Exciting things breathe across my back, and it is past time to record my doings. My stomach has been churning lately. I’m not ready to pack it in and run away, though. Give me a few weeks. Doolies left for Taiwan last Friday to finish the Taiwan wedding planning, and, because she would never miss an opportunity, she’s recording a few songs and interviews for the Dr. Julie Show. She left me home with too much time to think and worry and do all the things I probably shouldn’t do but end up doing anyway. These are excellent times for doodling. I’m still behind in posting as I have twenty or so doodles in the queue. Suffice to say, my doodles reflect last month’s feelings.

Over the next two months, I will travel to Sacramento, Boston, Taipei, and New York City. At the end of the trips, I will have a shiny new ring, my precious, my, I can’t believe I selected such a small size, how am I ever going to get this thing off? I have large knuckles with very thin fingers. Unlike the real One Ring, the ring Doolies purchased does not change size to fit my finger. It’s a pain to put on, but once on it fits snuggly. I already warned Doolies that I’m not much of a jewelry person. I guess putting on a ring I can’t take off may change that.

My bachelor party is this weekend. I fly to Sacramento tomorrow for a weekend of whitewater rafting and camping. I’m very much looking forward to being friends I haven’t seen in a long while. Steven has done a great job organizing the trip. I’ll take plenty of photographs and report back.

This is unlike me. I’ve typed barely three hundred words and I find myself at a loss. I have nothing outlandish or humorous or even consternated to write about. I guess taking the month off from writing has left me haggard. I will rip away the cobwebs once the wedding months get into full swing.
