than heterosexuals.

Tax day has come and gone for the year, but I'm still sitting here in a tax funk, a little bitter about it all. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind throwing my fair share of my hard earned money down the rat hole of misappropriated and mismanaged government spending, it's my civic duty.
