"Defense" of marriage amendment defeated in Senate.

oh, and...

My friend Justin recently found a group that plays pick-up soccer in the evenings not too far from work, and we went by and played last night. About an hour and a half of soccer in the hot sun after a day of work was exhausting, but very fun. I took about half a dozen short breaks for water and oxygen :-), but was complimented by at least one guy as "hard to get past". As an aging, overweight, underskilled defender, I really appreciated that. :-)

Serious exercise three days outr of the last four--this is most unusual!

good god
