pride month

this weekend

nyc

celebrates with the annual

 pride parade

people of every gender 

come together to celebrate 

their right to be who they are

nyc has the aids memorial on west 12 street

a short walk from the first us monument to gay rights

christopher park

 across from stonewall bar

where riots in 1969 sparked the gay right movement

statues by george segal

are its centerpiece

a reminder that love knows no gender

one random act of kindness

i am still here

if you know me

 you know

 i have had sinus issues 

forever

more recently 

i had several dental surgeries

they all failed 

because

 wait

 for

 it

sinus issues

a ct scan showed there was a rogue polyp in my sinus

 that has been interfering with the dental stuff

damn that polyp

on tuesday the polyp was removed

be gone damn polyp

severe headaches ensued

but thankfully

they've receded

hooray

hopeful that once this mess is all healed

 the dental fixes will work

and

 then 

i will have a big smile to share
