Introduction I started this blog to have a record of the year leading up to my marriage. Now, holy shit, I'm hitched! YAHOOTIE! I'm the same woman as before. I'm still tall. I'm still a Midwesterner living in the South. I still work in progressive politics despite residing in a Red, Red state. And Garrett, my new husband, is still a kind,loving new media designer and filmmaker with a flair for those things that are rock and/or roll. Together we have a veritable menagerie of animals and a family of friends. Life is good.
