Historic Rulings

   The Supreme Court declared the Defense of Marriage Act invalid thus making gay marriage legal in the 13 states that have approved it.  29 states still have constitutional amendments that limit marriage to heterosexual couples.  I fully support civil unions and full rights for homosexual couples but don't call it marriage.  Jane and I went for our yearly health evaluations and my labs were all good and Jane now knows she needs her vitamin D everyday.  I switched to Xarelto from the warfarin and if all goes well will not have to go for monthly readings for my pro-time.  We had 2 open houses for graduations. We were at Maggie Pratt's in Dewitt and Greg and Denise's new home driving Peg there.  Today we went to Ben Alvarado's at the Valley Farms Community Center and met his girlfriend who did hers also.  Otherwise I've been taking it easy with my leg and listening to a lot of Frank Zappa.  I finished Janis Ian's autobiography as we had 5 days of 85+ temperatures this week. Simon came over today and trimmed up the yard and cut the grass on the hill that was neglected since my injury.  History and equal rights will be an issue that will face challenges that will expand or define the future of marriage in America. Meadow wind blowing by again altering everything in a quiet moment.
