Stay denied, EO marriages can begin again August 18th.

The actual document is pretty good reading, IMHO. Dang, this is one cranky grandpa.

"Proponents had a full opportunity to provide evidence in support of their position and nevertheless failed to present even one credible witness on the government interest in Proposition 8."

Before and after is equally awesome.

They have a week to get ready for this.

I knew it. It's good to be right, some days.

One too many power-ons and the television just said screw it and went toes up. I'd been wondering how much longer it would go (holding out on not buying anything HD because of the domino effect it would have) - and lo and behold, today was the day I found out. Wonder no longer.

Now, the reason for all the extra power ons is another matter - but I was at work, the boys were at home and there were clothes involved (or the lack of them) and the television had been turned off to deal with it. I think kid just got the luck of the draw - and both of them got a teaching moment.

Me, I got to go home and help pick out and install the new television. Then go have a lovely lunch with my boys eating noodles and listen to my kid talk to his bowl of udon because it tasted so good.

This is where I mention how incredibly fortunate I am. I have the resources to make this a mild to moderate distraction - not have to rend my garments and wail to the sky.

And do without television services in the living room.

As it stands, we have a lovely new 32" HD set that will likely only look better once the signal is upgraded. Even with these terrible glasses I can tell the picture is better.

This old set was one I bought new right after Cliff passed - and it makes me sad in places because it's another reminder of just how much time has sped by since then. Gosh, that was fast - and nearly effortless. If it were people, it would be heading for junior high school.

Right now, I need to put it someplace while I find where to take it to be recycled.

That was my Friday. MUCH better than most of the other ones I know of right now.

I just got off the phone with Val from Heartsent.

We have our travel dates - and as anticipated, we never got the final decree news - just when our appointment with AIT (Immigration) is.

Which is the 17th of March.

That would mean will be picking Xander up from St. Lucy's on the 16th of March.

We then pick up the visa the next day after the appointment with AIT, then travel home on the 19th.

We'll be home by the 22nd.

I've called just about everyone - but xanxanbell has been updated with the news.

Tomorrow, I start working the flights and hotels. Then notifying the daycare provider - and calling in the favors from work and so on.

Of course, we will be stepping up the child-proofing. *giggles*

And we can make AOD. I can even take in one more trip to Las Vegas and get that out of my system.

*whew* Finally. Now, we know.

Who signed me up for a skateboarder's clothing catalog under 'Dorothy' and sent it to me at work?

FESS UP.

My grand-boss adores making fun of my mail. Whoever put me on the Manilow credit card mailing list, DIE.

At. Work. DIEDIEDIE.

But you, who decided I needed this AWESOME catalog (oh dear GHAAADS, it's hysterical) - you can stay.

Seriously. It's all hoodies and bright colored sneakers. Pink and purple plaid flannel shirts. It's going straight to catsonmars after I get through with it.
