Like many Lesbians, Kay and I love sports. Women's tennis is preferred over women's golf, however. Perhaps it's because golf is such a genteel game and both men and women play with the same sort of courtliness but the power of the men's drives is more dramatic to watch on TV.
Kay and I volunteer at the Women's Futures Tournament held annually here in Concord, New Hampshire. The women who compete are vying for a spot in the LPGA and the competition is pretty intense. It's fun and a chance to watch the "future" develop before your eyes.
Today is the Sunday after the Kentucky Derby - a race I adore. Yesterday's anticipation was like no other because of Eight Belles being a rare filly to race against such great odds. Naturally I was cheering her on and was amazed to see her cross the finish line in second place followed by the horror of seeing her down on the track with two front legs broken and learn she had to be immediately euthanized. Such a tragedy.
The Red Sox won last night's game; we're strong members of Red Sox Nation. Although basketball is not a favorite to watch, we're holding our breath for the Celtics to win this afternoon. If they lose, it will be a repeat of the Patriots' disastrous loss to the Giants in the SuperBowl.
To top off my Blog for the day, I need to issue a warning to all computer users who share their keyboards with other users at home or in the office. A message on the TV news this morning exclaimed that there is more E. Coli on a computer keyboard than on a toilet seat. Because Kay and I live, laugh and love together - as well as use the same keyboard and toilet seat, we feel pretty safe - but let this be a wake-up call to wipe down your keyboard with sanitizing wipes frequently.
These are the thoughts from our same-sex partnership in New Hampshire that we refer to as Sisters by Heart.
