After almost a year and a half, Connecticut's Supreme Court makes the right decision. Congratulations to all those who can now marry.
More info here. |

| Thank you California Supreme Court, you cautious, moderately conservative body. |

"In contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation, and more generally, that an individual's sexual orientation -- like a person's race or gender -- does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights." We therefore conclude that in view of the substance and significance of the fundamental right to form a family relationship, the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples." |

time: Friday night, at the end of a long week
location: in the kitchen, on the stove there is a pot containing homemade chicken stock freshly liberated from a canning jar, sauteed chicken pieces from the freezer, home-canned carrots, fresh celery and homegrown herbs. On the counter is a pot of cooked egg noodles and two bowls into which the glory will be combined.
wife: This soup is so great it deserves a live journal post. But I can't do it on my live journal unless I do it like this:

in the bed, wife working, husband napping.
alarm goes off
Sasha cat moseys over
wife pets her head
wife: Sasha, why is your head wet? Have you been drooling in your sleep?
husband: Sometimes I drool in my sleep.
wife: unlike Sasha it's cute when you drool in your sleep.
husband: except that it's kind of gross.
wife: it'd be gross if you drooled so much that your hair ended up wet, like Sasha's head. And when you woke up it was as if you had taken a shower.
husband: yup, that'd be gross. |

in the evening in the kitchen
wife: do you think emergenC would be good with hot water?
husband: No. Do you want tea?
wife: yes, maybe. What do we have?
husband: lady grey.
wife: if I drink lady grey I won't be able to sleep so if you give me that I won't be able to go to bed with you.
husband: there is some old chamomile lemon.
wife: that sounds good.
pause
wife: laughs
husband: what?
wife: I was thinking that maybe I didn't want tea because it would be too much and then I was thinking maybe I would just have hot water. Then I wasn't sure I wanted a hot drink so I thought maybe I wanted hot water with ice. Then I laughed.
husband: that's silly.
pause
wife: oh I know what I have to do tonight.
husband: what?
wife: write in my live journal. |

| Hello |
[Sep. 14th, 2004|09:17 pm] |
I am a late bloomer but I've been enjoying rumorofrain's lj so I thought I'd join the party.
Just for the record I do not normally define myself through my husband but I like the sound of it.
I am going to see how this works now... |
