I'm taking all of next week off of work. If I scrutinized our financial situation, I might change my mind, so I'm not going to look too closely. Every other time I've taken a vacation, I've travelled out of the state or country and arrived home more worn out than when I started (and, needless to say, much more impoverished).

Jen's dad has a Texas handshake.

We're forming a union this weekend. I am most pleased. The next time I update this page, I will be wearing a ring. ...and a few extra pounds because of the cake.

cds listened to while anticipating wedded bliss: Einsturzende Neubauten "Strategies Against Architecture II", Hoven Droven "More Happy Moments...", and The Gathering "Strange Machines"

now: Pantaleimon "Trees Hold Time"
