At last

[altivo]

Finally managed to squeeze a week off into the calendar. Last week of August, and boy do I need it. What I really need is two solid weeks off, but every time I hint at that, there's a certain feeling of terror I see creep over some people. Not that our network needs constant tweaking. Other than changing backup tapes, I often go months without

The meteor shower sounds like it would be a wonderful thing to see. Were it not for the fact that I'm already grossly sleep-deprived, I would love to stay up and watch it. Unfortunately, my friend is coming early tomorrow morning with his front-end-loader to build a gravel pad next to the garage, and that means I'm going to have to be awake around 6:30am to make sure that everything is out of the way before he gets here.

I share your pain and grievances about the constant denial of legal recognition for same-sex couples. I am thankful that they are now recognized in Canada, but I see so many of my friends elsewhere still being denied the Right. There was many a time that I felt so alone and depressed and full of despair (this was all before meeting Trixstir) because there were (and are) those out there who would like nothing more than if I and all those like me would just disappear forever. They're not happy with denying your relationship rights, they'd really like to deny your right to even exist. I'd better stop now before I really take off on a tangent. :/

Well, don't be fooled by the Google logo for the day. At least here, the meteors were a bit of a disappointment. I should have known that when an event gets as much hype as this one has had, it rarely lives up to it. I went out just after 3 and stood in the pasture for 45 minutes. Saw two good meteor trails and no more than four or five weak flickers. There were probably a good many more faint ones, but the moon was so bright that it overpowered everything.

Thanks for your affirmation on the relationship issue. Sometimes it does help to know that others care and I'm not just imagining this.
