One year ago the United States Supreme Court decided in favor of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then thousands of couples around the country have the right to marry the one they love. LGBTQ people can realize the hopes, dreams, benefits and promise of marriage. I salute my friends who are now living the life they fought for and dreamed about for years. May God bless them all today. Love does win, every time.
I am in favor of more schmaltzy musicals on TV and in the Movies. We have forgotten how to sing and dance and dream. It’s time we all let loose. The world is too serious these days, maybe we need a break from it all. 
I absolutely love this movie and the music from it. Some have called it cheesy and bad but they are wrong. This flick is about music and love and dreaming a little. Olivia Newton John is quite the muse. This movie is full of high class schmaltz.

Christmas is six months away from today. You have under 6 shopping months left. May the odds be in your favor. The holidays are on their way. Merry Christmas.
Time for some air conditioning and something cool to drink. Yes it’s hotter elsewhere but I’m not elsewhere.
I found this on Facebook. Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan is a young woman who faced fear and said it sucks. After being injured at the hands of extremists and lived to tell her story, she has become a global inspiration for us all. Perhaps we should focus on what is doing harm to the world. The 21st Century must be about advancing humanity instead of advancing harm, fear, unnecessary tools of destruction and most importantly making peace, making love and not making even more war. Just imagine if we focused on hope instead of hate.
We should be building schools, bridges, opportunities and not walls. Our greatest weaknesses come from a place of being scared I think. Maybe, just maybe we can change course, do good things. Love one another.
