Legally Defining Proper Marriage

Proposition 8, on which Californians will vote on 4 November, defines marriage in California as between a man and a woman.

Let us do all we can to uphold the definition of marriage.

Let us hope that when our children are grown, they can enjoy the blessings of proper marriage as much as we have.

Presentation, the last frontier

Okay, one thing I don't do (yet) is make things pretty.

I love to create order, but I don't know how to create beauty yet.

I am utilitarian, Royal is more aesthetic-ist. I'm all about function. He is all about form.

So, I've just been thinking about making a delicious cake for my cousin's upcoming wedding. (Just as a sort of gift, it is a VERY small, simple wedding.) The thing is, the cake isn't pretty. It is absolutely sensational (and I'm speaking as one who doesn't usually enjoy cake that much). And wouldn't it be unseemly to bring an ugly cake to a wedding?

Hmmm. I'm not sure. Aunt Carol, what do you think?
