New Law Would Ban Marriages Between People Who Don’t Love Each Other.
“Marriage has legal implications as well. For instance, if one member of a loveless couple got sick, their spouse could no longer visit them in the hospital to bereate them about how much that medical bill is going to cost.”

Backyard before and after: We had eight trees taken down this week—all Norway Maples in various stages of death. I went back through the archives to find a picture of the backyard and the one on top from the Summer 2004. It was our first realtor visit to the house before we bought it. The shady backyard was one of the selling points*. Below it is the same vantage this afternoon. You can see some interactive notes on the Flickr page.
* Selling points along with:
- the cool wood-panelled basement den. Taken out due to mold problems, it’s now bare cinder blocks.

The Visits are usually in the form of a consciousness of a larger cosmos, the awareness of an actor observing himself on the stage, of footfalls fording a braided stream of places, events, lives, and deaths."

Micah's Ministry Newsletter #17 - Growing Roots in the City and in the Soul
In part of which he and Faith comes to visit us (yea!):
The last month has been full of work and blessings, and there is much to report. After being able to spend some weeks at home in DC, travel has reemerged as a signature feature of my life and work. In the months ahead, my schedule looks to grow only more intense as I work to strengthen Friends throughout my region and in North America as a whole.
