1. ”Oh, hi!  I’m a Christian with 30 million dollars.  Let’s see… AIDS, poverty, missions, starvation, illiteracy….Nope, I think I’ll keep gay people from marrying!”

2. I am not really a political person, but I seem to be unable to stop ranting about these goings on.  My sister and I have moved on from our “here come the Obamalypse” Facebook friends, abstinence-based sex-ed, and purity rings to scheming how to get fresh veg NOT drowned in cream-of-what-have-you sauces at Grandma’s Thanksgiving.

It was quite an effort to get Grandma’s permission to bring anything, but I am allowed one pumpkin pie.  J3 will offer “breakfast pastries.”  I will also be packing a keg of cran-grape for P, who is a fruit juice vampire.  Grandma makes wonderful things to eat and plenty of them, but they are of a mayonnaise-, bacon fat- and margarine-based nature, which gave us pause once we reached an accountable age. We’ll just have to break up the inevitable family drama with jogging and soccer.

On the non-self-absorbed front, we’re thankful she’s still around and willing to host, as family events are much pleasanter there.  Our poor family camps together in the rec room, while we married couples get the two bedrooms.  We’re going to turn one of them into a speakeasy with a password to get in.
