Yesterday at Perry's school...

We were in the performing arts center. There was a short performance/final for some of the kids taking music classes, as well as a very nice computer show of art work.

Perry was in world drumming this quarter -he loved it- so his class performed, which was pretty cool.

There was the 5/6th grade choir, and the flamenco class (a PE credit, but a few brave volunteers came to grace the Fine Arts department's event) danced, and a few of the various orchestras did short pieces. A nice school event.

There were some people next to me chatting with some people behind me. The conversation got a bit general and a few people who were not involved in the initial conversation joined in. Including me.

There was some confusion as to if R74 had passed, since last they'd checked, the Seattle Times still had it in the "too close to call" column.

Because it's their 19th anniversary in Dec and they'd like to get married then. Or the weekend after.

And I was able to tell them that the opponents had conceded it was going to pass, and that the Seattle Times had called it passed. Even if all the votes won't be counted for a while (we're at 76% now. Even Florida is doing better). One other women confirmed my information.

So they will be able to get married. As one said to the other, "For better, for worse, and you know all the worse by now."

And of the 8 people on that little group, 5 of whom didn't know the others more than by sight, from what I can tell, 7 of us were crying. Dh managed not to, but he took my hand and squeezed it, and smiled.
