Maybe because I was a single mom for so many years, I'd see kids who had nicer clothes, better summer vacations. Those kids had fathers, mine didn't. From the moment the Beach Boys sing "God Only Knows" and Bill Barb Margene and Nicki - a spiritual glow in their eyes from years of living "the principle" - sit at a dinner table on top of the world, literally.

I Love Big Love!

Sometimes it almost feels like the whole economy, the whole society, everything would balance out better,

If only men who could afford it, could have more wives. Raise the children.

Better living through polygamy.

Dads like Bill would send all their kids to college.

Although I must admit the married moms, when I'd start to express interest in marrying their husbands, somehow did not want to remain friends with me. I should o' moved to Utah...

HBO gave a fourth season pickup to Big Love, they announced it yesterday. Big Love is the unusual family drama from Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.

And I stop and gaze whenever I see this billboard around L.A.
