CAMBRIDGE (#61)
I am excited to read your postings and to finally (I hope!) have subscribed to your newsletter. This has been an extraordinary week throughout Massachusetts, but certainly in Cambridge. It's as if the whole city is aglow. There are flowers and balloons and signs of celebration on a grand scale as the first gay and lesbian couples are married. We were not among the hundreds of people at the courthouse when the clock struck midnight and forms for marriage licenses were distributed (how was it that we did stay up for the last Harry Potter book but missed this? was it just that the book was released on a Sat and history changed on a Sunday night?!). For the first time in years, it seems, I was eager to listen to and read the news. I kept crying -- when is the last time that happiness was so palpable?

This was a nice touch: a little local news to anchor our family experience in a broader context... Shari was so thoughtful.
