The goddess of Love must have been visiting San Francisco lately, as she inspired the mayor, Gavin Newsom, to wed hundreds of same-sex couples in spite of imminent court injunctions banning the whole thing. (This article has all the details plus pictures, and I would only be paraphrasing, so click away...)
My uncle Eric, and his partner of 30-some years, Joe, were one of the lucky couples to be granted a ceremony declaring them "spouses for life". Inside City Hall, under the rotunda (where last June I sat on the wide stone railing and looked up up up and then down down down) they were wed by Leslie Katz, a former San Fran supervisor. I'd post photos but I don't know how.
(Long-time readers will remember these were the wonderful people who had me as a houseguest in May of 03, and those who don't can always read the archives to the left there.)

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
