swimfinssf’s posterous

Just a quick update for a Sunday as I hide in the bedroom from the painters... One of the many projects we have going on is having the upstairs painted... They're almost done and its going to look HOT but in the mean time our place looks like construction site AGAIN (i'm getting good at living in shrapnel)... All of our stuff is heaped in the center of every room with big plastic tarps over them. I'll post pictures when its done though (once its put back together of course)
 
Aside from that not much to report sadly. Work is going pretty well though I've got TONS that i need to be doing it and, sadly, there is only 24 hours in every day and Kevin informs me I have to spend at least a couple of those hours sleeping and eating. Ah well.
 
And one more thing - just for fun... A friend of mine from college sent some REALLY OLD pictures he found of a ski trip to breck... SCARY but its me and some really shiny purple Oakleys... SCARY...
 
thats it for now... off to a party... more later

Ok... i'm sorry.. this is just too priceless not to share...

One of my personal heros, Del Martin, passed away today at age 87... Del Martin along with her wife Phyllis Lyon are two of the longest heros of the GLTB Civil rights movement. If anyone doubts the longevity of Gay and Lesbian marriages they only need look at these two - they have been together for 55 years and were FINALLY allowed to marry in California on June 16th...

If you would like to read more about her here are a few good links:

I owe much of the freedom and happiness I enjoy today in no small part to these ladies!

Safe Travels! :-)
