USNA Out member Greer Puckett '75 is the recipient of the 2014 Outie Trailblazer Award at the 2014 Out & Equal Workplace Summit held at the Moscone Convention center in San Francisco. Five USNA Out members were present to witness Greer receiving his award and listen to Greer's remarks to the more than 3000 gala attendees.
The Out & Equal Workplace Awards (known as "Outies"' honor individuals and organizations who are leaders in advancing equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees in the workplace. Through these awards, Out & Equal recognizes innovative approaches and proven successes to help create safe and equitable workplaces. For a complete list of 2014 Outie award winners, please see http://www.outandequal.org/events/outie-awards/.
This Trailblazer award recognizes an LGBT person who has made a significant contribution to advancing workplace equality. The awardee's activities will have made a marked improvement in their own workplace and/or have contributed to the equality nationally. Greer was selected amongst finalists from Lockheed Martin, Intuit, USAID, COnAgraFoods.
Thank you Northrup Grumman for your support and confidence in Greer!

Burning Blue, a feature film written, produced and directed by USNA Out member DMW Greer USNA '80 will be opening on movie screens throughout the country and also released on VOD.
For a list of theaters, visit http://www.burningbluefilm.com/#!theaters/cy8d
Before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" became law, before Brokeback Mountain was a Short Story, Burning Blue was a Stage Play being performed in cities around the world. Twenty years later Burning Blue is finally an independent film.
Written in 1992 by DMW Greer USNA '80, a former Naval Aviator, the stage play of Burning Blue premiered to great critical acclaim on the London Fringe at the King's Head Theater in early 1995 before transferring to The Theatre Royal Haymarket on the West End where the production received two Olivier Awards. Since then, it has been seen by more than 100,000 people in multiple productions around the world from Tel Aviv to Paris. Drawn from the Author's life, this funny, deeply compelling and tragic love story set against the backdrop of the US Navy was shot entirely in New York City. The roll of John in the film is played by Rob Mayes, USNA '08.
Our New York area members were able to see a preview screening at the DGA theater in New York and our SF Bay Area members had the opportunity to see the world premier at Frameline in San Francisco last June.

Since 2008, when USNA Out was approached by a third class midshipman not yet a youngster desiring to join us, our online Gouge for LGBT Midshipmen has been a resource available to LBGT and questioning Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. Much of the early emphasis on the Gouge was on how to safely navigate the hazards of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy which was not well understood by any of the mids. With each lesson learned, we would update the Gouge with additional guidance to keep the LGBT Midshipmen on track for a successful time at USNA and beyond. As USNA Out took on a significant role as mentors, advisors and counselors, the Gouge included more and more issues dealing with LGBT life issues, including coming out at USNA.
When "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed in 2011, 60% of the Gouge was extracted as no longer necessary. But the Gouge continued to be an important resource for the LGBT-Q midshipmen and was amended as we learned more about the difficulties of being LGBT in the fishbowl of the Naval Academy, fleet wardrooms and beyond.
Based on consistent feedback from the Mids, junior officers and alumni who have completed their service obligations, the Gouge has undergone the first major reconstruction since the end of the DADT era. The advice pages which were "themed" as all pages here at USNAOut.org have been moved to new more subtly themed web pages. The guidance is also being expanded to provide guidance beyond graduation. With the increased content volume, guidance has been broken into relevant portions to be easier to find.
Feedback is always welcome at USNA OUt. Our online guidance is very dependent on knowing the issue facing midshipmen, junior officers and alumni.
USNA Out members, please click the invitation below to visit the details page of the sixth annual midshipmen's dinner. The website will ask for your log in credentials if you are not already logged into our website.
For USNA Alumni, faculty & staff and parents who are not already members of USNA Out, please register with us here at USNA Out to access the members only portions of our website.
USNA Out brings 2013 to a close with another year of very strong member support of the Naval Academy. Individual and joint contributions exceeded $23,000 for the year, our second strongest ever from our members only exceeded in the celebratory year that the cruel policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ended.
In 2011, USNA Out provided the organization's first unrestricted gift to the US Naval Academy Foundation. In 2012, pooled gifts by the membership provided a $4,000 gift via the foundation to provide seed funding to the Navy Spectrum.
Todd Park '85
It is with great sadness that we share the word that USNA Out member Todd Park '85 passed away tonight in Seattle. Todd was diagnosed with leukemia in February and bravely fought to the end. Todd documented many of his battles in his blog "OMT! [Oh...My...Todd!] The Leukemia Chronicles." Although Todd beat the leukemia and was cancer free after bone marrow transplants, complications from the treatment destroyed his lungs. He posted his last blog entry on Sunday night, the "epilog," and refused to let go until his children could arrive from Salt Lake City.
Todd came to the Naval Academy from Salt Lake City. He was a member of the 20th company. After graduation he entered flight training and became a rotary wing pilot. He left the Navy after fourteen years of service and in November 2012 moved back home to Salt Lake City where he was always eager to meet other USNA Out alumni who were passing through. Todd shared with us that he didn't understand his sexuality when he took the oath of office as a Midshipman, and it wasn't until after he departed the navy that he came to terms with his sexuality. Todd joined USNA Out in November 2004.
Todd Park '85
Todd wrote in his epilog:
"I spoke with a dear friend today who asked me to elicit a promise. I'd say to that person and to you all the same words of Zach Sobiek: 'Don't wait to find out you're dying to start living.' You can honor my memory that way."
Todd was a good father, and inspirational writer and a gentle soul. Thank you, Todd, for living life to the fullest and reminding us to do the same. Fair winds and following seas our friend!
Todd has been entered into the USNA Out Memoriam.
A great tailgate
with great friends
Between the high cost of visiting Philly over the Army-Navy weekend and the fact that many of our members want to participate with class and other functions before and during the game, USNA Out will not be co-sponsoring the traditional pre-game tailgate with Knights Out as we have in the past. The Knights are continuing the tradition and USNA Outers are welcome to stop by and say hello to our friends from the dark side.
The traditional Sunday Brunch will continue. Contact Joe Soto for details.

