I'm OK with being a tiny little spot in the immensity of eternity because even a tiny little speck is part of the greater whole. And at the same time I am the center of the universe, because if the universe is infinite then it does extend outward from my perceptions. Everyone is the center of the universe as they see it.
That's what I believe, too.
I have no idea what to say in an e-mail other than to ask if they are available on our chosen date.
Maybe give them an idea of what you're expecting?
Zen, how did it go in Tennessee?
I don't think you have to say much in the initial e-mail, sj. You and TCG are planning to get married, where and when, are they available and how do you proceed with ironing out the details if they are. If you'll have witnesses with you or if you'll need someone. Once they answer, you'll have a better idea of how to proceed, I'm sure.
Sorry about the ongoing maintenance issues. I'm getting that you have a disability, omnis? Yeah, elevator would be pretty important!
Shir, sorry you're feeling that way. I don't know much about Judaism but Yom Kippur - at least the making amends for the past year part of it - has always seemed very cool to me. I was raised Catholic but I'm agnostic. I've suffered from some pretty major depression for most of my adult life. Only in the last couple years have I tried harder to slog things out. And part of that has come from being wowed by the natural world (as viewed in microcosm in my garden). So even if you're not feeling in touch with a great supernatural being, this world alone - not to mention the entire universe - is pretty chock full of things to be in awe of.
But, yeah, sometimes it gets hard to see that because there are so many stupid human tricks in the way of it.
yup, I get around on crutches.
like Skee-Lo covering "Mr. Morton"

I don't give a FUCK who she says she is, I'm gonna wipe the floor with her ass."
This is a good thing to have YOUR lawyer say ... your opponent's, NSM.
Sounds like the Boggle tournament at Ari Gold's house.
Zen, how did it go in Tennessee?
Bah. I can't say no progress was made, but we still don't have a signed contract. The good ol' boy verbal agreement/handshake dealmaking suits me not at all. I don't understand what the holdup is - I know the guy wants to buy the place; the price is agreeable to all parties; and he's the VP of the local bank and owns like 600 acres, so don't tell me he can't get a dang loan.
Capital gains tax rules change as of next year, too, so we have strong financial incentive to get the place sold before year's end.
Also, we have a huge antique armoire that we have no room for and no idea what to do with.
