So we lost the CA Supreme Court fight. Boo hoo. We’ll win the war.
The next step in our battle will be to talk to EVERYONE we know about marriage equality. This video is my first stab at developing a set of answers to our opponents’ objections. I hope it can help prepare people and give them confidence for those one-to-one conversations that will win us equality.

What a great launch! Every STS launch is spectacular, but this one is historic. It’s the last mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the last time there will be two shuttles ready at once.
Here’s a look at what’s for breakfast:

By Wednesday I should know about this new job thing. If I get it or take it, for that matter–I’m not even sure if he’ll make me an offer I can afford to take in terms of pay–it’ll be a great new chapter in my life. I hope. It will just be nice to have a change from my daily work setting for the past 13 years. There are already two people I know who work there, so that helps as well. So hopefully there are some new opportunities and some needed change on the way.
I do feel sad leaving the people I work with now, it’s not that my current job is terrible or I don’t like it or anything, it has more to do with the changed I’ve seen Meijer go through in the past few years. Their most recent policy treats everyone like kindergartners and just insults both my nature and my common sense. I feel most disappointing about leaving because of my boss, because it’s not specifically about him, it about our store director and broader policy decisions that have been made above his head. He has no control over those things, so I don’t fault him for it. I’m just feeling like it’s time to leave.
Drop the deuce and leave, as Brad says.
I say, turn a new page & tear the old one out.
Dear Google,
You’re in trouble.
I wonder though about the overall value of this, I mean I want to know plenty of answers but I also use google to find website about things. “And much work remains in expanding Wolfram Alpha’s data sources, which span the sciences but include only the most perfunctory details of popular culture. If you try to calculate something that isn’t in the site’s database, you’re out of luck.”
