The Best Way Back!

Hey, I have to say that I gave no notice to my friends who post some wonderful content up here and hence I'm glad some stuff made it up while I was away at Kim's sister Heather's wedding this weekend. Meanwhile we all returned home yesterday and mixed football with napping and general laziness. Good times were had by all. The wedding was great, but as weddings can, the experience was very all-consuming. Hence, there was no blogination for a few days now.

To pull back the curtain a bit on my blogging techniques, when I get super-busy I still find moments here and there to look for stuff to blog about. If I can't get to posting, I'll write myself an email with links to whatever content I had in mind to toss up. Today I'll post a bunch of stuff that hopefully isn't too horribly dated at this point, but I'll also mix in some amazing new news of the day. How's that?

Meanwhile, how about the whole picture of where things stand today, huh? 8 days out from the election it looks like Obama is holding onto double-digit leads in national polls. Down in Philadelphia the Phillies are up 3 games to 1 on the Rays in the World Series, with a chance to finish it off tonight in Philly! (that would be absolutely HUGE for the city of Brotherly love... don't believe it? Check out the "Clock of Fan Desperation" that counts down how long it's been since the last national championship won in Philadelphia.) Also, how about the whole thing with Jennifer Hudson? That's just horrifically sad. I can't imagine what it must feel like. Oh, and um... yeah, how about that stock market, huh?

Ok... seriously now, I'm so happy to be back blogging away. I had a great weekend and I hope you did too! Congratulations to Heather and Doug and my friend Shaun and his lovely new bride Jen who also got married on Saturday!

Fun Fun Superfun

I had a great weekend. I went to a wedding in Long Island that was outstanding in a handful of ways:

1. I am pretty sure I've never been to Long Island before... except maybe for a college info session for SCAD, I think, back when I was living in NYC and thinking of going back to school for graphic design (about 6 yrs ago).
2. I have never danced so much at a wedding... I'm talking had to take my suit coat off in the first 15 minutes, legs tired the next day, sweating like a crazy person, legit reason to loosen the tie and undo the top button of the dress shirt style dancing. Damn. Craziness. Seriously, I don't usually dance.
   
3. Great company
4. Oh! and bonus, the vegetarian food was legitimately good! Mmm... veggie lasagna with a healthy portion of cheese baked in. Yum.
   

So wedding gushing aside, I came back and dove into my week happily working away, and this noon I spent a lunchtime moment floating over to my friend Liz's blog where she posts some info about her art, life, books, etc. Recently she's posted videos that represent a shift away from some of the installation/wall art she's been doing for the last year or more into a new direction. She's got four videos up now... and the latest, which shows raindrops on a window at night, is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I recommend checking them out. They're quiet and fun and, to me, very Zen.

So, if you're feeling blue 'cause it's Monday, fear not! It's getting beautiful again outside (after all the storminess of the last week), I've got some Zen stuff to calm you down, and life is good.

Cheers!
