So it’s Saturday night here in California, and the topic for me is the best news of all, my upcoming wedding. We’re waist-deep in preparations for what is going to be a moderately small (120-person) wedding; but we’re getting to use a very cool venue – I can’t say more without risking the pseud, sadly – and we’re the first wedding that’s been held there. So everything is an issue. What can we do, given union rules, without needing staff for a full day? Exactly where can the chairs go, and will the fire marshall approve? And so on…we’ve almost got all the issues knocked down. <\/p>\n
And tonight, as I’m relaxing from a day of faxes and calls, while TG is away at a concert, I get to think about what we’re doing it all for. <\/p>\n
Because in a week, we will stand in front of our friends and family, and united as a community, TG and I will both get to share the joy we find in each other and take public responsibility for each other and our relationship.<\/p>\n
But it’s not the responsibility, but the joy that I want to talk about; it’s the amplification of joy that takes place when you stand in a circle of people who care about you – and who you care about – and they focus their attention on you and the joy that you’re feeling right then.<\/p>\n
And I’m anticipating that joy quite a bit.<\/p>\n
For the next week, I’ll be busy, and then for a while I’ll be gone.<\/p>\n
As I’ve said in the past, please try not to kill each other or blow anything up while I’m gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
