Thankful

I am thankful for the 16 years of joy I had with Peeper. I am thankful for all the many wonderful people in my life who supported me through it all. And I am thankful for all of my friends and family and Gabe who are still in my life and continue to brighten it every day, even when they're not here.

blue102 (and others), make sure I send a Christmas card to Aunt Pat.

Silicon Dreams

Oh man, why didn't someone tell me about Silicon Dreams before my Halloween Party? Anyone have mp3's?

And so it begins...

Two women married in MA have filed for divorce in RI. This is the first gay divorce I have heard of, and it's the first one the RI courts have seen. Their laws are silent on gay marriage and the issue hasn't been forced yet, so this now *is* the first test of their laws. I'm not holding my breath - that is, while I am hopeful RI will do the right thing, it's not clear to me what the right thing even *is* here, nor do I think it'll happen quickly.

One in four

pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. I never knew that. I stumbled across this story by a woman who seems to have a similar mind set to mine about her own miscarriage. It's a long read, but VERY worthwhile.
