You'll hear plenty of rhetoric in coming days, some of it outright hateful, but anytime more Americans are treated equally is a good day in my opinion. It is not the government's role to dictate which consenting adults can be married. A government which can do that is way too powerful. It will still take two or three more generations before most people care less about who marries who, what consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, etc., but today is a huge step in that direction. As Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote: "The law places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects, and whose relationship the state has sought to dignify.”

Well, well, well.

The Heat win the NBA title. They really got a gift from the refs in game six though with two missed calls down late in the fourth quarter. Also, the no call on the foul at the end of overtime.

The San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat will square off in Game 7 tonight for the NBA championship. I'm not the biggest NBA fan and after watching Game 6 Tuesday night from start to finish, I was reminded as to why.

The Spurs were clearly jobbed down the stretch. Two critical missed calls helped the Heat earn the win. I have no tie to the Spurs at all. Yet, it was maddening to see how the officials played such an outcome in this game.

For reasons I will never truly understand, it is very difficult to win on the road in the NBA playoffs. The Spurs clearly played well enough to win the contest. However, after seeing it taken from them — literally — in Game 6 in Miami, I just don't see how they possibly will win Game 7.

Part of me thinks it won't even be worth watching. The Heat will win by 20 and they should let the game officials from Game 6 share in the celebration.

I think I may finally have a grasp on how to contribute to my blog. Opinions on sports, politics, movies, classic TV and 1980s culture will appear soon.

Hey. This is my first blog post!
