IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
Wow... it's really hard to believe that it's been a year. That I've worked on it for so long. That I've kept it going, even during the dry times. That I've kept it going at all.
A few weeks ago, there was a piece of information about a hospital in Indiana. A year ago, some hospital workers, in their infinite "wisdom", decided to call a woman there a "he-she" and a "it". When hospital administrators found out about this, this hospital changed its tune, big time. Today, this hospital is a model for others in Indiana, the nation, and the world for compassion, care, and proactive vision. Lives are being saved.
You are making this happen.
A few years ago, New York, even with a Democratic majority at the time, failed to approve a marriage equality bill. Now, even with a Republican majority, the Senate approved the bill they had previously failed to pass.
You are making this happen.
I am happy. Deliriously, wonderfully happy. There are a few things that make me even happier, though. For the most part,the "comment" section is silent. Even a few sentences would turn this into more of a conversation.
Also, when you e-write the President, Senator, Congressperson, Governor, state Senate or Representative, let me know! Even a line or two helps. The same goes for anywhere else in the world.
For all of you who have e-listened in the past year, thank you so, so, much. The way things are going, there will be even more in store!

I'm impressed...
The more I research the various charities, the one I am most singularly impressed with Doctors Without Borders. You can donate to any charity you wish, of course, but I think you will be similarly impressed. Please take a few moments to read their blog. Thanx.

ezs note- When I ran across this piece yesterday - wow... - I was so flabbergasted by how big a pile this crap was. I had to reprint it, if only for the sheer hilarity this, uh, "tome" was. And if you feel the need, please put something in the "comments" section below. Have fun! Make fun at his expense! (after all, he richly deserves it)
