lady-man shannon
These are pictures of my friend Shannon wearing a moustache she made out of her hair.
I took these pics at night in the park, we were hanging out there because that’s what people do here in summer!
She was dressed up to go to a queer party that was part of Gay Pride weekend here in [...]
our beautiful hood
Today was a beautiful day. I’ve been holed up inside studying for my statistics exam on Tuesday but I took some time out to “jog” down to the lakeshore. It is so amazingly different in the summer. Swarming with peeps.

Ralph Stanley
Lately I’ve been listening to a whole lot of Ralph Stanley (aka Dr Ralph Stanley, official doctor of bluegrass) that BJ downloaded for me, he is a real grandfather of bluegrass, a banjo pioneer blessed with such a beautiful voice, still singing and recording at 82.
I am crazy about him. I would dearly [...]
