Thanks For The Memories, Timber Jim
I have so many fond memories of my days hanging around PGE Park in downtown Portland (back when it was known as Civic Stadium). My wardrobe was mostly Timber Green and Gold throughout my late teens and I had the honour of interviewing Jimmy Kelly for my school newspaper (a player so popular that he received six write-in votes for the Mayor of Portland). "Timber Jim" Serrill is indelibly etched in my memories of cheering on the boys from the front row of Section 6. Always gracious, generous and humble, Jim is among the Timbers' most passionate supporters (through every iteration of the franchise) and is, in my opinion, the Mayor of Soccer City, U.S.A.
Enjoy your retirement, Timber Jim! You've earned that Lifetime Season Ticket!

Giving Jay Leno My Gayest Look
Melissa McEwan over at Shakesville reminded me why I refuse to watch Jay Leno and, inspired by playwright Jeff Whitty's response to Leno, has amassed a very impressive collection of Shakesville's Gayest Looks for Leno.
Yours Truly is in the mix, as is Dan Savage and Armisted Maupin (FTW!). If you'd like to send in Your Gayest Look for Jay Leno, Liss has a link to do so at the top of the "Gayest Looks for Leno" post.
edited to add: Now you can see the gallery of gayest looks for Leno on My Gayest Look. Also posted is the segment with Ryan Phillippe that prompted this response and a link to donate your own gayest look to the gallery.

This Makes Me Weep and Laugh
(For some reason YouTube is being all assy on my Mac, so if you're getting the endless loading spiral, just hit the play button and you should see the video.)

Congratulations to Jane Kay!
Jane Kay, the environmental reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, was recently recognized as the top environmental beat reporter in the nation by the Society of Environmental Journalists.
In addition to being a very brilliant and gifted writer, Jane is my former neighbour in San Francisco! I used to kitty-sit for Chet and Isabel. Having been a "dog person" all my life (up to that point), I never realized how wonderful it was to hang out with kitties until Jane's furkids showed me that cats have amazing and diverse personalities!
Congratulations, Jane! It's a very richly deserved honour!
