Had the great honor of meeting Bishop Gene Robinson @BishopGRobinson following the morning worship at the Chautauqua Institution @chq this morning. He has been an inspiration to me in accepting my identity as a gay man and a Christian and knowing that both are compatible.

Forgot to post this earlier. Drove to Toronto from the states a couple weeks back to see @DearEvanHansen #DEHToronto. Couldn’t get tickets back home. What a great performance by a talented company and an inspiring message.

Looking forward to the New Kids On The Block @NKOTB concert in Buffalo Friday night. Letting @joeymcintyre know there will be a fellow Catholic Memorial High School Knight @CatholicMem in the audience!

@socialworksage Where are you? We had an appointment today at your office and you’re not here.

Had the honor of meeting ⁦@RonanFarrow⁩ tonight at UB. Got him to autograph a copy of his book. I guess I summer reading when classes are done this semester. My regret was not asking him for advice on how to get into a career in public service.

@RonanFarrow Just had the honor of meeting you tonight at University at Buffalo. My regret was not asking your advice on how to enter public service at my age. I’m 53 and a graduate student in social work at UB.

@annahitarb Oh no, I didn’t attend the opening. I posted the Buffalo News article to my History and Policy class twitter feed. As part of a assignment we have to post an article from the headlines every week and comment on its relevance to SW.

It was a tradition to attend the marathon and I can attest to the sportsmanship shown by the spectators. The real story, however, is the tenacity of the human spirit in face of adversity to live out a dream. #UBSW500 https://t.co/APDjIh9kZq
