(Community Matters) Nice having Mayor Julian & Congressman Joaquin Castro in Austin this week. I didn’t get to see Joaquin but joined a Tuesday luncheon for the Mayor. The rising stars of Texas spent time in Austin to offer a nonradicalized perspective on healthcare for Texans, promote public education funding and to suggest universal background checks don’t threaten Texans’ right to carry concealed weapons. Looking forward to spending Saturday evening with the Mayor, Erica and friends in San Antonio.

It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
