I lead a surreal existence, y'know? As of about 2pm today, I am in Santa Rosa, CA. I spent Sun-Tue driving from Missouri to here. This means that, in slightly less than a week, I traversed almost the entire continent by car. So now I am using Naomi Bisagno's family's computer to post to my blog. In only a few days, she will be Naomi Pride. I'm not sure what I think of the whole thing. That is, I think it's very cool, but I haven't quite got a handle on what it will mean. All right, you say, duh, you will have a new sister-in-law. Your brother will be married. Yes. But these things have never happened before. This is new. :)

The road trip was draining, but much more entertaining than it could have been. My brother and sister and I caravanned (sp? Is that a word?) with one of my friends from PHC, Will Glaser, until he split off in the middle of Salt Lake City and headed on up to Oregon. So it wasn't just driving, driving, driving. Well, it was. But we got to consult throughout the trip, and I managed not to lose my temper with my siblings.

Well, I'm tired right now, and it's time for dinner. I might post more later, but I haven't settled into this new social setting yet. I'm still watchful, trying to figure it out...  ¶ 6:09 PM
