OK, I’m now well caffeinated, it’s a beautiful day outside, and life is good. Now I get to ramble some more.
On flames…
You know, it’s very rare that you’ll ever see me flame someone, on email or on Usenet. There’s a reason for that. I learned a long time ago that writing under the influence of anger only gets me into trouble – I take a few hours (or days) to calm down and reflect on how to reply, or if a reply is even warranted at all. That’s one reason why you rarely, if ever, will see me partaking in the more contentious discusssions in the flamepit. The only reason I mention this now is there’s something there that has really irritated me, but I’m going to think some before replying. Maybe someone with a cooler head will post a more suitable reply. Either way, I’m going to wait a bit.
On our social life…
The party last night was great fun. I’m still pretty bummed that I couldn’t enjoy any of the wine or champagne (for those coming in late – in November a blood test showed one of my liver enzymes was abnormally elevated. I’m off alcohol and Tylenol until my next blood test in mid-February). The food and the company was good, though. We took lots of pictures, and we’ll have those up on our website by the end of today. For other comments on the party, see the journal entry by Takaza. Yep, he’s got his LiveJournal up and running now to. The virus spreads…
On Leftovers…
We still haven’t gotten out thank-you notes for the gifts we received at our commitment ceremony. We suck, I know. We’ve got the list, we’ve got the cards, it’s just a matter of putting them together and taking the time to sit down and write them. Miss Manners says we have three months, but I hope we don’t push that.
In possibly brighter news, we got an email from Jonathan, our photographer, that the pictures from the commitment ceremony should be arriving soon. Of course, that was nine days ago – still no pictures. This is really annoying. We hope to have pictures in hand when we come to Chicago next week, but we’ll see what happens. I suppose if nothing else we can hunt him down in Berwyn…
And finally…
