| I've been trying to get a good shot of a LGBTQ Pride flag flapping in the breeze for a long time now, and 2013 was the year I got this one - and I'm pretty happy with it! |
What a year!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Wind!
Nathan Albert, the man who hugged a man in his underwear, is now using crowdfunding to raise a small amount of funds to publish his book, of the same name. Nate was the son of my cross-the-street neighbor, trained as an actor before entering the ministry. He is one year younger than my older twins. This is a link to the indiegogo site for the book: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/believe-belong-become-a-pastor-s-journey-to-hugging-a-man-in-his-underwear
My very best to you!
