This makes the holidays for me...

Protest -- you're doing it wrong.

College was recently targeted by the charming folks at the Westb0r0 Baptist Church for a play our drama dept was putting on (with HOMOSEXUAL! THEMES! GASP!) They planned to picket. We planned a counter-demonstration. There was drama. It was exciting.

I was either sick or nursing other sick family members, so I didn't get to see the end result. But when I asked a colleague, he said only one person showed up to protest. He covered his face and very meekly carried a sign reading, "Gays are Queer."

Wow, he sure told us!

At the end of the term (an update)

For those of you who have expressed concern, I'm surviving quite nicely. Actually, very happy and very energetic(!). And I'm giving finals this week, so I'm swamped with the world around me.

Besides work and a very active almost-4-year-old (and the almost-6-year-old keeps me on my toes, too), a couple of other things are distracting me from blogging: Facebook (addicted!) and the beginnings of basketball season. I will be back. Probably not as frequently, but from time to time. This format suits my needs in ways that facebook does not, so I promise I am not totally gone.

Happy December to y'all!!!
