- Cherry, without whom I don’t know if I would have survived high school. And I mean that literally. She’s on my mind tonight because she was just in town for the Freedom to Marry gala.
- Joe Biden, who spoke at the gala. His speech was stirring and I’ve always admired him.
- The sale Pink was having yesterday, which helped me afford (to the extent I can afford anything) a new suit, which I really need to have on hand, precisely for events like last night. It’s grey and fits and I love it, though I haven’t worn it out yet. I came across it while I was looking for a tie to go with the new jacket I got last week for the gala. I know I’m spending too much, but I feel like things like suits and jackets are important.
- Water. I have access to clean water pretty much whenever I want it. That fact alone makes me one of the most privileged people ever to have lived.
- The opportunity to have gone to the gala. Aside from Biden the event itself was sorta dull – just a big cocktail party with no chairs – but it was fun to have Cherry here and to get dressed up and go across the street to Cipriani, where I’ve never been. I met one of the plaintiffs in Obergefell v Hodges.
Many thanks,
Me
