Well.

I have a rather mixed bag of political results cropping up, as it turns out, on my birthday.

On the one hand is President Obama. I don't fool myself that one man's election can fix this country overnight, and yet he carries the breath of possibilities that have seemed out of reach for eight long years.

On the other lies the travesty of anti-gay discrimination being written into the constitutions of California, Arizona ... I know people who will be touched directly by these awful pieces of legislation, and to them I say They will not stand. Like the bans on interracial marriages before them, they will not, must not stand. If the proponents of these measures think the fight is over, they'll be proven sorely wrong.

The sun has touched the horizon, but it still has a long climb ahead.

So true, Peter. It infuriates me that those who insist they're "protecting" children refuse to see the harm they're doing them by refusing to allow them to be placed with people who would be competent, loving parents.

I'm thirty-three, a chara. And thank you.

A what? Between you and Zippy, I'm going to break babelfish one of these days. And you don't look that old.

A chara. "My friend" in Gaelic.

I come by it genetically, I'm afraid. My father certainly doesn't look his age.

At least that's nice, Zippy's usually calling me names in Yiddish. Then again, I'm usually annoying her in English...

Lucky you.
