My good friend Sanjay and Jodi have a wonderful little girl named Emma
who we got to visit with this month. Below she’s enjoying the cream cheese
more than her bagel.

Lee hosted an Oscar party at his condo where he made Margaritas.

And we all know that CG loves him some Margaritas.

And to my very big surprise he made this great birthday cake for me.
I met Lee about this time last year and I’m so glad he’s in my life.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is by far one of my favorite sci-fi series. I have several seasons on DVD and am always willing to watch re-runs on Spike TV. I know I’ve seen every episode of the 7 seasons but they are so good that’s is usually good for a political statement or just a laugh.
I don’t go to conventions or anything but if I were to go to Las Vegas you can be I’d go to the Hilton and get assimilated by the Borg.
My coworker Tana has been so helpful in getting me settled and up to speed
with my relatively new job. It was so much fun to help make this shower a surprise for her.
We had our conference call so our cross-country team could be in on her surprise at the same time.

I had the task of photographing it so the rest of the team could later see the
expression on her face when she saw what they’d gotten her.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
I have hairy feet and when I was in high school some guys said I had hobbit feet.
I never really knew what that meant until “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” was released.
It was then that I was offended and hungry to know what happened to the ring.
My friend lisa bought me the definitive LOTR book for xmas 2002. It is the most complete and accurate version of the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. ”
The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, published for convenience in three volumes.”
If you like to watch movies but don’t like to wait in lines at the Blockbuster or worry about late fees then you should look into Netflix.
I’ve been a member since January of 2002, and it’s been great. They have a great selection of all types of movies including gay/lesbian flicks that not all blockbusters carry.

Down With Love is another favorite of mine.
It is a great modern celebration of the classic “Pillow Talk” type movies that Rock Hudson and Doris Day made.
Another Sci-fi series I really enjoy is DUNE,

I’ve seen the original DUNE with Sting release in 1984 but the series the Sci-Fi channel produced was great. I have the entire DUNE mini-series including Children of Dune on DVD.
I usually get so into it that I have to watch all 5 DVDs!
