Watch 20/20 tonight!

{Edited after the interview}

Damn! I am really pissed about how the interview turned out! Two hours of talking to Jenni, and she was reduced to a couple of answers to interview questions. And, no mention of her book! Come on, help a girl out!

But, we get 5 promos that the presidents little drunken girl Jenna has written a book...

WTF?

{end rant}

Tonight is the interview of our friend and music therapist Jenni! Here is her email note to us:

Hello All,

This is an almost famous, less than fifteen minutes of fame announcement.....

On Friday, September 21, I will be on 20/20. I was interviewed back in August for a show they are doing on "Difficult Decisions". They found me because of my book, and interviewed me as a part of a segment on the difficult decision to participate in homosexual reparative therapy.

After my interview, Steve agreed to be interviewed as well. They came to Denver for his interview and interviewed the two of us together for a short time. The producer gave us a great compliment after the interview.

She said, "You have the same good energy for the topic even when you don't agree". I will be seeing it for the first time on Friday also, so I have no idea what will be pulled together for the final product.

The best part for me was being flown to New York City for the interview. I wore a t-shirt that said "Big Star" while on the plane, but nobody asked. I fell in love with NYC--especially the door men. I want a door man for Christmas.

I am just so thankful for the opportunity to slowly but surely keep getting the word out on the turmoil that the secrecy of living in a gay/straight marriage causes. If you feel compelled, please watch, and if you think anyone would be interested, pass it on!

All Best,

Jenni Lee (soon to be Barker--using the name now as a counselor)

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
