Hitchens Has Passed
A great and provocative thinker died today. Christopher Hitchens, age 62, died from pneumonia (a complication of the oesophageal cancer he had) at a Texas hospital.
The “We Do” Campaign (North Carolina)
We will be judged by future generations in the same way that we judge those in the past whom did not support racial equality and women's suffrage. Marriage equality makes sense and is just - why does anyone beyond these couples care?

Sorry It Took So Long…
Take that! Though truthfully, this is more in line with my sentiments on the death of that psychopathic asshole:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

My Poor Car
I bring sad news about my car. Today I was in my first (and hopefully only) car accident!
No humans were injured. The other person's car, an SUV, had relatively minor damage to it's rear bumper. My beautiful, well-loved 1996 Honda Accord - on which we just spent $1000+ replacing the timing belt, pump, etc. - faired much worse:
I am glad no one was hurt, but at the same time I feel so sad that my wonderful little car was so damaged. No word yet from the auto body shop on how much the repairs might cost. So far my insurance and agent (Brent with Travelers) have been outstanding in handling this situation; within a couple hours I was driving away from the body shop in a (free to me) rental car.
The wife is angling to use this as an excuse to do a little vehicle shuffling. She has her eye on the GMC Acadia - any thoughts on that car?
