Salient serendipity

This is my 100th post!

The forecast calls for sunshine and 90 degrees today. Sun and 94 tomorrow. The humidity already is climbing. It's going to be miserable out. Seems too early in the year, but then nothing feels quite right lately. How did someone so far away come to so integral to my life?

Serendipity (the movie) is on this morning. I never seem to be able to avoid watching it when it's on. It's become another When Harry Met Sally... to me, or even The Princess Bride. Hmm....... sappy stories of love and destiny and luck and fate. I believed - once. It wasn't perfect, by any standard. But it just felt RIGHT. He wasn't perfect, but HE felt right.

My mother called me this morning. Apparently my column was bumped from the local paper on Tuesday (it'll run Saturday instead - no big), but she was worried when she didn't see it. She's been with me through just about every relationship fiasco of my life, but she saw something different in this one too. She's concerned for me.

I don't want the weather to be in the 90s today... my AC is broken. Blah! Sorry for my rant in your comment section.

I ran across your blog on entrecard, I think it's pretty interesting. I've never seen Serendipity, or When Harry Met Sally. Shame on me. :)

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha
