I attended Gay Pride in Seattle 2008 as a presenter in the non-profit section of the expo.

I told people that it was the […]

I came back to Seattle on July 19 and I am still ill with stomach problems from India. In early August I went to the hospital on the advice of some clinic worker and had cultures done. They forwarded the test results to a clinic, and there I got a primary care doctor and through […]
