Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have going on today.  First up, of course, thoughts go out to Boston.  I was running tonight at the gym, and not that it did a bit of difference, but it was nice to run for them.

This capped off the week with the DOMA and Prop 8 cases, and of course, it’s always fun when there’s alcohol involved:

 This judge is awesome: his cell phone went off during court, so he held himself in contempt and paid the fine.

Here are instructions for making a picnic table with a built in cooler, perfect for wine or beer for a picnic.  Awesome DIY project, and I can certainly think of certain family members/friends who would love this!

 

A good comic:

California is moving to remove tax-exempt status from charities that discriminate based on sexual orientation or religion, which would make the BSA councils pay tax.

The Church of England slowly moves forward, suggesting that they allow same-sex blessings.  Now, to be fair, the marriage equality legislation moving through Parliament specifically outlaws same-sex matrimony in the Church of England, and the Church says matrimony itself should only be between a man and a women, so they have some room to grow.  It’s weird having a state religion.

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more.



Well, I’m back.  Still not unpacked, but back, and getting things cleaned, so it’s a start.  Anyway, tomorrow (Saturday) is the 4th Annual Start of Summer Picnic.  Come on by, we’ll have lunch, dinner, boccie, lawn darts, drinks and all kinds of goodness.  Bring a side or a dessert if you’d like to share and come on around back, we’ll be there all night.

Mika’s new album (The Boy Who Knew Too Much) comes out this fall, here is the music video for the first single “We Are Golden,”

I’m not a huge fan of the video, although I do like the part with the yellow comforter.  I do like the song a lot though.  I typically like rock/pop songs that have full orchestration, but this time, it’s the choir that drew me to this song.

That’s it for now, I have to do some shopping for the picnic, and of course, more cleaning.  Have a great one!
