The above is a quote from Tim Cahill, a traveler and author.
If it is true, then based on the friends that surrounded us this weekend while we celebrated our wedding, the journey here in Seattle has been wildly successful.
We can only hope that our next journey can replicate even a fraction of that success.
Thank you.
I forgot that I had turned off email notifications when there were comments waiting for moderation.
So, I did not realize I had a bunch of comments waiting to be approved before they showed up.
I just figured I was so boring and inane that nobody bothered to comment on my posts.
I will attempt to be more prompt in approving comments.
Thanks to all who have read and commented thus far.
Our lives have been “full” for some time now, between preparing for the move and preparing for the wedding, we haven’t had much time to stop and smell the roses.
We have both been rather focused.
Last night was the rehearsal for the wedding ceremony. It was Kaddee and I and the minister. We went through the outline of the ceremony. Who stood where and did what.
Then we stood in the front of the room and we each did our readings, and recited our vows.
It was a very emotional few moments which caught both of us a little by surprise.
It changed our focus away from the caterer, shuttle trips to the airport, music lists,
pub party planning, and the packing, storing and selling our of “stuff”.
Back to what is important. Us.
It was a much needed and much welcomed reminder.
As part of “the cleansing” for the cairo
relocation, I sold a spare laptop that was lying
around.
Yesterday, the old laptop that I had been nursing
along for the last year or 2 decided that it was
lonely and didn’t want to play anymore.
The video is getting worse and worse. It is currently
unusable. Lots of ghosts and then it totally loses
sync and you can’t read the screen and, it appears,
the entire laptop locks up.
I have stripped it to the bare chassis, blown out all
the dust and reseated all the connectors, but no joy.
Oh well, I guess I can live with out a laptop for a
couple of months. (Good lord: I have to GO DOWNSTAIRS
TO USE THE DESKTOP TO READ MY EMAIL. The humanity)
