Out of the Pocket was reviewed on www.teensreadtoo.com.
OK, so now we know enough to take a look at my pre-season prognostications. Let me be the first to say I put gay sportswriters everywhere to shame.

And I quote:

Early NFL prognostications: The Giants take a step backward.
Chuck and I were walking down Bleeker Street toward the East side today when I saw an "Optimo" sign above a boarded-up storefront.

I think you can probably tell a real New Yorker by who remembers Optimo. If you lived here in the 70s, you'd probably recall that there was an Optimo on every block.
Let's take a step away from politics for a moment (thank God!) and focus on something interesting that was sent to me: A woman who is writing a book to help South Asian families with gay members is looking for people to interview.
I've gotten quite a bit of feedback on what I wrote about Rick Warren, and it was a mixed bag. It's to be expected; it's a hot topic and my view is actually out of line with my normal politics.

My husband flat-out disagrees with me on this. As do many of my friends.
I went to see Milk this weekend in Chelsea, and was overwhlemed by it.

Let me first say I am a proudly biased source. I think there was a part of me needing to see a mainstream movie about a gay American hero, and Milk delivered, in spades.

Sometimes my gay pride wilts.
I received this review of Out of the Pocket by e-mail. It was written by Lance Shreeve, a high school student from Arizona. I was really pleased by it, because, well, read it for yourself.
