So, on a beautiful 76 degree day, on April 25th, 2009, Julisa and I got married.



Our photographer has a slideshow online at: http://wedding64.com/cjrwed/ and we have a temp listing of pics at http://www.camruh.com/Pics/OurWedding for those who want to see pics.

We're both happy beyond belief and still enjoying the honeymoon despite realities best attempts to intrude.

The last 8 years, politically speaking, have been the worst of my life. I've been politically aware since age 10. If I could have voted, I would have voted for Reagan both in 1980 and 1984. I did vote for Bush in 1988. In 1992 and 1996 I voted for Clinton. I did not vote for Bush Jr. in 2000 or 2004. To say that Bush Jr. has been the worst of the bunch would be a tremendous understatement. September 11th did not fundamentally change the world, but it was used by Bush Jr to justify his complete and total disregard for the Constitution and the well being of his countrymen and women. Today, with the inauguration of Obama, my head, as an American, no longer is slumped in shame and disgust. However, I can not hold it high yet either. It's not enough to just move forward. One can not just close ones eyes to a crime and the pretend that it never happened once the criminal has moved past. We are supposedly a nation of laws. Now it's time to see if that's really true or not.
