Today we elected our first black president. I found myself in tears as they called the election in Obama’s favor on the news. For the first time I feel actual hope for the people and fabric of this country.
At this moment, however, I also feel a certain sadness as it appears Prop 8 is going to win, preventing gay marriage and annulling the more than 20,000 same-sex marriages that have been celebrated since June. Bigotry is not yet dead.
Tina Turner is how old?
OK, Madonna. If you haven’t exercised yourself into oblivion by the time you’re 67, you’ll still never hold a candle to this woman.
Farewell…
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.

What is it about sleeping dogs…
Sometimes I find myself watching my dog sleep. She’s old now and she sleeps a lot, so I get plenty of opportunity. There’s something peaceful… almost beautiful… in the way they look when they’re asleep. They totally relax, getting flat to the floor, legs outstretched.
My dog snores now. It’s probably her age, but still, it’s funny to hear and, given how hard of hearing she has become, knowing that she’s oblivious to it.