The USNA Out film "OUT of ANNAPOLIS" is now on the Naval Academy's Video-on-Demand (VoD) system for private viewing by Midshipmen, Faculty & Staff. Those with access to the Naval Academy's VoD system on the Yard may view the film via THIS LINK TO THE FILM.
OUT of ANNAPOLIS first screened at the Naval Academy in a yard-wide presentation in the Mahan Hall Auditorium 25 April 2011, five months before the era of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" came to an end. The film has since been used in classes and been presented in several follow up yard-wide screenings for midshipmen, faculty and staff.
For those who ask "When will OUT of ANNAPOLIS be available for the public to watch via VoD, netflix, etc," ... the answer is "as soon as we complete research on how that is done." This remains a high priority by the production crew.
SF Bay Area USNA Out members and their friends met up at the Victoria Theater in the San Francisco Mission District for the World Premier of Burning Blue as part of Frameline 37, the San Francisco International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. Burning Blue is a film adaptation of the play of the same name written by USNA Alumnus, playwright and film director David Greer '80.
Thanks to a good number of our members also being Frameline members, we were able to sit as a group in the enter orchestra, with Marc & Mike looking down upon us from the balcony. For those of us who had served on ships as midshipmen and officers, we were particularly impressed with some of the spectacular carrier and aviation footage shot included in this period piece of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" era.

audience in the post film Q&A with producers and
an actor in a leading role, Rob Mayes USNA '08
After the screening, David took the stage of the Victoria for a lengthy and interesting Question & Answer period with the festival audience.
It was a long, long day for many, beginning with the early morning Pride Run in Golden Gate Park. As we left the theater, we found ourselves amidst the world famous Dyke March and the resulting streets which were gridlocked parking lots. This is the third year in the past four that USNA Out members have had a film screening at Frameline.
Before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" became law, before Brokeback Mountain was a Short Story, Burning Blue was a Stage Play being performed in cities around the world. Twenty years later Burning Blue is finally an independent film.
Written in 1992 by DMW Greer USNA '80, a former Naval Aviator, the stage play of Burning Blue premiered to great critical acclaim on the London Fringe at the King's Head Theater in early 1995 before transferring to The Theatre Royal Haymarket on the West End where the production received two Olivier Awards.

Last July, USNA Out members in the North East attended a sneak preview screening of the film at the SVA Silas Theatre in New York.

bringing up the rear
USNA Out members Brian Bender '93, Joe Soto '83, and Jeff Morrison '04 and their friends and family completed the 5K Out-Fit Challenge on Saturday, June 29, 2013. The mud-run was held in conjunction with the New York City LGBT Pride in Tuxedo National Park approximately one hour outside New York City.
This Out-Fit Challenge is allegedly the first ever national LGBT mud-run. USNA Out members were at the starting line for the inaugural event. The six of us worked as a team helping one another over, under and through thirteen muddy obstacles completing the race hand-in-hand across the finish line. "No Man Left Behind," a concept ingrained in us at USNA, still holds true.
The Out-Fit Challenge supports charities that are making a significant difference in the lives of LGBT individuals across the US. The goal is to support one national charity and one local charity in every city at which they hold an event. We USNA Out members are proud to have completed this challenging event while at the same time support charities important and relevant to our community.
It was USNA Out that brought us together first as alumni, and then as friends. Although we hail from three distinctly different decades of alumni, we have that strong common bond of Annapolis that means so much, particularly as LGBT alumni.
BZ team!

Editors' Note
USNA Out gatherings are great means for us to come together, and in turn, do our part to support our mission and the mission of the Naval Academy. If you are interested in organizing a local USNA Out get-together in your area, please let us know!
What does USNA Out have to do with the film festivals? Not much, other than our own film OUT of ANNAPOLIS had its West Coast Premeir at Frameline 34 and did the full LGBT film festival circuit, and we know firsthand how films can change lives and minds.
This year's festival at Frameline got off to a great start and that strength continued through the festival A few films that we can strongly recommend for our USNA LGBT audiences because of how they can relate so some of our members..
Free Fall (Freier Fall) -Narrative feature - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2617828 - Two men attend the Police Academy together, and later end up in the same precinct. As their forbidden love progresses, their lives become more and more intertwined and difficult, especially as one is the father of a newborn and has to explain his inattention to his wife, who suspects something is not quite right in their relationship.
Substitute Police Academy for Naval Academy and US Navy or Marine Corps for Baden-Württemberg police, and this is the story of many of our members. This show demonstrates how continuing to live against your sexual desires results in hurting a lot of people, particularly those whom you love the most in life.
(In German with English subtitles, gratuitous tobacco abuse)
The Out List (HBO) -Documentary - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2617828 - High profile members of today's LGBTQ community reveal their struggles and triumphs of being "Out" in America. A well done documentary that has much to which many of our USNA Out member will be able to relate.
This film was televised on HBO beginning on Thursday, June 27th.

