Woo hoo! Time marches ON. Finally. ;) Congratulations!
I'm assuming I don't get the entire 100 bucks but rather just 50 for getting the name of the Bunny Boat right but the namer (Donald not Robert) wrong. I hereby declare that anyone who won any money needs to cut a check for said amount to Camp Shakespeare. So expect a check for 50 from me, Doc.
By the way, after 30 years of being together (but still not legal), Donna and I will soon be able to get domestic partnership status at Florida State University. We were married six years ago in San Francisco but of course it meant/means nothing to the state of Florida.
As a consequence of that discrimination, we have had to legally keep everything financial in our relationship completely separate-- meaning I could not share her health insurance, pension, or any of that. And for tax purposes, I've had to pay her rent to live in the house we both share.
But now that the IRS is saying that we are a federally recognized married couple and Florida State University is saying the same thing, we can finally marry our fortunes together.
As a chronically underemployed deaf, lesbian performance artist I don't bring quite as much to the table as a tenured full professor, but what the hell!
Being legally (as least as far as the FEDs and FSU go) as well as spiritually married is making us both feel weirdly, stupidly giddy.
Who would a thunk it.
Love and uh yippee!
Terry

The Bunny Boat. And it was named before I ever set eyes on it. I thought it was Robert Jackson who named it.
