Bright Beltane Blessings
Happy May Day! I don't know whether it's the impending nuptuals, and/or arrival of a new niece or nephew, or what, but it seems like 2009 is just flying by! I think part of it is that the seasons are so random and strange lately -- we haven't really had any "springy" days -- they've either been cold and wet and blustery, or 90 degrees and summer ( Read more... ) -
Welcome Spring!
I know it's been forever since I posted! Since my last post, I've become a slave to Facebook, and I've been obsessively fixating on plans for the big Commitment a-go-go this summer. The good news is, I've learned how to balance my computer time so that I'm not checking on everyone's status updates every five minutes, and the really hard planning ( Read more... ) -
Inauguration!
Wow, okay, so I could make a crazy long post about our awesome new President and the chaos of Inauguration, but since we're past all the insanity, I'll give you the highlights:

Ukelele Lady
How can you describe the most beautiful place you've ever been? I simply cannot do it, except to say that Kaua'i was the most relaxed, majestic, ancient, lush place I've ever been.

Can you believe that in three short days I'll be over the Pacific Ocean, soon to land in beautiful Hawaii? I sure can't, and I sure can't wait! I've got five (and-a-half) days to do absolutely nothing except soak in the sunshine and relax. Although, I have booked a couple of activities for J and I so that we can see as much of the little island ( Read more... ) -
Why is the World in Love Again?
The first time I heard They Might Be Giants I was a senior in High School at the Homecoming dance. One of the recently returned students had just come back from his first semester at Indiana University, and he asked the DJ to put in a song he brought back with him. The faint strains of a fiddle floated over the room, joined by a drum and ( Read more... ) -
Stop the H8
So, check it out! January and I went to the Capitol yesterday to protest against the passing of Prop. 8 and other anti-equality legislation. It started out a beautiful and warm sunny morning, but midway through the march there was suddenly a cold deluge of rain and we lost a lot of protesters. I guesstimate there were at least 2,000 or more when ( Read more... )