It's important to understand where IT trends are headed, so that companies can adequately prepare themselves for the road ahead, as well as seek out ways in which they can be an early adopter of some competitive-balance-shifting phenomenon. It's getting more and more critical as omni-channel commerce occupies a larger role in supply chains, especially as one survey recently found that just 5 percent of retail companies have successfully implemented an omni-channel commerce strategy. To take a look at what's coming up, we turn to Gartner, which recently unveiled its list for the top 10 "strategic technology" trends for 2015.Read More

The holiday shopping season is quickly approaching - in some cases, retailers have already begun offering special merchandise and discounts just for this time of year. It is during the next two months or so that many merchants make the bulk of their profits for the year, and thus focus a great deal of effort on making the next few weeks count.Read More
The holidays, as everyone knows, are the retail industry's version of the World Series. At no other time in the year are companies more competitive and consumers more invested than during those crucial few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's where money and reputations are made (or lost), a time when an organization gets to see firsthand if its most impressive initiatives are able to stand up to the increased traffic and attention.Read More

Compliance continues to be a source of blind spots for even the most forward-thinking organizations, especially in the healthcare industry. From compliance officers to the C-suite and regular employees, people continue to feel the pressure of complying with industry regulations and federal governance for safe-guarding critical data. It can be exceedingly difficult to feel like you've actually gotten to a point where you know compliance - as well as security - can be totally assured. Maybe you're not even there yet. Maybe it feels like your organization will never get to that point. And because compliance issues affect all data-users - which means most employees - in the entire company, getting so many people on board can seem like an eternal uphill battle. This is can be especially hard in the healthcare industry, where the focus tends to stay on patient care and technological development, not information protection. That doesn't have to change - just the methods of keeping data safe do.Read More
The rise of the customer-centricity is certainly a trend that every e-commerce company has had to deal with, probably in multiple ways. As a development, though, it's not all that surprising - with more resources available all the time to browse, shop, compare and make decisions, it's no surprise that customers are more empowered than ever before.Read More

The challenge with omni-channel commerce is giving customers a platform that provides an optimal level of service, no matter where they are, what device they're using or how they're interacting with the company. In practice, this means making brick-and-mortar stores more like digital shops, giving them the flexibility, research capacity and purchasing options that have been the hallmark of the online experience. It also increasingly means giving digital stores more amenities of their physical-world equivalents, with expert customer service and quick turnarounds offering consumers the advantages of going to a store without leaving their couch.Read More

With the holiday shopping season almost upon us, it's time for the yearly speculation on what retailers are preparing to do to woo customers. Over the last few years, we've seen a shift from a focus on discounts and deals to approaches that concentrate on availability. Much was made of last year's decision by many retailers to stretch Black Friday hours well into Thanksgiving Day, and whether you're praising the companies for the decision to give customers more choice or lamenting the intrusion of the shopping world on a family day, it's safe to say that hours aren't likely to contract anytime soon.Read More
Supply chains are costly to operate - there's no way around that. The sheer number of stakeholders, connections, processes and objectives necessitates a resource-intensive enterprise. The difference, of course, is how effective businesses are at directing their resources, personnel and time at their supply chain efforts, and whether they're bottom line can be kept stable, and even growing, in the face of evolving challenges. It's a constant balancing act, and many enterprises live in something like perpetual anxiety, with the knowledge that an unplanned data leak, security compromise, objective failure or external force - like the weather - could derail their best-laid plans and batter the bottom line.Read More
Cybersecurity continues to be a major issue all along the supply chain - and the reality is, the problems it can cause are only going to get murkier in terms of responsibility. As newer, more powerful strains of malware quickly worm through a point of access and hit components all along a network, it's difficult to determine where culpability lies. It's hard to figure out how to fix issues, and harder still to develop an end-to-end solution that reduces vulnerabilities and prevents problems. Of course, it's not helpful when companies point fingers. But as businesses grow more exasperated and the number of compromised enterprises - and customers - continues to mount, it's important to prioritize solutions.Read More
We often think about the supply chain as a system, with its many parts (hopefully) comprising a fully functional whole. These system parts are usually workers, tools and processes that enable supply chains to get rolling. Any interruption or problem in one of these system components can end up affecting the performance of the others. What we may think about less often is the fact there is another system - the earth's ecosystem - that impacts supply chains as well. Most industries deal with changes in the weather or in the environment to a certain extent, but because supply chains are so large, any strange behavior or prolonged change from the normal can be magnified in its impact.Read More

Googly Eye Phone Case
A shockingly haute couture phone case made with a kitschy craft staple.
I love this case. And it's so easy to make. You just need some uber adhesive, googly eyes, a tired phone case and household items to bring this DIY together. If you're not feeling the googly eyes, you can substitute rhinestones or beads and still DIY a totally stylish phone case.

Step 1
Begin with a clean phone case. I read somewhere recently that phones are one of the most bacteria-ridden items we interact with on a daily basis, and I believe it. I keep my phone on hand on the train, work breaks, shopping, crafting, you name it. So douse that case in some rubbing alcohol to avoid gluing stuff to its outer layer of bacteri-dirt. Also, the E6000 packaging recommends use on a clean surface.
Step 2
First off, the number one thing that drives me nuts about working with googly eyes is how staticky they get. They cling to the plastic they come in, to each other, to your work surface, and to your hands. A little spritz of Static Guard on your work table and even in the bag they come in goes a long way to maintaining your craft sanity.
Once you're ready to get started and have your supplies organized, squeeze some E6000 onto the back if your phone case and spread it over the case evenly.
Step 3
The next part is kind of like doing a puzzle. I started by placing one of the biggest googly eyes on my case and worked around it. You'll want to save the smallest eyes in your collection for filling in tiny gaps toward the end, just FYI. What's nice about the E6000 is that it doesn't harden right away, so you can slightly adjust the position of your eyes as needed to make it all fit and fill in as many of the gaps as possible. Also, the tweezer will come in handy when placing tiny googly eyes in small spaces.
Pro tip: don't use a super sharp tweezer. Sharp tweezers will scratch the clear surface of the googly eyes, which will be noticeable up close.
Step 4
A word of warning regarding the E6000. I got totally wacky from working with my face super closely to the adhesive… Like, I literally had to sit next to my dogs with the window open in 50 degree Chicago weather with my face sucking in air through the screen so I didn't pass out. I guess I thought that the lack of strong smell from the E6000 meant I was fine, but I guess not. Despite my window being half open and my kitchen fan on full blast, I still got glue-wacky.
Step 5
When your eyes are all set, let the case dry for 24+ hours.
an i phone case but literally an eye phone case ! ha ! love it
the inherent pun in this is absolutely pr-eye-celess!

