Done yesterday (20120219 Su)
Most of the day -- the afternoon and evening -- was spent at Jennifer and Moshe's Wedding I'm very glad we went, even though it was exhausting and loud and... Such a lot of happy energy! Great people-watching, too. I decided to sit with Colleen and some of the other old folks and watch the dancing rather than try to join it. Considering how exhausted I was when I flopped into bed, this was probably a good choice.
I seem to have become one of the "old folks" -- I'm clearly in the parents' generation now. My (younger) brother has grandkids. Gleep!
Given the noise level -- far too high for talking -- I spent pretty much the entire event, except for the actual ceremony, in a little personal bubble, not even trying to get into conversations. I seem to have gotten better at that, and I'm getting used to it as well. I do wish they'd mixed people up; we knew everyone at our table (the "filkers' table"), so I didn't get to meet anyone at dinner, and only two people at one of the receptions.
But, a good day. I'll take it.
0219 Su * up 7:40; W=191.0; drugs, nose, teeth, laundry, dishes, exercise, * 15min: puttering (office, LR cleanup) * dvdbackup looks like a good command-line tool. Rips all titles in a format suitable for burning later. arista might be simpler than dvdrip @ Arista Transcoder - About command is arista-gtk * 2:30 get ready to leave for wedding * 3:30pm Jennifer & Moshe wedding -- Marriott San Mateo. RSVP'ed Jennifer and Moshe | Our Wedding noisy; stand-up reception with only a handful of chairs. Decent food. Total of 6 other filkers; they put us all at the same table. Too loud for conversations. OTOH a lot of happy energy and good people-watching. Some of the kids were too cute for words. Glad we went. % totally exhausted at the end of the day. All that standing, probably. " Twice to overload, back and dead. " (Something like that, anyway)
