Friends far and near

Today I got two special communications. One was the postcard above from Istanbul. It is from my Italian friend Cris (who occasionally comments here and for whom I list the temperatures in Celsius) and her Turkish-born husband Idris. Someday I hope to visit Instanbul and maybe I can see them there. Or in Italy.

The other message was an invitation to a wedding in Iowa in November. This is the first same-sex wedding invitation I have ever received. Tom says it will be his first same-sex civil wedding -- he has been to religious same-sex wedding ceremonies before. So that will be a new experience, too.

You just never know what to expect when you get up in the morning.

It would be great to meet you in Istanbul or Italy!
