There is a national protest against Prop 8 on Saturday, November 15, being held in almost one hundred cities across the nation. This is, at heart, a civil rights issue and it is unconscionable that we are still treating some people as second-class citizens given that this is “the land of the free” in the […]

Talk about burying the lead
I want to blog, except I don’t really have anything to say. So, mundane details it is!!\ Max received his first quarter report card. He got all A’s and E’s (exceeds expectations) except in music where he got a ‘meet expectations.’ He has school until almost 4, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for […]
This says it best
Isn’t this a beautiful pile of crap?
The LDS Church’s response to Prop 8 passing: Read the statement.\ bq. We hope that now and in the future all parties involved in this issue will be well informed and act in a spirit of mutual respect and civility toward those with a different position. No one on any side of the question should […]
No joy
I am still furious that the LDS Church supported California’s Prop 8.\ I am heartbroken that it passed.\ I am incredulous that the pro-8 people misled and lied to voters.\ I am disappointed that it worked.
This and that

They wanted to be the main characters from the very funny, but very internet-y Laugh Out Loud Cats. Did anyone in the neighborhood have […]
Mark It Zero, Dude
I haven’t dressed up for Halloween for years, at least since Max was born. This year, for some reason, I decided that I should be Walter Sobchack from The Big Lebowski this year. Why? I’m not sure.\ I grew the beard just for Halloween… that’s how seriously I took it. And again, I’m not sure […]
Spare Eight Minutes
Lawrence Lessig provides a great argument against Proposition 8. It’s reasoned, has a sound legal backing (because, he’s Lawrence Lessig), and is profound in its simplicity. It perfectly echoes my own feelings on it, and does a great job of dissolving the rationale for the proposition without insulting those who support it. Great great stuff. […]
