I heard about this actress in a Christmas pageant who was suspended 25 feet in the air by a rope and fell to the concrete floor below and died. How horrible! As sad as this is, it makes me realize how easily I could’ve died 26 years ago. I fell just 5 feet less than she did to escape with a broken arm. Every second I was falling seemed like an eternity, so I can just imagine the horror she must’ve felt!

Tom says he’s sure I’m wrong in thinking the Supreme Court has no authority to overturn the ban, pointing out other cases where bans have been overturned. He also says no case has ever retroactively undone something that was legal either, so he doesn’t see how the gay marriages here will be nullified. I hope he’s right!
