Loving Day

Apparently, yesterday was Loving Day in Washington, DC, in celebration of the Surpeme Court's decision that "God says you can't get married" is not a good reason to illegalize certain kinds of marriages. Like mine. Or any other interracial couple.

This quote from Caroline County Circuit Court Judge Leon Bazile is priceless:

"Almighty God created the races, white, black, yellow, Malay, and red and placed them on separate continents, and but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend the races to mix."

Let's hope that today's Supreme Court can see reason, too, and extend the right to marriage to gays and lesbians, too.

I am officially insane

I just registered for the IronGirl Triathlon.

Once the panic dissipates, I will gently remind myself that yes, I can do this, I'll need to work hard for it, but I Can Do This.

1K swim: Well, I'm out of practice, but I could do this. When I was swimming 3 times a week.
30K bike: That shouldn't be too bad. That's the kind of outing we might do as a family on the weekend. Over the course of a whole day.
5K run: No problem, I do that for a typical morning workout. Of course, I'd be doing this after a 1K swim and 30K bike ride...

I've been keeping an exercise log, filtered to interested people. I guess now would be a good time to ask if you'd like to be added to the filter.

Eep!
