Health Care Reform 22 hours ago

I have written several times now. I have no hope at all for one senator and am sure the other senator was always on board. My representative is one of those “blue dogs’. I have to look to see how the vote went. but at least I know it DID pass the house. Some of the things that people who oppose this idea say make me so mad and some make me sad. When I heard Michael Steele call it a bill “that nobody wants” I actually cried. I want health care reform, so I guess that makes me nobody. I guess I just don’t exist in his book.

Olympic National Park 22 hours ago

In early October I took another business trip to Seattle. Afterwards I moved to my friends home for a couple of days. I had thought we could do a day trip to Mt Rainier, but for a variety of reasons, we ended up on the Olympic Peninsula and in the park there. Of course it was gorgeous. I was amazed at the size of the trees and how GREEN everything is there.

Student Celebrant 23 hours ago

I’ve started the formal celebrant education program. It’s very enjoyable and I’m sure I’ll do fine. My classmates are very interesting. We’re learning now about ceremony and ritual in general.
