(Community Matters) Given him a break. Aside from the governance succession, sounds like a family matter. And, since when has fidelity EVER been a requirement to hold elected office. Seems to me something changes in the brains of the men & women we elect to office, place on a pedestal day after day & take away from their families 16/7, sometimes 24/7. I’ve witnessed the vulnerability that occurs when they saturate the media and live in the world where your place in a line says how important you are – they’ve got to have an intimate at their side. We’re as much to blame as they are (for this vulnerability, not their actions nor their hypocrisy).

Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
