Well, it looks like things are over between Marie and me. It completely blindsided me (well, both of us), but we were powerless against it. We were watching that episode of Postcards from Buster on PBS that featured that lesbian couple and everyone within a three block radius of our house turned gay, us included. I never knew the power of television before, but clearly the efforts to block this show didn't do enough to save our relationship. I didn't vote for Bush, but am glad he's doing all he can to prevent anyone else from catching homosexuality.
