As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
For extra richness, during the bit about "the rule of law", CNN cut to their only shot of former President Bush during obama's speech.

I was cleaning up some of my files and came across this old meme that I had partially finished. Since I hate wasting things, I figures I'd put it up now. I have no idea when I started working on it.
Bold all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime.▪ Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it. If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).
( lots of shows )

This is just a brief note; I plan to get around to a more detailed write-up of the wedding later.
Over Thanksgiving, liritsvoice and I got a batch of photos from Alan Jenkins, the person who kindly volunteered to be the photographer for our wedding. We've gone through them, sorted out the ones we liked best, and put them up on Flickr. If you're on Facebook, you can also see the select few I put there. (And if you're not friends on Facebook, send me a request.)
I've also uploaded a couple of videos to YouTube. There's Becca coming (and singing) down the aisle and a video that a friend of ours, Marisa, put together. It includes photos of various things at the wedding and video of, among other things, our first dance and the garter toss.
