The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Order of the week

Congratulations to all those who got married in California this week. Seriously, I think it's great. I'm not a huge marriage proponent, but it's here and I'm glad we've made yet another step in the right direction.

My feeling is that love doesn't need validation from outsiders. That the single most important thing in a relationship is loyalty. That though it is said that love is blind it really isn't, it just develops selective vision. That staying, especially when it's tough to do, is something you're going to do whether there's a piece of paper or not.

I'm managing to get nothing done though I'm still behind from taking the extra day this weekend. It's a fine art.

I brought everything I need to ride this afternoon at lunch and then realized that I have an appt and can't ride at all until at least this evening, and that's a maybe, it's supposed to rain. I swear I live in the tropics, and to quote Bette Midler in "Jinxed" "I hate the fuckin' tropics!" Maybe tomorrow.

Love
