New Treo

After replacing two Treo™ 650s with yet another one that has the same problems (rebooting & locking during operation), Verizon replaced my newest 650 with the Treo™ 700P.

I like the new streaming radio and the ability to download podcasts, at least shorter ones. I think I will download all of Marvin's posts. Maybe I can even download Joe G's fabulous podcast (no extortion in that endorsement although in his post-Quaker persona, Joe has much more of an edge.)

Quiet day. I slept under the influence of allergy meds during the 4.5 hour flight from Vegas. I got home and slept another 4 hours. Phew, I got my precious 8 hours!

This afternoon I met with my Support Committee, three folks from my local Quaker meeting who met with me monthly about the work that I do for the past three years. They help me get clarity on issues that arise and assist me with staying focused on my mission.

This time we discussed at length about asking the monthly, quarterly and yearly meetings to approve a travel minute that would help open doors for me to speak to Friends (aka Quakers) about LGBTIQ issues..

I like the process of having local and regional Friends involved in approving the travel minute. As a solo artist, I can easily go off and just do my own thing without any sort of community or healthy accountability.

Once we come up with a final draft of the travel minute, I'll share it on the blog.

Okay need to play with new features in my Treo™ 700P.

(Listening to the funky rap band Pigeon John on Morning Becomes Eclectic podcast--yummy)

Thanks for the links Joe. I still have to learn how to do that with the Treo™ 700P.

Of course we can simply develop a co-depndent cyber relationship where you provide all the links that I leave off.

I like treo. Mostly because Treo is the most common brand. name for aspirin in sweden.

Hm. Treo. Very interesting name for a multi-tasking phone thing.

But I think I like it as a name for aspirin better.

okay, I am already dissatisfied with my new Treo™ 700P. It just locks up way too much then it auto-reboots. That is what was happening with the 650. Ugh.

Sooo, I talked forever to tech support and they said I can trade it in for the Pocket PC XV6700

Anyone know anything about it? Should I trade up? (or is it trade over?)

My Gay Husband--A Spouse Speaks Out

The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

The False Image of LIA

John Smid and me-Graduation 1998 (above) & John Smid today (left) By now many have heard that Tennessee's Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities determined that the "ex-gay" program, Love in Action, is operating two “unlicensed mental health supportive living facilities”. LIA has until Friday, September 23 to respond. If LIA statements in Eartha Jane Melzer's article are indicative to how the "change" program might respond, we may see LIA change right before our eyes from a clinical mental health compound into a house of praise and worship. Gerard Wellman, business administrator for Love in Action, and a former Love in Action client, said Sept. 13 that the organization has been in contact with the state but would not comment further. “As a church, we operate under a different set of rules,” Wellman said. Curious, and what rules might these be? What is even more curious is that according to LIA's site only one staff member ...

Puzzled

Last night I performed Transfigurations-Transgressing Gender in the Bible at Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church in Glen Mills, PA (about 15 miles outside of Philly). I had a diverse audience of about 45 people -- college students, Quakers, straight, bi, trans and lesbian, young and old. I took my time with the piece maintaining a gentle meditative pace. For the ending when I reveal the identity of the narrator, I had instructed the light tech to dim the lights. Then as the closing music swelled, I asked her to raise the lights to their brigthest intensity. With the music playing, I exited. Always (up until last night) at this point the audience applauds, I wait 5 seconds then come out to take a bow. Last night I exited and then nothing. No one clapped. They sat quietly as the music played. I stood back stage puzzled, baffled. Now what do I do? Wait? Go out anyway? And I wondered for a moment, Did they hate it? Did I confuse them? Offend them? Bore them into a coma? After what ...
