Slip Sliding Away

This weekend was the wedding of Emily and Mat. For us, it's the second wedding in about a month's time. 'Tis the Season for unions.

It was held in Cambridge, Maryland, which is a little town that sits on the edge of the Choptank river, near the Chesapeake Bay.

It rained. A lot. Really. I spent a good part of each day with wet clothes on.

Looking back, however, I wouldn't have had it any other way. It just wouldn't have been the same if it had been sunny and beautiful. In spite of, no because of the rain and wet and mud, it was fun as hell. Kind of like the first Lollapalooza tour or Woodstock. Memorable, bonding, communal, completely unique, impossible to duplicate, though some may try.

The highlight for me was meeting lots of new people - long-time friends of E&M. Good friends of good friends usually get along pretty well together and this was no exception.

Photos were taken. Drinks were consumed. It might be said that I danced.

To top it all off we came home and watched the Broncos whoop up on the Skins. Go Tatum Bell! I'll have to be careful not to wear my Broncos cap around town for at least a week or two.

Great to meet you, too! Hopefully some other event or party (or both) will bring our paths together soon.

P - didn't know about Bell and DeSoto. All I know is that the Broncos seem to have a gift for picking great running backs. As soon as one leaves, another one steps up.

But life has brought us to the Garden State and, I've got to say, aside from the constant ache I feel in my ass from being repeatedly violated by our township on our property taxes every three months, it ain't all that bad up here. Still, there has been something missing from our lives. Something that used to bring us great joy and that we really took for granted for so long ...

When I finally made it downstairs, shaking and about ten pounds lighter than I was the night before, the first of my neighbors began showing up with their July 4th game faces on, all full of energy and wondering what the hell kind of party this was where everybody was chewing Rolaids and talking about hairs on dogs and squinting at each other from behind sunglasses under drizzly skies.

I'm back home. In DC. We flew in last night. And even though I truly loved seeing friends and family in Dallas, I am very relieved to be back on the east coast again. I feel grounded. I woke to the familiar sounds of car horns and sirens this morning, which kind of gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. And I'm ready to re-train my legs on how to do this thing called walking.
