Up in circles

A week+ in, and married life is feeling quite fine. Maybe the landscape has yet to come into focus, but so far a honeymoon seems mostly a state of mind. Which maybe means it always can. Meanwhile, the bulk of photographic evidence is still off in the selection stage, so audio memory cues will have to come first. Here's what we used to get our Jew on, the soundtrack for risking our lives aloft in chairs raised by well-irrigated men in a frantic, totally uncoordinated mess of a circle dance. Part of a wedding's joy is the thrill of survival.

Getting Hutched

Well, I'm getting married on Saturday. The bigness of it is in many ways something I can't even get my head around. And as I've been warned, not so easy to physically process either. Whenever my plane is about to takeoff, I feel a distinct shakeup in my body chemistry. This is that multiplied a bunch of times. Which actually feels better than it sounds.

But as with so many things, a song says it better. So here's how we're going to introduce ourselves to the world (and hopefully not trip over each other). The honeymoon will wait a few months, but I'm hereby taking a weeklong vacation from the 'blague. See you back on Monday 6/11.
