Vibrant.(Still) Unrepentant. Badass. Old. Queer

Good Morning, Kittens. Happy MLK, Jr. Day! I had a very good weekend, despite the frigid weather. Friday, SCGB and I hung out.

Saturday, I slept in and, later, had dinner with Mark. It went well. Thank you for asking.

All I remember thinking was "um. yeah. besides the BLAST area being totally destroyed." I guess that doesn't count as environmental damage.
