anyway

so whip it was fantastic-but really not surprising given the awesome cast, bumping soundtrack and the appearance of yet another wilson. (jeez, they are getting almost as prolific as the baldwins!) we both had fun and wow, big props to kristen wigg for pulling out the surprise performance of the summer. she's got the mad skills, so recognize. not just another snl flash in the pan, this one.... we got our free tshirts and went to muddy's for their world famous cupcakes though i couldn't really eat mine, one of my neighbor kids enjoyed it though. if yr in memphis they won a "best of" competition for bakery and you might even say hi to my friend ethan if you are fortunate!

so we're finally getting that perfect weather that makes just sitting outside a pleasure in and of itself. its wonderful to have the windows open wide and feel the nice fragrance of mown grass and sunshine. perfect riding weather!! after weeks of rain, every human in memphis deserves to just get out and suffuse themselves in something truly simple, something truly good. the gift of a beautiful day.

namaste! i'm already dreading the ugh of monday but right now, things are....perfect.
in that spirit, i do urge anyone who in interested to join me in supporting a most basic human right for a couple of boys in iran who are threatened with execution for nothing more than admitting their love for each other. some people can't let go and move on--it's something i'm starting to see more and more. they hide behind traditions and outdated poorly interpreted scripture as canon so instead of the new sincerity we get the new hate. there is so much that can be good and beautiful on this planet that it boggles my mind how some people can be so hate-filled that they can only focus solely on that, teaching hate to children, disseminating their "propaganda" and infusing the world around them with more of the same bitter spite.
these are 2 kids, just boys, and they've done nothing. there is a time for keeping quiet, letting those whose words are imbued with bile and avarice just them wear themselves out spewing hate. but ultimately its listening that gives them power. lets try for once to empower the people who want things to be better, not worse. for all people, not just some. please help. http://www.petitiononline.com/irangay/
some things matter.
some things don't.
