Hear act 2 which is by Dan Savage and is called "And daddy makes three." Act 2 starts 18 minutes in and goes for 11 minutes. There are many times I've pictured this conversation on the couch between Dan & DJ, while they waited for DJ's Tylenol to kick in.

YJNK, thanks for the link to that excellent blog; I'm going to be following it closely, especially now to see what it has to say in the wake of P8. David, thanks for your love and support, it means a lot to me. And MTC! What an articulate and considered and passionate response -- thank you. From your lips to god's ear, eh?<BR/><BR/>As for the congratulations....they may be a tad premature, since now the James and I have to journey to Massachusetts to make good on my threat. But hey, what a great reason to see the autumn leaves next year. And to visit my Salem ancestors...spiritually speaking, anyway.....Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157076523366054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-82650014653072288172008-11-18T22:11:00.000-08:002008-11-18T22:11:00.000-08:00Regarding the disturbing success of Proposition 8 ...Regarding the disturbing success of Proposition 8 in California, I take some comfort in the sentiments of Martin Luther King, when he said, "We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."<BR/><BR/>Polling data on the issue of same-sex marriage indicates that a significant generational shift in attitudes is on its way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying, "Be patient" -- just that I trust that sometime in the future, a great many people will look back with wonderment (and chagrin) that gay marriage was ever an item of debate in this nation.<BR/><BR/>In the same MLK speech from which that first quote was drawn, he spoke of Rip Van Winkle who, after sleeping for twenty years, awoke to an unfamiliar, post-revolutionary world. MLK said, "While he was peacefully snoring up in the mountain, a revolution was taking place that at points would change the course of history and Rip knew nothing about it. He was asleep. Yes, he slept through a revolution. And one of the great liabilities of life is that all too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation demands. They end up sleeping through a revolution."<BR/><BR/>And I join the others in extending my congratulations!MightyToyCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523823158706838012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-46728239926271121852008-11-18T11:09:00.000-08:002008-11-18T11:09:00.000-08:00mead i adore you. xx david adjmimead i adore you. <BR/><BR/>xx david adjmiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099042645561233793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-87725725504420509302008-11-18T10:27:00.000-08:002008-11-18T10:27:00.000-08:00Think about this: how many--how many, Mead--hearts...Think about this: how many--how many, Mead--hearts are you going to shatter? Eh? Into dust. Like Midori vases flung from a skyscraper.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, congratulations!<BR/><BR/>As to the political/civil rights issue, Sisyphus may, as Camus theorized, have been a happy man. But I'm willing to bet he was a tired one too. I've despaired sometimes that things will ever change; this year, that despair has lessened, but we have a long, long ways to go before the rock rolls down the other side of the hill.Steve Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14588201067230147903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-91434244446915533882008-11-17T23:23:00.000-08:002008-11-17T23:23:00.000-08:00This is a website I find valuable to read on the t...This is a website I find valuable to read on the topic of sexual prejudice:<BR/>http://www.beyondhomophobia.com/blog/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-69927499992404132382008-11-17T23:20:00.000-08:002008-11-17T23:20:00.000-08:00Congratulations and best wishes!When you say now y...Congratulations and best wishes!<BR/><BR/>When you say now you're going to get married. . . would you pin down "now" a little bit? <BR/><BR/>Also, will you be inviting your sainted mothers to the ceremony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-29224603877467768672008-11-17T21:41:00.000-08:002008-11-17T21:41:00.000-08:00Congratulations, Mead, and best wishes.