While they didn't make it to the national competition scheduled for later this year in Kansas City, Camp Verde High School students made a strong showing at a recent SkillsUSA state competition, held at Phoenix Convention Center on March 27 and 28.
SkillsUSA is a career and technical organization that provides students with training across several skilled professions, ranging from auto repair to public speaking. It was originally known as VICA, or the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America.
The students earned spots to compete against other students from across Arizona after they did well at the regional held at Mingus Union High School in Cottonwood.
In Phoenix, student Emily Showers took home third place in prepared speech, Josh Gray took third place in extemporaneous speech while Jacob Crittenden, Cory Placek and Ryan Stockseth earned third place for their skill with welding fabrication.

Rooster Rag is the fifteenth album of original material by American rock band Little Feat released in June 2012. It marks their first original album since 2003's Kickin' It at the Barn and the recording debut with the group of new drummer Gabe Ford who replaced Richie Hayward. Four of the songs were written by former Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in collaboration with keyboard player Bill Payne now the only musician to have played with every line-up of the group. Surprisingly, Paul Barrere the group's main writer/singer has only been credited with writing on one track, but his usual co-author Fred Tackett contributes four songs, all of which have appeared on his solo albums but not all of which he sings lead on.
The song Candy Man Blues by Mississippi John Hurt has been done by the band live for some years and appeared on their 2005 collection Barnstormin' Live.
The order of tracks was confirmed on Little Feat's website on June 10.

