Last weekend there was a spontaneous march - well, if "spontaneous" can mean organized in less than a week - protesting the ridiculous Proposition 8 victory. Marilyn and I attended, along with our elder daughter and the lovely woman whom my mother comfortably calls that daughter's "buddy." The day was a fabulous spirit-raiser: a rally that spilled out onto San Francisco's main street, Market, then - without any permits or permission - proceeded to march through downtown, tying up traffic (most trapped motorists clapped and gave thumbs-up) and continued on for miles through Union Square, on to Chinatown, out to Fisherman's Wharf, down the Embarcadero, then back to Civic Center.

A great, great day.

One of the loveliest aspects of the day was the fact that since the march was so hastily organized, there were few mass-produced, cookie-cutter signs - thousands of people simply made their own. I've included some of the ones I enjoyed, plus some general shots from the rally and march, in a pile-o-photos, below. Enjoy.

And the news: Tomorrow Marilyn and I are off to Paris for ten days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. When we return, I'll immediately start my new job at The Register. And life will change.

For one thing, I won't need a portfolio website anymore, so Myslewski.com will get a makeover. When, I can't say, because - as you know - when starting a new job, free time tends to be at a premium. But it will happen.

Eventually.

Oh, and those photos I promised; here y'go - just click on any thumbnail for a larger image:
