Paris & American Politics

Took a few days off to go to Paris to see my Uncle Fritz. Unfortunately didn't catch up with my Aunt Lou who was there for a biology conference. Always fun to see either or both of them... I'm very fond of them and their great to be with. Fritz and I just kicked around Paris all day and saw the sights and did some shopping. Was fun.

Am happy about the U.S. elections, but depressed at the seemingly universal success of anti-gay ballot initiatives. They won in every state but Arizona. The one in Virginia, my former state, is dangerously far reaching. It calls into serious question whether or not we will plan any of our wedding activities in that state when we get married in D.C. next year. We'd rather keep our money in D.C. or go to Maryland.

Here's hoping this is just a foreshadowing of greater things to come in 2008!
