'Night all

The sky was blue, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, I had plenty of work to do, and LIVERPOOL LOST. Sounds like a good day to me. :)

I drove an hour to get to a council meeting I had to cover - and I got there half an hour early. Then the meeting only lasted half an hour. Another hour's drive home to write the story. I still almost missed my deadline because Z popped up for a chat, I made food, then I got a phone call from a woman who writes for our paper too. At least it was a really easy story to write. Pretty much no-thought-required. I like thinking - I do - but I'll take an easy one over a tough one for the same money. Why not?

Tonight's the last night before the girls start school on Wednesday. Gin decided that she was going to go to bed at nine o'clock starting Sunday. Needless to say, that hasn't happened. Not even close. Surprise, surprise - they're still up now at....11:17.

I'm still up too, of course. I don't sleep this early - when I sleep, that is. It's been a little better lately. I've been able to sleep in and actually stay asleep. Of course, that's all about to end as the girls go back to school. Typical. Yes, I know. I could just go to bed earlier. Right. That's gonna happen.

Okay, okay - I'll go to bed. In a little while.

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
