I’m not referring to the song title.
I’m not stuttering.
I’m not cold.
The slightly chattering teeth would be the chill of anticipation and, if I’m being honest, just a touch of nerves about a rather monumental decision I’ve made.
At the end of January 2013 I shifted my...

The heat. Without question that is the first thing every one mentions when I tell them of this journey to visit The Downtown Project in the dead of summer.
“How can you possibly go to Las Vegas in August?” (Well, I was invited…)

First impressions, they say, are lasting ones, but if there’s one thing that becomes abundantly clear after spending a few hours in downtown Las Vegas it’s that of another old adage – things are not what they seem.

When Rogers & Hammerstein wrote Carousel in 1956 I’m pretty sure that they weren’t referring to June being Pride month; but since it is, it feels appropriate to reference the fact that June is bustin’ OUT.
Over the next several weeks I’ll be penning a...
