March 2009 | On Sunday March 8, 2009 we received news from Mexico that Alberto's nephew, Fernando, (perhaps accidently)shot and killed his current girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself. He leaves behind a wife, ex-wife and four children under the age of 7 years old. Fernando was 25 years old.  more here

February 2009 | It looks like the Supreme Court of California is leaning toward upholding Proposition 8, effectively ending for now, same sex marriage in that state, by removing civil rights protection of a "suspect class" or a class of people historically discriminated against.
