Oh yeah, this story got me choked up. "Quincy couple stays together for 63 years until the end."An intense, but sort of awesome, post from Penelope Trunk, on Twittering, online communication, and being a stay-at-home parent.
Love her and love this song: Mary J. Blige "Just Fine." One of the most reliable pep up songs ever.

From the Alaska Employment Law Blog, news out of the 9th Circuit: "9th Cir: Transgender Employment Discrimination Violates Title VII: Following complaints that a man was using the women’s restroom, an employer banned a transsexual employee from using the restroom until she could prove completion of sex reassignment surgery. The trial court dismissed claims under Title VII, Title IX, and Section 1983. The 9th Circuit has now affirmed the dismissal, but in the process re-affirmed that sex-stereotyping of transgendered employees violates Title VII. The Court agreed with the trial judge that the employee had failed to rebut the employer’s non-discriminatory rationale. "
Oooh, I love book-making...
From RaceWire, really interesting: "English Immersion, Educational Exclusion": "How long does it take to make a child give up on school? Since the 2003 academic year, Boston has pushed public school students with limited English ability—who speak everything from Cantonese to Haitian Creole—into “Sheltered English Immersion” programs. The initiative, the result of a 2002 referendum, was emphasized English as the language of instruction, in contrast to traditional bilingual education that teaches students in their native language."
