Whooo-Whooo! Babies!
In the last 24 hours, I’ve learned that TWO couples in my life are pregnant. I’m not yet at liberty to disclose identifying characteristics, not even to you, dear blogosphere. Suffice it to say that I am DELIGHTED for them both.

Things That Make Me Mad

Happy National Coming Out Day
I forgot! Today is National Coming Out Day.
You probably all know that I think coming out, with the attitude that ‘this is who I am, and it’s really quite ordinary,’ makes more of a difference to empand LGBT civil rights than anything else.

Traveling, Sleeping & Pumping Like a Madwoman
This is my first attempt to blog from my treo, so if it turns out unreadable, sorry!
First, thanks Jen & Bree, for the great travel-pumping suggestions. So far, so good. I’ll post more about that when I’m at a keyboard.
