Two Things

1. I miss Bill.  If you didn't see Bill Clinton's speech - well you missed a great, rousing wonderful speech.  He brought a tear to my eye.  That damn 25th admendment.

2.  My good friend Joc and her husband (pictured below) were the witnesses and stood up for a US gay couple in Rochester (NY) as they went to Toronto to get married.  Joc - a Canuck - said that everyone was great to them.  The customs officers at the border, when they found out why the 4 of them were there, gave them little Canadian lapel pins.  The hotel upgraded their rooms.  The restaurant gave them free deserts, and drinks.  Even the Canadian Justice of the Peace helped one of the boys get through the ceremony as he teared up and had a hard time speaking.

As you can see, Joc looked great.  And ... well... kudos to you and Canada....
