after a beautiful sunny and warm weekend in DC we are headed back into the vortex, supposedly, tomorrow.

I am quite sure that microaggressions against gays are harmful, but what about similar microaggressions against the fat, or the ugly? I know it's COOL now to be gay, jason collins signed a 10 day contract with i can't recall which team, might it be the Nets? and they was a pictorial rendering done of it, so as to be able to mirror the iconic photo of Jackie Robinson signing his first contract in major baseball. Jason Collins is a MARGINAL player who was CUT from this very same team who is photgraphing his signing a TEN DAY CONTRACT as if it was some major piece of history. oh but it is, it's the first OPENLY GAY signing of a professional athlete. the same athlete that sucked so as to be cut by them earlier this season. Ok that rant was an aside to the fact that being gay is cool, but being fat and/or ugly is not, so you may feel free to commit microagressions and maybe even MACROaggressions against those marginalized groups.

I was sick while we had nice weather....back to winter for me. This cold had a fever, has been swelling up my sinuses, and I have fought back. My throat is beginning to feel better this morning. The body aches are easing up. I HATE being sick. I did not malinger to miss mass, I spared my church friends from this awful cold.
