I’ve decided to do a few more personal posts around these parts. Because I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who read the blog (thanks guys!) and because, though this is primarily a business tool, it’s also something of a diary for me. And if I commit to doing a monthly round-up post, maybe I’ll actually get around to taking more photos and downloading them. Big promises! In the meantime, at least I have enough material for a February post.
It’s been about a million years since I posted something personal on the blog. With wedding season in full swing, the blog runs itself on happy couples vowing to share the rest of their lives. But in the meantime, yes, I have been doing things and getting on. My husband, George, just returned from a five-week work trip to Europe. Every time he leaves, I think I’ll be bored and lonely and pack my calendar full of things to occupy myself. In the meantime, I judge this so poorly that I end up being mad busy the entire time he’s gone and rushing to catch up when he does return. Maybe next year I’ll find the right balance.
Today is a big day in our nation’s history. I am optimistic and hopeful that the Supreme Court will come down on the right side of history by overturning Prop 8 and DOMA when they make their ruling in a few months. Today they heard testimony on California’s Prop 8. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was in my old home for showing such homophobia and discrimination, but now the Supreme Court has taken up the issue and has the opportunity to make it right for all those who suffer because they love someone of the same sex. I was at the rally this morning in front of the Supreme Court, joining my voice in support of love and marriage and against bigotry and hatred.
