heather + Lt Dan Choi at Meet in the Middle in Fresno

It was a thrill to meet Lt Dan who is a powerful speaker and person. He actually saluted me when we said goodbye, then apologized and explained that it was out of habit.

If you somehow don’t already know, he is a West Point grad who’s completed 2 tours of duty in Iraq. He’s about to be discharged under Don’t Asked Don’t Tell even though he’s an Arabic linguist. He’s one of the few people in the military who could actually ask or tell people in Iraq anything.

It was literally 100 degrees. That explains the hair.

Pink Ladies at Hunky Jesus in SF

San Francisco poem

San Francisco
how did I end up here
they all ask
45 answers
depending on the questioner:
the Internet
the gay Jerusalem
the California Bar
the BART
Because I had
24 addresses
in 9 years
Because my college friend had
a fraternity brother
with a sublet
a bicycle
and a lemon tree
Because every outcast
ends up here
in the city of Rejection
Because it was time
to stop
and learn how to live
Because it was on
another coast
in another country
Because I wouldn’ have
to explain feminism
to anyone
Because I never had
to put on a winter coat
Because avocados were only 69ยข
Because the view
over the bridge
made me gasp
Because this is
where you go
to begin your life again.
