Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

We thought this advertising at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was interesting, especially as our iPhones were unable to make and take calls due to weak signal.

Ironic, don’t you think, AT&T?

A little tour of my old neighborhoods in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. A little Haight Ashbury, a little Castro, a little Cole Valley. Back to DC soon :).

It felt really smart all of a sudden….

As I have always said, if you want to learn about a society, go to where it works out. With that in mind, I decided to eschew the normal tours of monuments and attractions in my off time and workout at a selection of gyms. With my IHRSA card in hand I worked out at three different chains: Equinox, NYSC, and Crunch. I didn’t even try to get into David Barton. Maybe next time.

They were all very nice - I’d probably give chops to NYSC, because it had the best combination of easy to maneuver and use and attractive crowd-ness. Pictures below, enjoy. I threw in a picture of Banana Republic because you have to also shop amongst the natives.

Back from lovely Cape Cod. The only thing I missed was being able to buy an iPhone on day one. As Casey would say, “Pace, don’t Race.”

Welcome (back) from Las Vegas. One day is really enough.

Our little Dixie has hit it big. This show must be seen by anyone who is anywhere near New York.

Congratulations!

It was a beautiful day on the East Coast….

Redfin, one of the most interesting real estate sites around, has now expanded to Boston. Washington, DC is coming (soon).

Redfin gets a new market, new look

A nice treat to enjoy the beauty of the bay area. Nice memories.

I took the plunge a little while ago and signed up for the Human Rights Campaign Visa Card, which I know is surprising for someone like me who is so practically minded and is not the affinity-card kind of person. And I am, and I am not.

However, owning this piece of plastic has had an interesting affect. It reminds people who I do business with that I support equality, of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender type. I (we) do not have to be invisible in even the smallest transactions.

When I was in Washington, DC, recently, I used the card to buy my standard Starbucks drink, in the Penn Quarter part of the city (downtown, diverse). Most of the time, the folks who I hand this to don’t notice the logo, but this time they did, and it was great. She took the card, looked at it, looked at me, and gave me a look that said, “You are all right.” And this is from a person who I would never have “suspected.” And that’s the point, she wouldn’t have “suspected” me either. It was the coolest 5 second reach across the table moment.

Yesterday in Seattle, the same thing. I handed the card to purchase my standard Starbucks drink, and the woman at the register said, “HRC, All right!” I asked if she was part of the community and she said, “No, but I have done a lot of work with the PIRG’s and we’ve collaborated a lot with Human Rights Campaign.”

Maybe this card also supports the Human Rights Campaign, and that’s fine. The most important thing it does is start the conversation. And we need to have the conversation. We have a long way to go yet. I never thought a piece of plastic would help with that.
