Marriage equality remained in the news as Washington State's Legislature approved their version of the Washington Senate bill to legalize same sex marriage yesterday, which Governor Christine Gregoire is expected to sign into law. The Illinois State Legislature also introduced a marriage equality bill in its session yesterday along with bills progressing in the New Jersey and Maryland Legislatures. We could have 10 states with marriage equality by this time next year. One step at a time, we are drawing closer to full equality. Let's keep up the good work and press on to victory. Of course NOM, the AFA and the Republicans are having hissy fits, but let them hiss all they want, they are on the losing end of this battle. They know it and they know we know it, so they are howling like a stuck pig. I myself kinda like hearing them squeal as they go down for the count.
Meanwhile, here at the house, I am off for the next couple of days with a full list of chores and errands to accomplish. Some of them are in a holding pattern as my paycheck has yet to arrive for some reason. I hate when that happens, but there is little I can do about it for the moment. So I think I will surf the Internet for a while then take a nap. Sounds good to me! Before I go, I guess I should tell you about today's featured composer who is Hungarian and is widely regarded as one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century. Joseph Joachim was a collaborator with Johannes Brahms and a protege of Felix Mendelssohn. The video today is his Violin Concerto Number 2, Opus 11 "In the Hungarian Style" performed by Rachel Barton Pine with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carlos Kalmar.
