En route to Connecticut

Minneapolis, Minnesotta

I am in the Minneapolis airport waiting for my connecting flight to Hartford Connecticut. I realized that I have been in this airport many times before but I don’t think I have ever ventured out into the city. Come to think about it I don’t think I have actually ever ‘been’ to Minneapolis in my life. The people getting off the plane I am about to board are all very well tanned. One woman had a Lei around her neck while a girl had a Mickey Mouse eared hat. They all look rather funny against the background of 25 degrees and snow but I guess that is what airports are all about. The accent and tone of the people around me definitely leave no doubt of what part of the US I am in though.

On the flight over I had a very good chat with Bob and Carol Clapp. Bob is a retired profession and theater director and Carol is very well read and broad in her knowledge. Definitely the best way to spend four hours in a tin can is by talking with people who have a lot they can talk about.

Last week I found a very small loose screw in my pant pocket. Try as I may I could not figure out what the screw fell out of. Today I found a small spring. I fear that I may be falling apart.

Multnomah County to Offer Gay Marriage Licenses

Saw a suprising news article on the KATU web site today. According to the article:

The Multnomah County Clerk’s office plans to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. at their office located at 501 S.E. Hawthorne.

Taking a look at Oregon’s marriage law, it states that marriage is a civil contract entered between males who are at least 17 years old and females who are at least 17 years old.

Way to go Multnomah county. Here is hoping the licenses stay valid through the inevitable legal challenges.
