E-Paul and I had a great time at the wedding. In addition to my blood relatives, my "family" also consists of three unrelated families that spend a lot of time together. As with any Brancato-Hill-Starr function, the party rocked. My nuclear family tends to dance all night at these kinds of events, and I discovered that my 2 year old nephew is no exception. Also typical at my family weddings - the groom's band sat in for a few songs.

According to e-paul, he doesn't know how to dance. I find this interesting since he used to go to raves every weekend.

If I actually had the opportunity to speak to an opponent of gay marriage in an open discussion, I'd have these comments and questions.

The notion of marriage as only a heterosexual union is presumably based on the tenet that heterosexuality is more "natural." In other words, heterosexual relationships can produce offspring while homosexual unions cannot. So if the only marriages that are valid are those that are based on the possibility of procreation (in an overpopulated world), are marriages without children valid? What about men and women that have a physical ailment that does not allow them to procreate? Or those that are too old to procreate? Should their marriage be dissolved? In fact, aren't we just saying that the point of marriage is to have sex?

If anyone has insight, please comment.

Anyone interested in joining a book club? We're going to focus on classic literature and leftist writings.

I got Fight Club too. How unoriginal.

The one and only haikuster will be in town this weekend, so I propose that we dedicate epeep Thursday night at the Pink to her. One more event to add to that busy calendar.
