Saint David of Scotland
Okay, so I’ve been giving this a lot of thought lately. I’m a lapsed Catholic and have been practicing Buddhism for awhile now. But I’ve also been doing a lot of work on my genealogy on ancestry.com. So where am I going with all this, you might ask? I have recently discovered, in the time I’ve been researching my family, that I am descended from many, many Saints! Well, that got me to thinking… am I doing a disservice to my ancestors by denying the faith that they lived (and in some cases died) for? Well, the answer I came up with is… YES!
So I took off my Buddhist charm and put back on my cross. I’m still going to keep what I took away from Buddhism… meditation, chanting, mala beads, etc. (for a while anyway), but I’m also going to add back in my Catholic prayers and rosary. I am NOT going to go back to church, though!!! The Church has a LOT of problems they have to work out before I go back there again… like how they treat Gays! Let me know what you think about this post or any of my others. Thanks… and God bless!
BTW: I also found some Jewish ancestors in my research, so I may have to include some of those traditions into my practices, too! 
This is my first attempt to make and edit a video… hope it works out… fingers crossed!

Queer 3 dollar bill
The Salvation Army will soon be setting up their kettles and ringing those annoying bells… if they haven’t already! In protest of their anti-gay stance, I am asking you either to boycott them this year… and until they change their attitude against “my people”… or put one of these “Queer 3 dollar bills” in their kettles. You can copy it from the following website and print it out. Thanks for your support.

This is possibly the most irreverent take on the Christmas classic… “A Christmas Carol” ever made! Bill Murray plays the horribly ruthless TV exec Frank Cross (the Scrooge in this version). He is visited by three of the most unconventional ghosts you will ever see… and Carol Kane is the funniest (and most vicious) ”Ghost of Christmas Past,” ever!!! John Forsythe, Wendy Malick, Michael J. Pollard, Karen Allen, Robert Mitchum, and Bobcat Goldthwait round out the cast. Don’t miss it this holiday season… you’ll regret it if you do.
A memorable line from the movie… “Well, Charles Dickens would of wanted to see her nipples then.”
It’s here again… “A Diva’s Christmas Carol” starring Vanessa L. Williams! The classic Dickens tale is retold with attitude and a female Scrooge… first name… Ebony. Lots of fun and funny lines… great Christmas songs, too. Kathy Griffin makes a fantastic “ghost of Christmas past!” Enjoy it… I ALWAYS do!
A funny line… “Stop being SO hauntable!”
This one stars Nancy McKeon (Jo from “Facts of Life”) as Jane, a stressed-out ad exec, who, on her way to a company Christmas party, has a car accident and is knocked into an alternate reality where she is not only married but has two kids! Lots of crazy stuff happens, including serving Christmas dinner to the homeless at the church where she is head of the Alter Guild and has cooked all the food… btw: she doesn’t cook, do charity, or go to church in her “other” life. A special treat… Dixie Carter plays Jane’s mother. Lots of fun… a must see… enjoy!
Great line from the movie… “What is this? Where is my coat? Did you undress me?!”
This one stars Jennifer Grey as a photographer on her way to Aspen to surprise her fiance for Christmas… her Italian fiance! She has lots of trouble trying to get there, but meets a nice man (okay, so she doesn’t think he’s very nice, at first) and his daughter on the way… spends time with them and his mother and well… then the Christmas magic happens!!! Check out this crazy road-trip… lots of fun… and lots of funny lines, too… enjoy! :-)
A great line from the movie… “You, two, eat your moral vegetables. Tom and I’ll eat some dead flesh.”
Okay, so my favorite movie of all time is… “Somewhere in Time” with Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. Just in case you’ve never seen it… it’s the story of a young playwright, Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) who is approached by an old woman after the opening of one of his plays. She gives him a pocket watch and asks him to come back to her! Of course, he’s never seen her before and doesn’t quite know what to make of the whole bizarre incident. Years later he takes a trip (because he has writer’s block) and he runs across a photo taken of a young actress (played by Jane Seymour) from 1912. He’s captivated by her and vows to learn all he can about her. That’s when he finds out that the young actress is actually the old woman from years before! Now, he must travel back in time to meet and woo her! Of course they do meet and they fall in love, but there are “complications.” Be sure to check out this wonderful movie sometime… Somewhere in Time, that is!.
A great line from the movie… “I am not a doormat. Do not attempt to wipes your boots on me!”
I am a 50 something gay man living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My partner and I have been together 21 years… we have 3 dogs, 1 bird, 1 indoor-cat, 3 barn-cats, and 14 goats. I’m inviting you to come along on a journey of self-discovery.
