Late Fall Campfire at Hawkscry

Over the past week we have been staying at Hawkscry while refinishing floors in town. The weather was rather warm, the moon was nearly full, and a lovely time was had around the campfire Thursday evening with friends.

A day in Gay America

For many, the perception of gayness is highly influenced by the media hype focusing on the most extreme elements of the LGBT world. In particular there is a strong tendancy to point ou how different LGBT people are, thus making it easier to dislike or distrust them. Hopefully these photographs will help dispel that perception. Gay people are really no different from non gay people except that they are attracted to the same gender. This attraction is not a choice, but a part of their central being. Enjoy the images.

Detachment (Films Worth Watching)

Director Tony Kaye’s long-awaited film stars Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Kaye has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. Detachment features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami Gayle and Betty Kaye..
