It's a gorgeous weekend weather-wise. We drove down to Morgan Hill Friday evening to visit Tom (
peppabear) and his husband Steve, and stayed over. They served food that was totally compatible with our diets, and just made us feel so comfortable. It's so restful to just sit and look at mountains and flowering trees in the morning sunshine. Tom also did a photo shoot of us (see new icon). Thanks so much, guys!
On the way home we stopped at Costco and picked up a new pink jasmine plant for our atrium to replace the one that died this winter. I'm sitting in my study, and even with the windows closed I can smell it. I love jasmine--it's the lilac of the West.
Last night we went to
bowlerbehr's for dinner and board games. I was dead tired, and napped right up to when we left, but had a good time nevertheless. Went to bed early and slept well last night.
Today, off to Homo Depot for more flowers, then SFMOMA to hook up withmathan and crew, then dinner tonight with Gregg. The coming week is very socially event-filled (glovercom's wedding tomorrow!!). My coworkers are throwing me a belated wedding shower on Tuesday--isn't that nice? Speaking of which, Steve (rootbeer1) and I received a wedding card from Steve's ex-friend Hass, from whom he hasn't heard since we started dating almost 10 years ago. It's a good thing™.

Biblical marriage
The Presidential Prayer Team is currently urging us to: "Pray for the
President as he seeks wisdom on how to legally codify the definition of
marriage. Pray that it will be according to Biblical principles. With
any forces insisting on variant definitions of marriage, pray that
God's Word and His standards will be honored by our government."
So here, in support of the Prayer Team's admirable goals, is a proposed
Constitutional Amendment codifying marriage entirely on biblical
principles:
A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one
man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)
B. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in
addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron
11:21)
C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin.
If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)
D. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (Gen
24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)
E. Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the
constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be
construed to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)
F. If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the
widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does
not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise
punished in a manner to be determined by law.
(Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)
G. In lieu of marriage, if there are no acceptable men in your town, it
is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him, tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. Of course, this rule applies
only if you are female. (Gen 19:31-36)