One Ringy-Dingy
After the humorous but mortifying story of shopping for my brother's jock strap, I thought I would post a nice memory of my brother's companionship. It comes at the end of this meandering trip down memory lane, so stroll on with me for 800 words or so.
My brother was in high school when I was in college. Actually he was in grammar school AND high school when I was in college, since I liked college and stayed there as long as possible. And by as long as possible, I mean until my parents insisted I wrap it up. So I reluctantly graduated. You needed 120 credits to graduate. I had 148.
During the decade or so that I was in college, I worked summers and semester breaks at The Phone Company. Yeah, the old Ma Bell. As Lily Tomlin said,
"We're the Phone Company. We don't care. We don't have to."
And Ma Bell was one strict Mama. Skirts and pantyhose, no slacks, no snacking, no chatting, and you had to ask to use the bathroom. And no air conditioning. And the pay sucked too. But it was easy, and my sisters worked through college for even suckier pay inspecting springs in a sweltering dirty factory. So I was actually lucky. And I knew it.
It was the end of an era at Ma Bell. Pre-computers, Directory Assistance meant sitting at a station with humongous phone books for every city in Connecticut. You heaved those big hinged books and looked up phone numbers – all day long – wearing a big Ernestine headset that made your head ache in four places. You'd look up number after number, and then you'd look at the clock and three minutes had gone by. 477 to go.
But Long Distance was more interesting. And a dying skill that I was probably one of the last people in the universe to learn. An old World War II era switchboard with the ancient frayed cords and plugs – half of which didn't work – so you had to learn which switches functioned and which had died years ago. Some people though never learned that. We had one old lady who, when she couldn't hear the customer, would lean closer to the little holes – like the customer was in there somewhere. And you sat up on high stools and placed person-to-person calls and collect calls, and calls from pay phones where you had to listen to the dimes and nickels drop and the customer was calling his Mamere in Canada where the phone number was "2″. (The whole phone number. Two.)
I was a hippie back then in the early seventies. And I was kind of the token liberal at the Phone Company. Sometimes I think they found me quaint and humorous, like a harmless little raccoon that you find on your porch. In my novel, I described a dress that my protagonist buys for her newly acquired daughter – a purple tee-shirt dress with a yellow lightning bolt down the front. Well, I had that dress. And one day a guy came in from corporate headquarters to interview employees for the company newsletter, and I was wearing the purple and lightning bolt dress and my wire-rimmed John Lennon glasses, and so guess who he interviewed.
"What would you do if you were the President?" he asked.
"I'd stop the war right now," I said. (Of course.)
"I meant the president of the COMPANY," he explained with a smirk.
"Oh, then I think I would buy better pencils," I said with my own smirk.
The worst part of my job was the hours. The year-round employees got the best shifts, which was only fair, but that left me most days with 2:00 – 10:00 PM. Not exactly conducive to a college girl's love life. Good thing I didn't have one.
But the best thing about the job was my teenage brother.
I was not allowed to get personal phone calls. But he would call at least once a week around 9:45. He'd just dial (yup, dial phones back then) zero for the operator, and whoever answered, he'd ask them to give me a message. And he was so sweet and the message so family-oriented, that the message always got delivered to me, rules or not. Someone would pass me a note, or even the supervisor would come up to me and say,
"Your little brother called. He wanted to remind you that you are supposed to pick up your aunt on the way home from work."
"Oh, thanks, I had completely forgotten," I'd say in my ditziest hippie-voice. No one wanted to see my poor aunt get stranded late at night.
But by "aunt," my brother meant "pizza." He had called Main Street Pizza, right near the phone company, and there was a medium pizza with peppers and meatballs waiting for me at 10:00 PM.
And I'd pick up my "aunt" after work and my brother and I would share a late-night pizza in front of the TV after my parents had gone to bed.
It was really good pizza and really good company.
How To Embarrass A Teenager
In honor of my brother's birthday, here's a old post from 2011 – since how better to honor a sibling's birthday than with the most embarrassing anecdote ever:
I don't have kids of my own, and perhaps it takes a hell of a lot more these days to make a kid blush, but here's the most cringe-worthy event of my teenage life (apologies to my sweet – and very manly – little brother):
I must have been about sixteen. I was on my way downtown for a little shopping. Yes, we had a downtown. No malls yet. And it was certainly a "little" shopping because I never had much more than two dollars in my pocket at any time during those years.
My little brother was about to start Little League.
My mother, always a lady, asked me to do her a big favor.
"Your brother needs something in order to play baseball. Stop in at the men's store and buy …" she lowered her voice to a whisper, although we were alone in the kitchen…"an athletic supporter."
I begged her not to make me do it, even a good size bribe didn't make me feel any better, but my brother needed it for the next day, and I couldn't make her change her mind.
So I reluctantly dragged myself to the unfamiliar store. Since they didn't sell girly things, music, or snacks, I had rarely entered that dreary place.
I looked around. I didn't see anything that looked like what my mother had described. I figured it came in a little box, like a Playtex bra, and I thought maybe even Playtex would be a good name for a jockstrap. But they weren't anywhere.
I had to ask the salesman. I put on my nonchalant face.
"Excuse me," I said to the tall gray-haired man in the ugly sportscoat. "My brother needs…" and I dropped my voice discreetly like my mother had done,… an athletic supporter."
"Sure," he said, and he went to a stack of drawers behind the counter. "What size?"
And I said: "I don't know. He's only ten. How big could he be?"
And just to make sure my humiliation was complete, I even demonstrated with a lovely little gesture!
And the tears began to flow. HIS, not mine. The old guy was crying and choking and quivering pretty much from head to toe…
As he was falling to the floor, he explained: "WAIST SIZE!"
Thanks, Mom.
Dad, The Annoying
Every year at this time, I remember my Dad's birthday with a small tribute.
I've discussed some of the things I loved about him ('The Smartest Person'), and some of the things that he loved ("Of Tom Mix and Clam Chowder").
But my Dad was just a guy after all, and he could be just as annoying as any guy.
Like his housework mentality.
My mother worked for many years as a nurse at the city hospital. This meant working every other weekend, and on those weekends she was scheduled at the hospital, my father was in charge at home.
And when I was a teenager, he developed a special method for weekend housework. The method was this: he got up at dawn and did it all.
As I said, I was a teenager. Teenagers need a lot of sleep. Right? A lot more than grownups. Right? I wasn't lazy; I was tired. Right?
And it wasn't my fault that Dad did all the housework before I ever got out of bed. Right?
Exactly right.
Because Dad's motives were not exactly pure.
He loved – and I mean LOVED – to greet my mother when she arrived home with the following announcement:
"I did all the housework and the kids didn't even help!"
Yeah. All you women are nodding your heads right now.
My Dad was a guy after all.
My mother once told me (in private) after he tattled on our Saturday sloth , "Don't worry about it. Your father likes being a martyr. He's a man."
Every day I miss my father's sweet and generous nature.
Some days
- like today -
I miss his annoying self too.
Commercial Interruption
Will be back tomorrow with my regular silly nonsense….
But in the meantime:
Now through Sunday, October 19:
Amazon is offering the Kindle version of my book for $0.99!
This is a great time to try a brand new author!! (namely, me)
And the reviews are really good! You could add one!
PS – I might add that the paperback isn't a bad deal right now either…. less than $0.03 per page. Why, the paper alone is worth more than that! And there's a picture of me on the back that you get absolutely FREE!
Who Me, Officer?
As I was driving home from Mom's a few days ago, I rounded a curve and saw that some poor schmuck had been pulled over by a cop.
Probably speeding, and although I felt sympathy for the hapless driver – (I've always loved that word -'hapless'- who is that guy, and why has he no hap?) – but I was also secretly relieved that the cop was thereby occupied. Because it could have been me.
Yeah, I was zipping right along.
When my husband does it, it's speeding. And I ALWAYS point this out to him in my gentle wifely way. As in: "For Chrissakes, slow the fuck down!"
(By the way, a couple of people who have reviewed my book on Amazon liked the book but said I had too much bad language. I had to go back and look through the book again. Obviously living with my husband for all these years has had an effect. Because I didn't really notice any bad language.)
As I was saying… when my husband does it, it's called speeding. When I do it, it's called zipping right along.
I think it's perfectly okay to zip right along if it's a road you're very familiar with. You know the road so well. You won't make a mistake. And yeah, I've seen a bear run across that road, but come on, how often does that happen?
Years ago, a co-worker came to work a bit late and extremely irritated, because he got stopped and ticketed for zipping right along. The cop didn't call it zipping right along though. He called it 88 in a 45 zone.
But what really made my friend angry is the unfairness of his ticket. Because his sister was stopped in the very same town just the week before (she's a very zippy driver) and got off with a warning.
"It's just WRONG!" He shouted in my office, and not in his inside voice. "My sister has been stopped a zillion times and she never gets a ticket! And you know why? Because she's pretty. That's why!"
I actually have never been stopped for speeding. But I did worm my way out of a ticket once. And it was a good thing I didn't have to rely on my looks, as I had an unfortunate perm, oversized glasses, and linebacker shoulder pads back then.
I was on my way to work. There was a busy intersection where I had to make a left-hand turn. The cars were always backed up because there was no left-hand arrow on the light, and the traffic was so steady that you had to wait for the light to turn yellow and sneak through if you could. Cars were always backed up trying to find that small break to turn left. Often several cars would try to get through on the yellow.
On this particular day, I was last in a string of five cars trying to get through the yellow light and not be stuck waiting for another cycle.
And sure enough, after I went through, there was a cop waiting there – pointing at me to pull over.
Who, Me? I gestured with a big questioning innocent shrug.
Yeah, You. he responded with a head nod and a smirk.
The cop came over to the car and after the usual stuff I knew from Adam-12 ("License and registration, please"), he said in an almost friendly way, "I could have stopped about 3 cars ahead of you – the light was that red. What's the hurry? Are you late for work?"
"Yeah. I'm running a little late," I said as convincingly and sweetly as I could. "I was hoping to make up some time."
"How late are you?" he asked.
"Four hours," I said.
And he let me go.
Stop The Presses!!!!!
I've done several posts celebrating really good days.
Today is another one!
My local newspaper gave me a half-page interview (with photo that is not so hot, but I am overlooking that) on my new book. They interviewed me
I am an author. And a good one. Me. Really!
Here's the link, if you want to see what local newspaper coverage is like (admittedly, on a slow news day… Page One was "Car Show Draws Hundreds For Fundraiser").
My Mom was thrilled.
So I was having a pretty good day.
And THEN!
Last week I wrote a little note to Marlo Thomas. Several years ago, she included an essay that I wrote in her collection, "The Right Words At The Right Time, Volume II." So I wrote and told her that I had written a novel, and truly felt like I was reinventing myself, which is the topic of her latest collection, "It Ain't Over Till It's Over."
