Back from the Desert

I just had a whirlwind two day business trip to Arizona. I tried to post while I was there, but the wireless connection at the Hampton Inn on Oracle Road in Tucson, Arizona sucks ass, and not in the good way.
I have not been to the Southwest, outside of Texas, since I was a teenager. So much has changed in those few years. I was really struck by how beautiful it is there, i have a bunch of pictures, but they are on my laptop, and I am posting from work(SHH).

As a Catholic I was psyched to see this today-

Benedict XVI is a deeply conservative pope who has taken a strong line in the past on gays, calling homosexual orientation a tendency toward "intrinsic moral evil."
His handling of the latest controversy will be scrutinised for clues as to how he intends to drive forward his papacy in a Church also divided over other hot-button issues such as contraception, abortion, divorce and the ordination of women.
The Spanish bill, which is expected to be passed by the Senate upper house after its approval Thursday by lower house deputies, would allow gays to marry as well as adopt children.
Trujillo said that anyone asked to conduct such a ceremony should exercise the same right to conscientious objection as doctors asked to perform abort a foetus.

That is awesome. Fortunately my relationship with God is not dictated by a former member of the Nazi Party.

I want to send best wishes out to my friend Linus, who on his journey to manhood just spent a week in San Francisco "getting something off his chest". Good for you my friend, good for you! Have a speedy recovery.
