It is Freedom to Marry week and nearly 30 people showed in Harrisburg in support of SB 935 which would legalize same sex marriage in Pennsylvania. 30 is pretty impressive considering the weather. Ha.

Well, I've been able to get out for work purposes, but Ledcat and I are both struggling with some cabin fever.  Don't get me wrong — we are so very grateful that our power never failed us and that we managed to dig the vehicles out with some assistance from our neighbors.  Note:  one real […]
