The Ready Room, if you don't know, is the podcast I do every week about the role playing game that we play on Treksf. It was alot of fun as we got alot of people to join us. You can check out the Treks in Sci Fi Forums here. We recorded this skype call and turned it into podcast.

Obama's Agenda

Today I came across President Obama's Agenda and several things caught my eye. Under his civil rights section here is a "Support for the LGBT Community". And he mentioned one item that were very important to Harry and I.

Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples:
President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.

Many of you know Harry is from Austria and because of the DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) I could never sponsor Harry as my civil partner. We have been dealing with Harry's immagration status now for five years and if Obama acutally reverses this law it will open doors that he and I never though possible. If this does happen it will change Harry and my life forever.

A New Beginning

Today our 44th President took office. It’s been a day I have been waiting for, for 8 years. I am happy that Barack Obama won and we can finally get rid of one of the worse presidents in history.

President Obama has a very large task ahead of him and I don’t expect him to perform miracles but at least he can turn this country around and bring back hope and prosperity.

I stayed home an extra hour this morning so I could listen to his swearing in. It was such a monumental event and in the future I’ll be able to say I was here when our first black president took this country out of the darkness and brought it back into the light. Of course we have to see if he holds true to his promises, but there is something about this man that when he speaks, you know he speaks the truth. Here’s a fantastic four years!!!!

Happy Birthday Tom

Happy Birthday to one of my closest friends and former boyfriend. And to the ordained minister who married Harry and I last August. Thanks for always being there for me. Hope you have a great day.

Visiting Dad and More Editing

Today I got up early and did some more editing of my Doctor Who podcast. It's very slow going but I'm shaving off minutes here and there.

Around lunchtime Harry and I headed over to visit my Dad, brother and sister-in-law. It was a nice visit. We took dad out to our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch.

When I got back home I went back to editing the podcast. I finally got it down to 1 hour and 39 minutes. It's till over by 9 minutes but I can't cut anymore. I hope Rico will accept it at this length... I'm sure he will..