And today, she posted this on her Facebook site (sorry it's a bit blurry – I may be a 'real' author not, but I am not a 'real' techie):
And she has a link to my Author page on Facebook AND my Amazon page for the book! And although it says "7 people like this" – as of 10:29 tonight, I hit 103 likes (which is more than the Page One car show drew).
I am naturally thrilled (and a bit Starstruck – I love Marlo! Since 1966, when I wanted to be just like her on "That Girl," and forty years later, when she liked my little essay, and oh, my, especially now!)
Can I challenge you to go to Marlo Thomas' Facebook page, and like that post, so I get lots more than 103 likes?
I've always wanted to be well-liked.
Driving home from the small town that is bigger than the small town we live in – which is sort of like going to the Big City for lunch – we passed a housefront. A housefront is like a storefront for someone running a business out of a house. There are lots of those where I live. Old Victorian houses or farmhouses that are now businesses.
But anyway, there was a sign in front of this housefront that read:
I jumped out of my seat. That's figuratively, of course, not literally. And here's another by-the-way: some
idiots wise decision-makers at Webster Dictionary have chosen to add to the definition of "literally' a second definition: "figuratively." So now "literally" means not only "literally" but also "not literally." Well, let me just say that this literally makes my head explode.
But anyway (again), my seatbelt held me in, and I managed not to scream "Stop the car! Stop the car!"
But I totally wanted to.
Can you just imagine what's inside that housefront? With cheese and hip hop and spiritual advice, I'm sure that my life would change. And to think that I usually feel that just cheese is enough.
But I'm glad now that we didn't stop. Because I have found lately that real life usually does not match my sweet imagination (thank you, Paul Simon, for one of the truest lines in music).
Especially at The Huffington Post. I love Huffpost. Where else can I get in-depth reporting with the liberal slant that matches my own slanty self and at the same time watch videos of kittens being surprised by mirrors?
But the downside of Huffpost is that the headlines are SO MUCH BETTER than the stories. I have discovered that if I just read the headlines and skip the stories I enjoy myself oh so much more.
Last week, In a SINGLE DAY, The Huffington Post offered me the following entertainment:
and my very favorite of the week:
Now why would I read the stories and jeopardize my sweet imagination?
But tomorrow I may stop for some hip hop spiritual advice. And cheese.
Wanna Go For A Ride?
Last week I wrote about cats and dogs, and I guess it was obvious to most people that I am a bit biased towards cats.
It's true enough. My husband and I have had a bunch of cats over the 25 years we've been together. As a matter of fact, I brought home a kitten for him after we had known each other just a few months. And the bunch of cats we've had have often been all at one time. For one brief period, we had five kitties running around here annoying each other.
But I do like dogs.
My brother-in-law has two golden retrievers. Sophie and Stella are as sweet as dogs can be. (They are also as smelly as dogs can be – but I don't hold that against them.) And my other brother-in-law just lost his best, most loyal friend, and I cried too when Woody died.
And my co-worker just took in a rescue dog – a happier dog you never saw. (or happier parents).
But my favorite dog of all time – and I don't think anyone will ever beat him out – was my own dog, Sarge.
Sarge was part border collie and part… well, I believe the vet called Sarge, "part border collie, part shedder."
I personally think he was mostly shedder. I have never seen a dog leave so much hair behind. I brushed him daily and filled a shopping bag. And filled another the following day. A friend once remarked about how shiny Sarge's coat was – gleaming black and snow white. I said his fur was that spotless because it was always all new. He grew a new coat every week and left the old one on the kitchen floor.
Sarge could catch thirty popcorn in a row. He wished it were 300, but the rest of the family needed some too.
He couldn't tolerate any fighting in the house. And he wouldn't let anyone touch me. As I was a teenager at the time, I did not necessarily appreciate his vigilance. But my Dad did. "Good Boy," Dad said as Sarge growled at the boy who put his hand on my knee.
But that doesn't mean Sarge was mean. Or brave. He was quite a baby, and used to go hide when the doorbell rang. My father would answer the door holding Sarge by the collar, telling the salesman, "I'm not sure I can hold him," which always scared the salesmen away. But Dad meant he couldn't hold Sarge much longer from running upstairs and hiding under the bed.
Sarge couldn't bear to be yelled at. If you yelled at him, he threw up. And then you had the mess to clean up, in addition to whatever you were mad at him for in the first place. So we always had to watch what we said to the dog. "He's sensitive," explained my mother.
He had a good sense of humor though. He liked to bump your elbow while you were drinking something. He did that a thousand times. That joke never got old. (For Sarge.)
But he was a runner. That was his worst fault. Open the door and he was G-O-N-E! Luckily, the one thing he liked more than running free was riding in the car. So when Sarge escaped, you got in the car and drove it down the road a ways. Then you stopped the car and opened the door, and called, "Wanna go for a ride in the car, Honey?" And he'd jump in. We did that dressed in our gowns the day of my sister's wedding.
One day many years later, I was working near home and out on an errand at lunchtime. As I drove through the neighborhood, I saw Sarge. He was strolling down the street. Oh no, I thought, he's loose again. So I pulled to the curb, and popped open the passenger side door, and said – as coaxingly as I could – "Wanna go for a ride in the car, Honey?"
And there on the sidewalk, previously unseen by me, with a very surprised facial expression, was the mailman.
Sarge – you practical joker, you!
Just When You're Ready To Strangle Them
A couple of nights ago, we were having dinner with some old friends. My husband has spent weeks under his classic car trying to get it ready for an upcoming show. So Friend-Hubby volunteered to help.
"That would be friggin' great!" said Hubby enthusiastically. (I thought for a moment he might cry.)
"I can come over any night this week. When do you want me?" asked Hubby-Friend. (which is a synonym for Friend-Hubby – because I'm not sure which is the proper term)
"Let's see," said Hubby "…. tomorrow is Wednesday…"
(Which miraculously was correct…my husband never knows what day it is. And let me digress further. One November, he asked me what day Thanksgiving was, and when I told him it was the 26th, he said, "No, I mean what day of the week" – and so I told him that this year Thanksgiving happened to fall on a Thursday, and he said – seriously – "Oh. Okay.")
Let me start that sentence again:
"Let's see…tomorrow is Wednesday," (I'm repeating this for a reason) " and I have to put the oil pan back on and switch out the tubes" (okay, it wasn't tubes, but I don't know what the hell is was…), "and there's the transistors" (I didn't take notes, all right?) "and the gaskets, and Thursday I'll be ready for the duvet covers. So maybe, Wednesday night."
"Okay," says Hubby-Friend, trying to follow (whereas I had completely given up). So tomorrow night."
And Hubby said. "I don't know. What day is tomorrow?"
When we got home, I heard that distinctive chirp that drives me crazy but that my husband has never heard in his entire life.
"Uh-oh," I said. "I think we need a new battery in the smoke detector in the den."
"Where?" said Hubby.
"The den," I repeated.
"I know you said 'the den' – but I'm not sure what room you mean."
"It's the room off the kitchen. The one with the TV and the bookcases and the leather furniture." I admit this explanation may not have been in my inside voice.
"Oh." said Hubby.
"What do YOU call that room?" I asked.
"The room with the TV" he answered.
You may not believe these conversations happened. But I SWEAR. And the same evening, no less.
But here's what he said the following day when I got home from work.
"Guess what I did today," he said. "I went to the radio station. The door was locked and there was a sign that said 'No Soliciting' – but I banged on the door anyway. And when someone finally opened the door, I explained that I had a story they should cover. I said that they needed to interview my wife. That my wife was an English major in college and she was a really good writer and even won some awards in school. But after college she got a job and the company helped pay for an MBA, and so she gave up writing and worked for her whole life in Finance. But a few years ago, she realized how much she missed writing and so she spent two years writing a novel while still working full-time. And now she's published her book and it's really good. She did it – and she's a good example for anyone who thinks it's too late or that their dreams are impossible. And so you need to tell her story."
Did that make the radio station want to tell that story?
Well, No.
But it did make me want to stay married. At least for a few more days.
Cats and Dogs
When I was a little girl, I believed – for much longer than I should admit – that all dogs were boys and all cats were girls.
I believed this despite the fact that when I was about five I had a dog named Daisy. But I never for one minute believed that Daisy was a girl.
(I didn't believe that Lassie was a girl either, even though Timmy would cry, "Go get help, Girl!" And it turned out I was right.)
I had strong reasons why I thought all dogs were boys: They were rambunctious, loud and smelly.
I rest my case.
Cats, on the other hand, were graceful and delicate. I think I was twelve before I realized that the word Feline was not a synonym for Feminine.
When I finally understood that there were actually girl dogs and boy cats, I was quite embarrassed.
But now that I think about it, I had no reason to be ashamed of my mistake. It's actually perfectly reasonable to associate dogs with boys and cats with girls.
First there's the way they play.
Dogs will chase a ball or a stick – over and over and over and over. They are never bored. There's a mindless joy to their repetition. Sort of like Baseball. And whatever toy they have, you can be certain they will completely destroy it in no time at all. I had a cat however, who always took her toy to bed and cuddled with it. (I admit this may have had something to do with catnip.)
Then there's the loudness – which I have already mentioned. I'm not saying women are less talkative than men. I am saying there is an astounding volume to boys. Especially when they are in a group.
And speaking of groups, men are much more comfortable in packs. Of course, they call them teams. But it's really the same thing. Women need their alone time. So do cats. Cat-related alone time is usually about 19 hours a day.
Let's compare Patience. Dogs are not patient. They will knock you over to get to the door first. Eat like the food bowl may explode in five seconds. And, rather sweetly, will greet you like you have been away for 3 weeks, not three hours.
And they hunt the same way. They charge after their prey, yelping and jumping and completely crazed. When a dog is successful with his hunt, it is mainly due to power, enthusiasm (and sheer luck). I have yet to see a dog sneak up on something. A cat gets her prey due to patience and strategy. I've seen my cat sit by a stack of boxes in the cellar for twelve hours.
Peeing. I learned very early on from my cousins that when a boy feels the need to pee, he just whips it out and pees. In the middle of a dodge ball game, and Johnny has to go…. Well, right over there by the bushes, Johnny. No need to even call a Time-out. Us girls need a bit more privacy. Cats too. They have their personal box and if you walk in on them during their nature call, they are not happy, and will usually walk away and come back another time. And they don't need to pee constantly. I had a dog, Sarge, for seventeen years. Walking him a quarter of a mile meant stopping every seven feet to pee. Five minutes of walking and twenty-five minutes of peeing. Dogs love to pee. Boys think it is pretty special too.
And finally, while we are down in the nether regions, there's grooming. Cats love to be clean. They bathe and bathe. They wash their little faces and their little ears and their little tails and their little paws.
Dogs? Only interested in their genitals.
I rest my case.

