Well
A Gay Husband, a Dire Diagnosis and the Best-Laid Plans
I was just as unprepared to hear my doctor say “lung cancer” as I had been to hear my husband say “I’m gay.”Drama.
As a child
I was told a story of a man who wanted to be a Missionary. His sponsors told him he must have a wife.
As a devout Christian he did not have a girlfriend who shared his ambition.
He consulted his fellow divinity students as to how to proceed.
They concluded he should make a list of the single girls he knew of, in order of preference, and ask them.
He did so.
He was not at all cheered by his twenty second choice.
The first who said yes.

Crosswords & Games
Words of Retraction
Bruce Haight sees us coming and going.
" There are few things that infuriate solvers more than a rebus
theme, but I think I could safely say that having to write backward in a
grid is pretty high up there.
Still,
as it says in Ecclesiastes, “To everything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven: A time for rebus, and a time to
write backward; a time to finish without Googling, and a time to goeth
down in flames, streakwise …” [We are so going to hell. — Ed.]"
Dante escaped from his Hell through Satan's anus.

An Open Adoption Now Crosses Many Time Zones
Amelia, 5, lives with her Mama and Mimi in Switzerland, Skypes with her birth mother in Seattle and was a flower girl at her birth father’s wedding.People are hard wired for food, sex and babies.
In some the wires get crossed.
As the Viking captain briefed his party:
"Rape, kill, pillage and burn.
Get it right this time."
An open adoption is acceptable to me.
I think I would be enthusiastic.
I do not know how much help I would be.

People must stop using fossil carbon.
I have not stopped and am thus guilty.
