To All My Democratic/Liberal Friends: Please accept with no obligation, explicit or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. To My Republican/Non-PC/Independent Thinking Friends: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now, let the record show that I don't believe I have many Democratic/Liberal Friends.

Yay! Don Hanratty has posted chapters 49 through 53 to Belovèd. Chapter 49

The disposable or consumable amenities (shampoo, soap, coffee, etc.) are expected to be consumed. I have no qualms about taking them (though I never take the coffee because I have better taste than hotel's budget allows them). Anything that is permanent or that can be cleaned and reused is off limits. Taking them would be considered theft.

A single glass at night could mean a peaceful, uninterrupted night's sleep. NEW Wine for Seniors I kid you not... New Wine for Seniors California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night. The new wine will be marketed as PINOT MORE

I find your response very interesting, Yang. I doubt any southern university, including University of Texas, is particularly supportive of gays. Indeed, a friend who is a recent graduate of UofTX tells me of a very horrifying experience he had there which clearly indicates a lack of support or even an attempt to support gays by senior officials. Things may have changed since his graduation. Southern universities, other than those with religious affiliations, usually have gay student organizations, but I doubt many of them have made much headway in their efforts at acceptance. Your fraternity seems unusually liberal, although the atmosphere you describe strikes me as something akin to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. In any event, I wish you well. Oh, I suggest you give Tim Tebow a wide berth.
