The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the Affordable Care Act as written, striking down a challenge to the law that would have deprived millions of Americans their health care coverage. The law isn't perfect, but it's still better than what we had before the ACA was

That's a lovely story. Is the video of the acceptance speech available anywhere?

(I've only met her the once, on their New Zealand visit. This brings back memories)

No video yet. I shot it vertically but it's displaying horizontally. Trying to get that fixed, and since she's under 21, I'm reluctant to share it publicly, given how protective Jay was. Will fix the orientation problem first, and then check with her and her mom to see what their comfort level is about sharing it.

Your weekend sounds emotional and gratifying.

And congrats on the award nomination! I have thought from the beginning that you were the ideal person to tackle the literacy project.

That's great (last paragraph); it means you're on the radar at your company, which is so important.

OK, it's been 3 days - I WANT MY GAY APOCALYPSE!!!!!

Why aren't toads raining from the heavens??? Why hasn't the Mississippi turned to blood? Mount Rushmore shattered into sand? The Tidal Basin a lake of fire?

Or was that all bullshit?
