Comfort House staff — hands off
According to some staff members at the Comfort House, a 34-year-old nonprofit in McAllen that offers hospice care, some harassment has come their way after it was announced in early May that a June fundraiser was going to put on a drag-queen show.
RIP, Stormy
Whenever my day is going pleasantly well, I’m always looking over my shoulder to see what’s going to ruin it. Yesterday, I left myself unguarded because the day (Sunday) was going great. No stress. Just a nice, pleasant day that had brought us some rain in the early morning. By early afternoon, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping. It was then that I should have realized something wicked this way comes, to quote the name of the book written so long ago by Ray Bradbury.
Memorial Day nears
I’ve always been a cynic, even more so the older I get. I think I came out of my mother’s womb thinking, this isn’t going to work out well.
Comfort House & Drag Queens
I just found out last week that the place where my mom died in 1995, The Comfort House, a longtime McAllen facility that offers hospice care, courtesy of donations, public and private, is hosting a fundraiser June 4, with the catchy name: “Drag Me To Brunch.”
