This month is my fifth year anniversary of living in Shady Pines, which I lovingly call my senior living complex. I feel like I’m one of the Golden Girls (I’m Blanche, of course, and my manager Carl is Sophia.) It’s a wonderful complex with really nice neighbors and I live with my very fat black…
As I learned during San Diego’s recent Pride weekend, the Art of Pride continues on throughout the year with a new exhibition of art every month and a reception at San Diego’s Pride offices on the second Saturday of the month, coinciding with North Park’s Ray at Night festivities.
