It seems that Senator Larry Craig and Senator David Vitter have cosponsored a new bill. Bill S. J. RES. 43, "Marriage Protection Amendment". If ratified this bill would amend the US constitution to define marriage and between one man and one woman.
Who is the biggest hypocrite here? Vitter who was identified as a client of the infamous DC madam or Craig who has been arrested for soliciting sex from a undercover officer in a Men's room.
It seems that Vitter is trying to redeem himself for his prostitution acts by looking as if he has an idea of what protecting marriage is all about and Craig is simply continuing his long jog away from his homosexuality - a race he will never win.
Attention guys, merely putting a forth a Bill that is truly only symbolic to you is not how to defend marriage. Try this... Vitter - keep your pants zipped unless you are at home with your wife. Craig - come on already, give us all a break and stop with this nonsense. I'm sorry that you do not know how to deal with your homosexuality but stop lying to yourself and more importantly, your wife.

Irony...
I have to hand it to the hospital where I work. They have been on the Fortune 500 best places to work for the past 3 years. They indeed treat there employees to little perks here and there that make the facility a pleasant place to work.
One example of one of these "treats" every year around this time they have a big 4th of July celebration including food, music and the Houston Astros come and play games and visit patients. This year the lobby was all decorated in red white and blue with balloons and banners everywhere. Lunch consisted of Hotdogs and chips, which is about as American and 4th of July as you can get (I could not partake due to my low sodium diet... cursed meniere's).
As people were entering the celebration area we were all handed a small American flag. A little plastic flag attached to a little plastic stick. On examining the flag, printed on the side it says "Made in China". WTF???? So much for the "all american celebration".

going to the chapel and we're gonna get married... (been there, done that)
TP and I just returned from Toronto following our marriage ceremony. What a wonderful experience it was.
First off... thanks to our host Tom and Tony for being great tour guides and showing us the city, introducing us to so many people and for just being great guys. They certainly helped in making the weekend special.
Secondly, we could not have picked a better place to go through with our marriage plans. The entire city was so welcoming. Everyplace we went from City Hall to get our license, to the 2 ladies I spoke with at the fantastic Italian restuarant, to the Mimosa's sent to us from the waiters/ managers at several eateries, EVERYONE who heard we were getting married we very congratulatory and supportive. It was a very surprising attitude considering the atmosphere we live in here in the states where so much bigotry is shown towards homosexuality and especially gay marriage.
Thank you Canada!! and thanks to all our friends who made this event special.

Whew... what a roller coaster
Our surrogate and ourselves have been really excited the last 2 -3 weeks with her having high HCG levels we were confident she was pregnant with twins. Last week she had an Ultrasound which showed one sac but a very good heartbeat, which is unusual this early. It was still a little early to know if there were 2 or not. On Saturday she began having pain and bleeding, lots of bleeding. She went to a nearby hospital and another Ultrasound was done. There was still one sac and a very good heartbeat, but her cervix was open. She is now on bedrest.
Our IVF physician believes she was pregnant with twins and miscarried one of them. While we were excited about the prospect of twins, we will be very happy with a singleton. It just means we have to do this again. With our surrogate on our side, it will be easier the 2nd time around.
