Blogger Highlights

Reading update: I finished Umberto Eco's The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana and am plowing through Jose Saramago's Seeing, the sequel to Blindness. I decided that I'll focus on the story of Da Vinci Code but not it's writing so I'm moving along.

Some recent additions to my blogroll:

Kelly's rainbow flag at Rambling Along In Life is apropos of kicking off the Gay Pride Month. Guys, have you responsed to his challenge and post the picture yet?

Dan - Turning 40 posts about his organizing a team for the upcoming San Francisco AIDS Walk. He needs more local bloggers and friends to join the team for a cause to conquer the disease. With the society and gay community being laden with gay marriage, AIDS prevention doesn't get its share of the voice and public noise. So please drop Dan an e-mail and join the team.

Swede and Czech has been one of my new favorites. A 30 something gay 2nd genearation American just trying to find my way in life (his own words), he writes about gay life, entertainment and politics from the capital. Look for his Gang Ten selections and Blogger Spotlight.
