Our dogs make the funniest noises when they play-fight

Our dogs Lady & Buxley were play-fighting today and making the funniest noises while we lay in bed resting!

A few years ago, Buxley played like this with Andy because JJ wasn’t as playful with him. Lady has been great for Buxley and vice-versa.

Nexus One Car Dock Test Drive (via Just Singin’ & Signin’ in the Sun)

This is the kind of techie thing I usually post to my own blog, but I’m adding it here because Andy & I made this video together and you can year us bantering about the dock throughout the video. Thanks, Andy, for being the videographer. :-)

I ordered the Nexus One Car Dock the day after it was released, and it arrived today by FedEx Ground. I put it in my car tonight to see how the car dock, Car Home, speakerphone, etc. worked. I'm happy I got the Car Dock, though I do wish the other Android apps like Phone and Contacts would go into landscape mode, because that's the way I like to view my Google Maps GPS navigation. … Read More

Daniel shakes his maracas

Here’s my husband being himself in public… again.

Fish swimming around room at Sea Life Aquarium

Andy & I went to the newly-opened Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills for the first time. One of my favorite rooms was this round room surrounded by a continuous circular tank in which schools of fish swim ’round & ’round.

Beautiful Westin Kierland Resort

My husband & I spent a week at the Westin Kierland resort in Scottsdale as a staycation around Memorial Day weekend. (We met seven years ago on Memorial Day weekend.) Basically in this video I show and tell how majestic the lobby and grand entrance to the back patio and golf course are, and give you a 360° view of it all.

YouTube – Beautiful Jerome (I sing thy praises!)

I think I got high on the thin air up at the mile-high altitude of Jerome, Arizona. There I was, taking a video of the beautiful panorama around me, when the beauty of Nature inspired me to sing! Ah-ha! Oo-hoo! Ha ha!

Laughing hysterically at hubby playing Wii Fit Plus

My husband & I got the Wii Fit Plus game today. That’s him flapping his arms like a bird to play Bird’s-eye Bull’s-eye, and me laughing hysterically in the background. I don’t know how much exercise we got out of our Wii Fit Plus tonight, but the laughs were priceless!

Our California Same-Sex Civil Marriage Ceremony

Andy & I had already been married by our rabbi at Dor Hadash in San Diego on August 8, 2004, but we jumped at the chance to make our partnership legal in California the first Saturday they performed these civil marriages: June 21, 2008. We were married at about 5:30 PM by a deputy named Michael, whom I recognized from the gay community. My friend Paul took this video with my Canon G9 camera, my mom and Andy’s friend David were witnesses, and also present were my mom’s friend Honey and David’s boyfriend Rich. There was an assistant in the room as well.

At the time we were married, this file was too large to upload to YouTube, I didn’t have the software to facilitate closed-captioning it, and YouTube didn’t yet allow for captions to be uploaded to accompany videos. Now, a year later, “we have the technology” (to quote from the opening sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man), and I have the honor of reliving this moment and crying at the wonder of it all.

I just want to say this: Love is gr8. Repeal Prop h8!

Singing "Lucky To Be Me"

This song sums up how I feel about meeting my life partner, Andy, five years ago this weekend.

The song is “Lucky To Be Me” by Leonard Bernstein from the musical On The Town. The lyrics (edit: by Betty Comden & Adolph Green) are: Continue reading

Cuddle Time with Doggies

I’m usually in on this myself, but it was great to be able to grab our point & shoot and get this little video of Buxley & Lady playing with each other and one of their daddies.
