End-of-June Update

Hasn't June gone by so fast? Happy school's-out-for-summer, everyone!!

Starting with some public interest pieces from the New York Times.  This article about the horrendous landscape of care in military hospitals in lengthy, but worth reading.  The other day Zoe came home with a frisbee from the park with this image on it, which only makes me question just about everything related to funding...
Continuing with a feature on the first five legal same sex marriages to be announced in the New York Times ten years ago-- where are they now?  Scroll down on this link to see some graphics that may make you feel optimistic (assuming you are rooting for gay marriage).  I'm still a little confused because I've gotten feedback that I need to present two sides here-- do I always???

Marni submitted this specifically for Christina and I'm neither sure why that is true or why this business that delivers you quarters to do your laundry ever existed, even for a moment, but I do understand why it didn't last.  

Now, some homework for you-- pay attention early this week (likely Monday) to see the results of the Supreme Court's decision on Obamacare's birth control mandate.  Oh, Hobby Lobby.  I knew there was a reason I could never get into scrapbooking.  More info here

And keeping you informed about Iraq-- the upheaval is creating large numbers of refugees.  

Are you offended by or enjoying news that in no way should be news?  Here is a little more.  Can't resist b/c I just started watching Orange is the New Black because Christina insisted on it!

Did you hear about this currently living and flying Amelia Earhart?  So strange.  It is making me second guess my baby name choices-- should I choose someone famous who didn't get to finish something so this baby will have direction in life? 

This is very funny to me.  Grenada or Greneda.  I think I'd prefer Grenada.  (I did have to check 3 times for spelling, myself, just now.)

You all may not find this funny.  If you don't, you are more than welcome to spend more time with my 3-year-old, please.  I find it actually laugh-out-loud funny, myself.
