Hey kids
As promised, here's another post, talking about actual events that actually occurred. To me.
So over the first weekend of June, I visited my mother state of Maryland. I hadn't been there in more or less forever, and it was great to see every one. It was a very matriarchal weekend - I saw my grandmothers, and that was cool. It was fantastic to see my parents and Joe doing really well in a thousand respects. My grandmother, Bubbles, isn't doing so hot, though. Medical science is doing what it can, I guess. I'm worried about her though. My parents are having her over to watch TiVo while she's recovering, though, so that's good. It was a happy family time, and that was badass.
Then like a couple days back in Seattle, and Mr. and Mrs. Kaplan came to visit Alece and I and bring us on a road trip to California. Not the California we're coming to know and admire - Frisco, that is - but the wilderness of Redwood National Park. We hiked and talked and drove and hacked and drank and fished, and it was great. Really very calming and beautiful. We hit Portland, Crater Lake, and Tacoma on the way there and back, and when we came back to Seattle, it was the Fremont Fair. Which was awesome.
So to tell you the truth, I'm exhausted. Of fun, that is. I've had so much fun, it's coming out of my ears, and so Alece and I are working all weekend. Sort of - the kind of work where you're doing it while you update your livejournal. Even this is really work when Alece is conducting a '90s power hour' to get herself through a paper.
But hey, I wanted to post to say I've had a blast - thanks for all the quality time, everyone I vacationed with - and that we're good. Not too much going on otherwise - work rocks, D&D on Tuesday, all that routine stuff that I usually mention 'rocking' here.

PS. Tomorrow we're going to the Seattle Pride Parade, cause we're gay for civil rights!
