Lounge of Tomorrow

And he isn't known primarily for being a proud homosexual. He is primarily known (outside of San Francisco) for being killed for being a proud homosexual.

Actually he is primarily known as the first openly gay elected official in California.

Which raises an interesting question. If evil can be converted to good through the process of deep-frying, that could have wide-ranging effects.

Such as raw pig is converted in to succulent bacon :)

Again, that is not what he is generally known for outside of the region. I'm not talking about the reality, I'm talking about the general familiarity, myth, and legend.

To the extent that most people in America (and even in California outside San Francisco) know who Harvey Milk is, it is simply that he was a gay politician who was assassinated. If it weren't for that last word, the majority of people who do know who he is, wouldn't have ever heard of the man.

I fully recognize this undersells the complexity and reality of the man, the times, and the events.

I'm very excited! It's entertainment, and a lot of stage management. Most of all, it's a chance to grow, and to have a real impact on the visitor's experience.

I feel like I've come home.

Congratulations

Great news Ron, now go get that passport. I think a warm, sunny vacation will sound wonderful during our Winter rain season. I think the new position sounds right up your alley! It's about time they put your talents to good use!

In other news we have a new addition to the family. Her name is Gizmo, she is adorable and has fuzz coming out her ears!

What happens if you get her wet? ;)
