I read that some gay/lesbian leaders are calling Obama’s action to provide benefits for same sex federal employees “too little too late.” Oh, give me a break. Women and Blacks and Asians and Hispanics and immigrants and refugees have been dealing with discrimination here in the U.S. for centuries, and they have not complained that bits of legislation or laws or rulings or whatever were EVER “too little too late.” Rather they are steps in the right direction, even if they are baby steps. Get a grip.
About Jenny Mummert
This blog was originally titled "Drifting Toward Planet Elderly," and it shared a journey I had with my elderly parents as they both went through their later years battling the complexities of dementia. After both passed on, I changed the title to "Living on Planet Elderly." I am a retiree who is reluctantly adjusting to the reality that she is now elderly. In July of 2021, I relocated to Middleton WI after living in Columbia MO for over 40 years. I decided that I want to experience a new and vibrant location in a cooler climate with lakes...a bucket list item of mine. I have a first cousin who lives in Madison. We have nice childhood memories, and I thought it would be wonderful to spend some time together as elders. It was. AND THEN....in March 2023, I returned to Columbia. I had a wonderful time experiencing the Madison area of Wisconsin, spending time with my cousin, and making some wonderful friends. No regrets.
