Tuesday, 09 November 2010 -- Day 324 (337)

In the midst of feeling like I'm cursed, I learned yesterday that my brother Ron is marrying his partner of 30+ years this Friday.  So, Ron, if you're reading this.......I'll be at your house.....Friday at 5:30.....camera in hand!  Ever since Iowa made same-sex marriage legal a couple of years ago, he and Dan have talked about getting married.  And now that Iowa voters chose to get rid of three of the Iowa Supreme Court Justices, the future of the same-sex marriage law is uncertain.  I'm not sure if this is their reasoning for tieing the knot now.  Actually, they should've been considered common-law decades ago, but I won't pursue that path here.  I'm just so happy for him.  And that happiness supercedes all bad luck.
