so, amidst all the deadline … crap … the pushing back and moving around, they pushed back, moved around, and then *cancelled* my plans to go to a pal’s wedding. I would have liked to have been there… to see all the folks I’ll not see again together. and to see Jim get married… argh. I have angst.

but. they got married last night (Friday night), then had a softball game for all of their friends today (Saturday – it’s after midnight)! what a good idea! they didn’t just get married, take stuff from everyone, and then high-tail it out of there. they stayed to fellowship with friends as they started their new life together. I like Jim and Jessie.

so, congrats, Jim. hope your life’s a good one, and hope I get to see you again sometime. prayers, a big hug, and a (slightly cheesy) Irish blessing:

may the road rise up to meet you
may the wind be always at your back
may the sun shine warm upon your face
may the rain fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again
may God hold you in the palm of His hand
