While previous leaders have been indicted in office this is the first for the ICC. What is most disturbing ... http://theshanelife.com/2008/07/22/a-triumph-of-international-justice/ This trip, while worthwhile and enriching, was extremely exhausting. Imagine 16-hour days running up and down hills and then multiply that by 9, add in heat and hard beds and you've got an idea of my "vacation." I'm now jet-lagged so I woke up at 5:00 AM and uploaded pics ... http://theshanelife.com/2008/07/22/im-back/ I leave tomorrow for Tuscany for two weeks. My boyfriend will be joining me in Rome mid-month for a romantic weekend - keep well in my absence. http://theshanelife.com/2008/07/09/shane-under-the-tuscan-sun/ The Golden Gate Bridge District has received an estimate on the cost of their latest attempt to foist a costly and unnecessary "suicide barrier" on residents of San Francisco and Marin counties - and guess what?

Have a great holiday!! http://theshanelife.com/2008/07/03/happy-4th-of-july/ Sunday the Good Doc and I went to see "Wanted" and then had dinner with friends in Burlingame. Burlingame is the place old homos go to die so we were checking it out as we advance in age. Anyway - I digress. We were eating and enjoying our dinner when I ... http://theshanelife.com/2008/07/02/crying-lady/ Being a western boy I've grown up with forest fires all my life. In Colorado, where I'm from, a fire almost burned down our ranch the year I was born and totally decimated the forested mountain in whose shadow our home lay. I haven't written much about the spate of ... http://theshanelife.com/2008/06/29/fire-2/ I'm finally finished with my paper on the Etruscans. I say finally not because it was boring or anything but it's a particularly dry subject involving research through medical journals on genetic markers - not my cup of tea.
