Gov. W. Mitt Romney directed municipal clerks not to grant licenses to same-sex couples from out of state in March of this year. Eight couples from surrounding states challenged the decision in court. The judge sent the New York and Rhode Island cases back to lower courts. The plaintiffs from the other six states lost.
Romney praised the decision, saying at the time
"We don't want Massachusetts to become the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage."

This came from an article on a lesbian couple (from Rhode Island) who successfully proved their home state did not ban marriages between same sex couples. While their triumph has no impact on Mitt's edict to the town clerks of this great state, perhaps it might help get the "ball rolling" in Rhode Island. Here's hoping!!

Last night I met this great guy. We have talked a couple times online in the past. He invited me over to watch some TV (extreme Home Makeover & Desperate Housewives is what ended up being on, never seen either before). The conversation was pretty decent, come to find out he knows my brother-in-law's (step-sister's husband) family very well. He's a year younger than I am, works in the local Courts, is a Justice of the Peace and pretty cute as well. He also has his own amazingly huge home and is very sweet. This is the first person I have met in ages (I don't go thru with many online meetings comparatively) who I actually find common ground with and find interesting. Since I have to work today, after the 2nd show was over I said goodbye and came home.

I would very much like to see him again.

Yesterday with the kids was much like the previous day, we went crazy shopping, had a huge lunch at TGIF (their favorite) and came back here for a couple hours to chill out.

I've started this fascinating book, about Nel Gwyn, mistress to King Charles II (The reformation) son of the ill fated Charles I and great-grandson of Mary Queen of Scots. She had a bunch of kids with the King, and the Author is one of her descendants. A riveting book, I got pretty far before getting drowsy and falling asleep.

I started the Chantix anti-smoking meds yesterday. You smoke for the first week, by Monday I will be done with them. Then the dose increases double. It is supposed to have a 40% success rate (as opposed to 5% or less on the Patch or Gum & 10% on Wellbutrin). I'm ever hopeful.
