Erin! (now with extra exclamation)

Your new haircut sounds gorgeous.

A couple had sex in one of the two restrooms for so long that it created a noticeable backup in the potty line.

I've been in 7 weddings (one of these days it'll be mine) thus far and I've attended one that unfolded like that. The closest I've come is being followed by a grooms drunken aunt who tried to molest me on the dance floor.

yick... just yick

ha. We were at the Summer of Love Concert in SF. While there were outfits that had to be seen to be believed - I think the behavior was more decorous than at that wedding. I did find out that certain kinds of smoke in my face is way worse than the usual form of smoke . Instant asthma. Something I haven't done in along time and now, I guess I never will again.

The main thing to remember though is: Manteca is Satan's Bunghole. Hot and desolate and the only reason to go there is to play on Little League replicas of major league fields.

According to my tv, it is also the place to buy an RV.

I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where somebody didn't have sex. At my wedding it was my ex boyfriend with my sister's best friend.

eta: oh that was upstairs. The new step-brother-in-law and his future wife were going at it downstairs possibly simultaneously.

:( I never got sex at a wedding... Course most of the ones of recent were Lesbian ceremonies.... go figure why I didn't

Yeah, suddenly I'm feeling kind of gypped.

anyone care for a shag then? To make up for all those unshagged weddings we attended?

Back from our weekend on the Olympic Peninsula. The caboose B&B was comfy and whimsical, with lavish breakfasts. We spent yesterday driving about halfway around Olympic National Park, including a visit to the Hoh Rain Forest and the actual Pacific coast (with crashing surf!), not merely Puget Sound or the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The weather was gorgeous, upper 60's and low 70's and more or less sunny.

On the ferry back today, I realized I was turning into one of Those Seattle People. There I was at a window with the Olympics on my left, the Cascades in the distance to my right, the Sound before me with two other ferries and an assortment of sailboats sharing the water, and all I could think was that there just COULDN'T be a better place. I really, really hope we can find a way to stay in the Northwest for keeps. We've occasionally discussed the possible advisability of moving closer to our families, both for financial and family reasons...but after this weekend I don't want to. I want to stay here with the mountains and the rocky coast and the cool deep greens of the forests and the ocean and the islands.

It took me awhile, but I love it here.

ugg. Someone at the local broadcast station flipped something, and now the sound on the Telethon is nasty here in LA. Grrr. I hate bad sound.
