March is an interesting month. Winter is over though it is often still chilly with just enough warm spring days sprinkled in at the end to give the idea of summer coming.

It is June, one of my favorite months – Pride Month! While I am lucky and privileged to be out and proud, this is a month for everyone discovering who they are, supporting those they love, and cheering each other on. LGBT pride was started with a riot, and we have fought hard to get […]
Welcome to April! Here in the Bay Area, we have been inundated with storms. So, I am hopeful that spring will bring better weather and less power outages!
