James is going away

And it is happening soon! (e:James) will be gone for Portland on Thursday. (e:Jim) and I ran into each other at a party and he helped me realize that the hour is upon us. We should gather with him and celebrate before he goes!

Wednesday night is the best evening for (e:janelle) and I, and it works for (e:James) and (e:Jim). How about the rest of you?

(e:Jim) was thinking Zetti's. I'm down. Also willing to play host at my house, but I have Pets, which means it would have to be outdoors for (e:Paul) and any other allergic folk. What do the rest of you say?

drew writes at 03:34:06 06/16/10 - Comment #56797: Can you guys be at Zetti's at 8pm? I may be a little late, but I will be there/then.

jim writes at 02:55:38 06/16/10 - Comment #56796: Is this happening tonight still? If so what time :)

tinypliny writes at 02:59:30 06/15/10 - Comment #56776: Oh man. BOTH (e:jim) and (e:james) are leaving?!

lauren writes at 11:39:05 06/15/10 - Comment #56771: You BOTH are leaving?? Aww boo...even though we didn't hang out all that much, it was nice to occasionally run into you here and there. Hopefully I will get to see you guys before you leave!

heidi writes at 03:16:48 06/15/10 - Comment #56747: Wednesday works for me. Lemme know! Loosing (e:James) is :-(

libertad writes at 11:41:41 06/14/10 - Comment #56746: I'm sad to see you guys leave. I wish I could participate in the dinner but with my mom being in town it would be pretty difficult unless it was on Friday or sometime over the weekend. If it is I will definitely try to be there.

jim writes at 09:00:41 06/14/10 - Comment #56741: Yeah, James and I are moving to Portland, Oregon. James is leaving at the end of this week and I'll be joining him in October.

lauren writes at 12:14:31 06/14/10 - Comment #56724: James is going away, as in, forever?

paul writes at 12:04:16 06/13/10 - Comment #56654: OOps, that was me. I was still testing stuff as news.

news writes at 12:03:47 06/13/10 - Comment #56653: Mike and dave and I all have Dave Mom in town at my mother's house dinner on wednesday night if any other night could work, that would be awesome.

Pride parade

Do I lose my evangelical card if I take the kids to watch the Pride parade? As I remember it's pretty family-friendly (more church floats than anything else.) Are any (e:peeps) going to watch between Lexington and Lafayette?

enknot writes at 10:42:14 06/10/10 - Comment #56619: I think you get a free card upgrade. Without getting into a huge philosophical debate about the blah blah blah of yeah sure what ever, teaching tolerance for good people who want to live fruitful, productive (fabulous and fantastic) lives is always good in my book, and should be in every book but some books are different than others, but we must learn how to accept as many books as we can which brings it all back around....

Sometimes I think you should be made king of religion.

I like Drew.

i'm working on creating an ally program and came across this resource.

jim writes at 09:36:14 06/07/10 - Comment #56581: In Portland every single church that I remember walking by had a rainbow sticker or flag.

james writes at 11:36:52 06/06/10 - Comment #56580: It is actually rather shocking how many church groups are represented at pride here. Not that it is shocking that there are LGBT positive church groups, but that they make such a large percentage of the groups represented compared to other city's pride festivals.

Also, wasn't there a romp-a-room for people to bring their kids to?

brit writes at 11:44:48 06/06/10 - Comment #56572: Good for you Drew, though, if I remember reading correctly Janelles' excellent journals about being a first time foster carer correctly would the authorities heads not explode sooner than the evangelicals?

Either way, I wish more dads were like you and Mike - it is the only way society can evolve and I hope if you do take them you have a wonderful day

mrmike writes at 10:27:47 06/06/10 - Comment #56570: That's a pretty big swath. I might watch closer to Lexington. As a parent, you're in good company. I've been told by the fundamentalists that I'm going to hell and should have my son taken away for exposing him to the parade. Chose not to mention that the daughters were in it. Might have caused his pentacostel head to implode.

metalpeter writes at 09:32:26 06/06/10 - Comment #56567: I don't know where I'm watching it from yet really, it is kinda a feeling it out kinda thing. I think taking the kids would be a good idea. Besides it would sound kinda odd if you just went alone and left them at home. Will it shock them, not sure really, but I think it is important for kids to see that they should be proud of who they are, I know the parade is more then just about that. Yes having to much pride leads to bad things sometimes in life. But you should still be proud of who you are and not ashamed and hiding in a corner so to speak. Everyone has different beliefs. I think more people should not think homosexuality is a sin and that they are evil. But I also think that people who do think that way should at least think that even though they may dissaprove that everyone should still have the same rights. I say more people of faith should go to the Parade, but that is just my take.