In 2014, one paleontologist's dino-mite discovery led to a conversation about where dinosaurs spent their days. Did they all roam Earth or did they swim? We turned to National Geographic's "Mister Big" to introduce you to a dinosaur like you've never seen before.
Imagine: It's the middle of the Cretaceous period, about 100 to 94 million years ago. You're standing in what is today's southeastern Morocco. Dinosaurs, including at least three great predators roam Earth's lands. Six or seven types of crocodiles and 8- to 25-foot fish swim through the rivers. Large reptiles fly through the sky.
How can all of these predators coexist?
In a quest to answer that question, paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim made an even bigger discovery– the first known dinosaur that spent a substantial amount of time in water.
Meet Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.
This is a dinosaur that stretches 50 feet long from nose to tail with a six- to seven-foot smooth sail on its back. Beneath the dorsal fin is a dense, barrel-shaped torso. Its enormous skull is held up by its long neck. A long slender snout resembles that of a crocodile, and its short hind limbs are disproportionate to its dense and powerful forelimbs.
"Spinosaurus is incredibly front heavy," paleontologist Paul Sereno tells National Geographic. Serena, Ibrahim's postdoctoral adviser at the University of Chicago, also discovered several notable North African dinosaurs, including Suchomimus, a relative of Spinosaurus with long, crocodile-like jaws. "It's like a cross between an alligator and a sloth."
The animal was originally discovered and named by Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach between 1910 and 1914. Fossils of Stromer's Spinosaurus were displayed in Munich's Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology. But, in April 1944, a World War II Allied air raid destroyed the museum. Unfortunately, all that was left of the Spinosaurus was Stromer's field notes, in which, according to National Geographic, he had concluded that the animal was "highly specialized." But specialized for what was a question that remained unanswered.
It was previously thought that while most dinosaurs might have had the ability to swim at some capacity, they were predominantly land animals. No one imagined dinosaurs swimming alongside crocodile and large fish—until March 2013.
After a long journey and hard search, Ibrahim was brought to a place in Morocco whose surrounding cliffs proved huge rivers had flowed 100 million years ago. And there they were– the Spinosaurus fossils Ibrahim had been searching for.
According to National Geographic, after piecing together the bones with CT scans and digital reconstruction software, the paleontologists "wrapped the skeleton in digital skin to create a dynamic model of the animal's center of gravity and how it moved. Their analysis lead to a remarkable conclusion: Unlike all other predatory dinosaurs, which walked on their hind legs, Spinosaurus may have been a functional quadruped, also enlisting its heavily clawed forelimbs to walk."
This finding encouraged Ibrahim and his team to view the Spinosaurus as an animal spending its days in water rather than on land. With that perspective, the rediscovered dinosaur began to make more sense.
National Geographic explains that the placement of the nostrils would have allowed the animal to breathe while its head was submerged. The barrel-shaped torso was similar to that of dolphins and whales. While the disproportionate hind legs wouldn't be ideal for walking, they would have been perfect for paddling. It's long, croc-like jaws and teeth would have been a great tool snacking on a large fish.
While it is still believed that many dinosaurs spent time in nearby rivers and lakes, Ibrahim believes the Spinosaurus would have spent about 80 percent of its time immersed in water. This belief makes the Spinosaurus the first of its kind. That is until the next dino-mite discovery!

