Tidings

So Tripnic is behind still, though I'm getting within striking distance of reality. It's worth breaking the continuity though to comment on a few significant events in the past days. First, we were thrilled to watch the BBC report the results of the presidential election as they were announced in what were the early morning hours of November 5, 2008, in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. We fell asleep happy with news of mid- and south- western electoral wins and overwhelming turnout across the nation. In the morning though we finally got to a computer and to the news that Proposition 8 would pass in California. Now, a week later, the election results have been rendered still more bittersweet by the passing of Aaron's dear friend Phil. Aaron will be in New York this weekend for those of you also there.

On a far happier note, today is my uncle Tom's birthday. Happy six oh!!!

xoxo Jessie
