"Execution of Justice" and unbelievable rallies

a very well done play at Santa Clara Univ tonight, as the Kristin groupies attended. it is the story of the trial of Dan White, and Kristin played the defense attorney, originally written for a man. excellent staging, stirring plot...timed maybe to be around the election and definitely the approaching 30th anniversary of the assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk.

and then there were the thousands of people who turned out at city halls across California and the country in support of marriage equality. i drove by San Jose City Hall at 1:30 PM, 3 hours after the 10:30 AM start, and there were still maybe 30 people there and cars still driving by, with more signs, honking. turns out that one of Kristin's friends at the play had been there about when i was there, and i remember his sign: totally gay for marriage equality. 7500 in San Francisco. more in Sacramento. Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis all made one of the evening news shows. so it may turn out that prop 8 passing was actually better in the long run in terms of national education and progress. we'll see.

re Lindalphabet: thanks for the contributions. how could i have forgotten N is for Nectarine? Q is for Q-tip.

i'm still surprised that i put out one small bag of garbage weekly.
that i run the dishwasher once a week. that i do two loads of laundry at a time and it lasts for a long time. speaking of which i need to retrieve the next load while ketzl is out for his evening jaunt.