Hope this is not a repeat. My Aunt's info has Antone Benish born in Bohemia ca 1861. The family came to the US in 1870 possibly thru Baltimore. Antone's parents were John and Helen BARTOSH BENISH. I had previously thought Helen's maiden name was KNEBEL, but I have solid info that it was BARTOSH. The only info I have about Antone is that he married someone named Mary ?. I have the names of 8 children for them, Meza, Edward, Milward, George, Milo, Margaret, Pearl and Duane.
Now this gets confusing. The info I have is different from yours so help me out. Your father was Kenneth Benesh Jr., your grandfather was Kenneth Benesh, you G.grandfather was John Benesh born in 1875 in Iowa and who died in 1952? I have his father, your g.g.grandfather, as John Benesh, born in Bohemia in 1829, married to Helen Bartosh Benish.
I have Antone Benish's signature on two different marriage return forms I found on microfilm. He was a witness at the marriages of Helen Benesh to Charles Earsa and also for Mary Benesh who married Arthur Barnes.

Thanks for the impressions, eastoak.
eastoak, do you foresee any issues sanitizing the spigot sufficiently after its been fermenting in a musty closet or chamber?
this is the back of the spigot.
Why is this so much better than a bucket? You can get spigots on those too? I couldnt justify the price. I'm sure they will hold up better and perhaps better designed.
Yo, What's Wrong With The Beer We Got? I Mean the Beer we got drank pretty Good Don't It? I Ain't Never Heard nobody complain about the beer we have..... It Drank Pretty Good. Budweiser...What's the name of some of them other beers ?
