This warms my cold and cynical heart

My mom texted me this weekend to tell me that two friends of theirs (F & W) got civil unionized on Friday. I've known them all my life and they've been together for about 30 years. F was my teacher from first to third grade. W is my sister's godfather and F is my brother's godfather. I'm really happy for them. According to my mom, they have wanted to do this for a while, and now with the new law in effect, they finally were able to. I sent them a nice card with my congratulations today.

I'm trying to clean up my room, because I invited Martina and Daniel over for dinner on Friday. I know what I'll cook then. I did however also invite my parents for dinner on Sunday and I'm still thinking about the menu.
