Vacation?
My brother Phil came home on leave from Iraq on the 14th of this month. Since then, I've had little or no time to do much of anything, other than run around from one little party or get together to the next. I guess I could consider it a vacation, but defining it as a break doesn't keep it from being exhausting.
I had thought that most of this sound and fury was focused on Phil. After all, everyone we've been hanging out with has my number and could call me and hang out anytime, and they do, from time to time. But, the one time I decided not to follow in his wake, I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I was a jerk face for not showing up. Even so, I didn't go with him to visit with our sister tonight, partly because it's a long drive I don't want to make, but mostly because I've got some prewedding chores to get done.
My niece is getting married on Saturday, and once again, I'm the one who will perform the ceremony. This is the second time I've done this:
"And now, through the power vested in me by the World Wide Web..."
In other news, I've got 40 plus websites that pay for writing in one way or another. I'll post entries about the sites and my experiences as they happen, but that won't start up again until Brother Phil is away, after the end of this month.
For now, I've lines to memorize, so I'm off to do that.
