Thank You to Marc Shaiman (and Scott)

In addition to all that can be said for these two extraordinary men, I would like to add my own thank you.

Thank you for kissing eacother on the Tony Awards broadcast. Thank you for letting my parents give me shocked look at the sight of two men in love, to which I could only respond "What?"

Thank you for assuring me that maybe, just maybe, I might also fall in love.

Love? What does it get you? "Thanks a lot" and out with the garbage.

For some of us love is the basis of many years of somebody holding us too close.

For those who disdain love one can generally understand why nobody does.

One's use of pronouns is more obtuse than ever, leading the regular reader to the conclusion that one is attempting to appear erudite, yet again, while amateurishly allowing a preposition to dangle.

Somewhere, a golden faggeleh droid just smiled a little smile.

how sweet, thank you.

ya know, it wasn't premeditated...not what I said about marriage, or Scott kissing me...and that was what I think was so wonderful...it was just so natural...like, normal!

my favorite reaction in those wonderful days following the Tony's was on 8th Ave in Chelsea (where else?). I could sense that a guy walking towards me 'recognized' me. He didn't stop me, he just looked at me with the most soul enriching smile and said, as he walked past me, "Have a great life, honey"

His reading of that line (if I may use a theatrical term) and the look on his face was so powerfully pure, I just stopped dead in my tracks and cried.

I hope you all have had or will have a moment like that, that kind of "Jimmy Stewart" moment where God lets you see that you CAN have an effect on others. I assure you, you will feel humbled and grateful for the opportunity.

ok, back to the bitching...

Hey! What about us in long-term same-sex relationships which have curdled into a festering morass of bitterness, hostility, sexual frustration and seething silent resentments?
Don't WE get out fair shake around here?

Winifred, my 94 year old grandma applauded as she watched in her favorite chair which lives 3 inches from her 52" BIG SCREEN TV. I then realized my grandma thought I had won something. She gets a little confused. I had to tap her on the shoulder to remind her that I was in the living room watching the tv with her. She was asleep by the commercial break.

He did arrange and orchestrate most of the music for When Harry Met Sally. He also produced the wonderful album with Harry Connick, Jr. My personal favorite are his arrangements and orchestrations for Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

They won't dangel if you own a nice pair of 2(x)ist boxer-briefs....

Honey, have you seen me shopping in Victoria's Secret? I have prepositions in spades.
