  • Not so Invisible

    I believe I have mentioned that I finally stepped up and out by joining my local equality LGBT group.  This is huge in the sense those who talked behind my back will have to find someway else to entertain themselves.   Regardless of the outcome for all of them, I had to do what...

At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, all of these places are pubs or taverns of sorts.   All three are ve...

  • The Turtle and the Hair
