It’s almost impossible for me to take a good pic of my husband. The minute I aim a lens at him, he freezes. But after dinner, with a good day behind us, we managed.

I've been obsessed by bands’ stage setups since I was a young. I assembled this image of the end of #radiohead ’s first Bologna concert last night from various stills in Youtuber Elly's audience video. Just after they performed “Karma Police.”

Don’t tell me I don’t have self restraint! I saw this ad on Facebook and did NOT reply with this photo from “Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex.”

Facebook promised me a giant red moon looming over AI farmers, washing the world in a blood haze, but this pretty, too.

The rabbit who has been visiting our backyard seems to have decided to stay. He is welcome, as long as he doesn’t eat our vegetable patch next summer. But that’s a long way away.

I started collecting L&R with the 3rd issue of the original series in about 1983. The hardcover pictured below (1 of 2 volumes) is amazing.

Tomorrow night is the latest edition of Toronto Queer Noir, a literary night of “be gay do crimes.”
I’m reading my compact noir short-story, “The Darkling Road.” Also, looking forward to being on the bill with legendary Toronto theatre luminary, Sky Gilbert and other great writers!

I’m writing a novel that takes place downtown in 1981, and the research is tripping me out. I lived in North York then and came downtown for fun, but seeing photos now of streets I knew then is both weirdly familiar and utterly alien. I now remember this cheesy “Gourmet” sign at Bloor and Yonge.
