Things that have been going on in my life lately:
- Far too many amazing holiday parties
- Shopping for gifts
- Snow, lots of snow
- Reading group at work, making our way through AntiPatterns
- A few large refactoring projects at work
But work is done for the moment. Julie and I left town yesterday to visit her folks for Christmas. We'll be back in Boston on the 26th, and I'll be back to work in the new year.
Unrelated note: I hear that same-sex marriage is legal in Utah now? Well, that's unexpected! But I was amused to see the details of the ruling. Back when I was discussing
Windsor, I
noted that Scalia basically wrote the liberals' opinion for them, and suggested elsewhere that it would be amusing to write that future opinion as just "what Scalia said". I was amused to see that Judge Shelby, the District Court judge who wrote the opinion in the Utah marriage opinion,
did just that.
