Tick… tick… tick… tick…

T minus three days until I’m in Ohio! I’m really looking forward to being with Russet again. She’s been taking a bit of an emotional beating and my being there will help a lot.


Her dad has been exhibiting new impairments, so they did CT scans and confirmed that the cancer is now attacking his brain. He’s doing cortical steroids and will be doing a series of three or four radiation treatments starting today. He’s still kicking butt at Scrabble, but Russ beat him last night. It was a good fight, and then her sister beat up on her for not throwing the game. There ain’t no pleasin’ some people.

I am exceedingly glad that we're doing this now, I'm going to have so little time with him, but this is the only timing that worked without totally screwing my schooling and mauling my new job.


My best man came over last night to pick up something while I was going over the ceremony script and the vows, so I showed them to her. It was nice listening to her sniffle throughout. They’re really good, and I’m quite pleased. Russet met with the minister Monday and the result is great. And she used elements of what I’d written, so I was happy with that.


Suns lost! Bastards. They’ve always had the problem of rarely being able to thoroughly put away an opponent. Sigh. But man, the final two periods of the last game of the previous series! THAT’S the Suns that I remember from the days of KJ, Tom Chambers, Dan Majerle, and one of my fav point guards who name eludes me for the moment (bonus points to who can identify the Python sketch from which the last part of that phrase comes from), he was traded to Utah when Barkley came to town. I know I’ll remember it as soon as I post this.


Got my Bling!Fest auction winning from Mania/Deborak, the most interesting item being a copy of the grammer nazi handbook, Eats Shoots and Leaves. Quite good! Michelle raided my place last night whilst I was getting a haircut, she frequently does that on Tuesdays, her choir is going to San Antonio (hotel on The Riverwalk!) and they meet on Tuesday night four blocks away. She quite enjoyed it, so she’ll probably be the first hand-off when I get home.

Yeah, the last few days before the "big one" are days where time seems to do funny stuff, at least it did to me. I think that's about par for the course...that and expecting Rod Serling to step out from behind a door at any minute, cigarette in hand, speaking his famous line, "Submitted for your approval....."

I'm glad to hear your future father-in-law is still hanging in there. I hope that y'all get some good time together. Quantity would be nice, but if that's not possible then quality is definitely the way to go.

At some point, if you're willing to share, I would be interested in knowing what vows y'all created for each other. If not, I completely understand.

As the next two days are likely to be insane on your end and busier than Hell on mine, I'll go ahead and wish you well now. If I get the chance later, cool, but if not, may it all go smoothly, may y'all be surrounded by love, and may your coming together bring both of you much joy and satisfaction for many, many years to come!

I'll raise a glass in a north-easterly direction on Saturday for yez both....

Thanks, it is appreciated!

I plan on posting the vows, and possibly the entire service, after the event. I should run it past Russet first, though.

Yeah, I'd say checking with her first would be a good idea. I hope she's okay with it, though, as I'd really like to get to see what y'all came up with.
