Winter!

Winter has finally come to CT!

Day 1!

We were so excited by the snow that we thought it was an awesome idea to shovel!


Day 2 of our big winter storm!


Work it Sara!


Sara tosses the snow but it blows back!

Save the Children

Two of my Malawi photos were used on the www.savethechildren.org web site today.

I have a small photo on their front page and another in the article about Dana and Billy and the school their wedding funded.

Sara just taught me how to do this...I tried to make a web page into a jpg, which is no easy feat when you have no clue about this stuff.

Here is part of the article.

More marriage equality pics

As promised...


Protesters in front of New Haven City Hall.




Not to detract from the seriousness of these photos, but Sara's butt is back by popular demand.

This is the emcee from the Answer Coalition.

Attack of the H8 spoon! Dana's mini sign on a sauce spoon will forever go down in history.

If only "mainstream" America got this idea.
.
A camera guy came up to Tiff, Sara, Dana and I and asked if any of us would answer some questions. As a former part of the media, I fear it. Tiff, Sara and I ran away. I turn to stuttering goo when film crews are around. Dana answered with confidence and what seemed to be a prepared statement for wfsb3 as a cute kid uses a chain as a swing. =)

The people united will never be defeated

Across the world yesterday at 1:30 Eastern Time protesters hit the streets to rally against California's heinous, unconstitutional Proposition 8. Jointheimpact.wetpaint.com was the organizer of this multinational event.

These photos are part of New Haven, Connecticut's story. I will try to upload my additional pictures for the next couple of days.

We guess 400 to 500 people, all toting swanky signs, descended at New Haven City Hall.

Sara (top) makes her second appearance at a protest.

The woman carrying this sign served in the U.S. Marine Corps.


These ladies organized the New Haven contingent for Join the Impact. They're Yale Law School students.

I love this sign!

The road less traveled


Sara and I went leaf peeping this past weekend in the town of Guilford, VT. The bed and breakfast we stayed at couldn't have been in a more picturesque locale. Our room's balcony faced the rapidly flowing Green River, the front faced an old church and red covered bridge near a gorgeous man made waterfall. Classic Vermont.


Sometimes Sara just feels the need to spontaneously bust out in interpretive dance.



And sometimes I like to hang out in dark bridges.



I like this one of trees reflected on the water. I don't know if it works. But I like it.

Thank you Connecticut!


In an historic decision Friday, the CT Supreme Court decided that it will not discriminate against the gay community any longer. Gays now have the right to marry. The court said civil unions did not offer enough protection. Connecticut is now the third state to legalize gay marriage, behind Massachusetts and California. So far the world hasn't gone to hell because of these rulings. What a shock.

Here are some photos from the rally Friday night.



Sara's first big gay rally! Lately she's been the poster child of equality. She is even from the Equality State!

This crowd was amazing. It was young and old people, gay couples with children, and supportive parents of gays. When I saw the sign that said "Proud Mom" I lost it.




The media frenzy...


For those of you CT residents who know and love us, please consider this when you get to the polls Nov. 4th. Regardless of who you vote for this election, PLEASE VOTE "NO" on the Constitutional Convention. Our future may depend on it...

Gay marriage for CT!

In honor of today's ruling, here's my favorite picture of Sara and I. Sara is the one girl who has made me the happiest I could ever be. Did I say EVA? Eva. For realz. Sara is kind, compassionate, loving, encouraging and everything I could ever ask for in a partner/ girlfriend/ other half. And now our state has no other option but take us seriously in the future as we grow old together. See you at the rally!
