Dates
We picked up our Civil Union license today at the township and are on our way to being ‘legal’. It took some doing, but we finally coordinated everything; our Civil Union will take place on November 20th at Unity Church, which teaches Metaphysical [non-denominational] Christianity. I have gone to several different Unity Churches over the past twenty-six years and for quite a while, was quite active at this one. There have been times when I don’t go at all and am currently in the midst of one of them.
We had a ‘to-do’ with the minister about our business. He thought that all networking is Amway and would not listen when we tried to explain that we have a product brokerage company. Anyway, it mushroomed and we stopped going to services, but I believe in the principles and live by them. This minister is no longer there and there was quite a scandal regarding money and the huge debt he got the church into. The building of this beautiful church was totally donated by a member (a very rich member, who has since died). The building carries no mortgage and the only expenses are heat, electric, gardening/snow removal and the like.
Next, on November 18th our little Lucy, who is 6 1/2 months old will be spayed. It’s not quite as monumental as our ceremony, but is important, nonetheless. She will be 7 months old on the 27th and I want to get this done before her first heat.
Busy Girl.
On the 26th, the day before Thanksgiving, we are going to a Tina Turner concert YAY! I think she is so amazing. I read somewhere today that the 26th is her 69th birthday – way cool!
On December 5, a group of us old broads are going to see 4 female comedians in a review called "Ladies Let Loose". They do this every year (I think twice) at a local theater. We have seen this two times before and it is a scream.
Kody, all grown up.
Bandit spends way to much time in my office (getting hair in my computer) and often laying on front of my keyboard.

How cute are the kids!! I’ve always thought if I went to an actual church, I’d probably like the Unitarian church. My office-mate just saw Tina Turner in Atlanta on Sunday. He said it was fantastic – incredible show, and also incredible that she’s 69-

Congradulations on your Civil Union. Your pets are so cute, I like that you said “the spaying isn’t as important as your Union, but is it still up there.” it made me smile. I just wanted to let you know that I am reading your diary as an inperation. It makes me realize on my bad days, that love isn’t illigal. Sorry for the bad spelling. blessed be, black and red

congrats!!! that is just wonderful. It seems we know so many folks that are getting hitched these days. One couple we know (guys) were planning on heading to CA (they live in MD) when one gets back from Iraq, but I guess they’ll have to go somewhere else now. I think the tide will turn in our favor, this was just a minor setback, something to make the general populace realize how unfairit is. The Unitarians are cool – our TG/TS support group meets in the Universalist church near here, and they’re really cool, they give us a good rate. They hosted the LGBT high school prom too, last April, that was a blast. take care, i hope Lucy recovers quickly. They seem to get back pretty fast (at least, compared to us!). Best in everything. many hugs jude

Hey, that is great about your civil union. Thanks for your note – the thing that got me writing about it is that there seems to be a fundamental dissonance with whole marriage thing: no matter who/how/where you marry, to dissolve the marriage takes the courts, not the church – sure there are annulments, but there still has to be the legal bit. So let everyone get the civil union and choose to havethe marriage bit be in the church or not – but don’t deny the right to be a couple legally to anyone just to discriminate. Parity for the act of commitment no matter who the couple might be. Anyway, I am happy to hear that you and Linda are closing the legal loop in the property and tax aspects and am glad that you are able to celebrate your union in the church. As it should be. Have a great ceremony and hopefully, little Lucy will be a good girl with respect to her sutures, unlike our little Cera…:) Hugs,
