Iwalked to the Vatican Museum, the night I landed in Rome. I don’t know why it was my first stop. Given who I am — gay, trans, ex-Catholic, never not mad at the Pope, etc. — I felt a little like Captain Ahab making a visit to the Museum of Whales. Maybe that was the point. For m...

Ahh… sleep. How nice. You turn off the lights. You close your weary eyes. You sigh. You relax. Your breathing slows down. Your mind begins to wander off, fading into the nightly oblivion. Then… You stumble, trip, fall. Your body jolts. Your leg kicks. Your heart pounds. Huh? What...

I have been a fan of Quiksilver clothing for a long time now. The famous logo of a cresting wave and snow-capped mountain appealed to me, although I am not a surfer.
