Still SOOO Much to Do!

Plans for the trip are coming along nicely. Bills are paid. Prescriptions are filled. Bags are (semi) packed. House sitters are arranged. Guest-bloggers are invited. Sarah leaves tomorrow for the drive up with the Grandparents, so Lindi and I will make the flight to Seattle and the drive to Vancouver on our own.

I am nervous, but very excited. This is the first major trip I have taken since 1997 when I traveled to Boston, Seattle and LA after winning that radio contest. My health has fluctuated since then and I am concerned, but certainly not enough to worry too much about it. I have medication, and if all I do is relax on the ship – so be it. There’s nothing that says I have to go into any port.

Besides, I am looking at this as a belated honeymoon for Lindi and I. Yes, the child will be there, but we don’t mind.

I am rather surprised at this very moment to be able to say Lindi and I have been married 10 months and been together as a couple for over 2 years. It seems this time has simply flown by. Don’t get me wrong, we have had our share of problems, but I still know in the back of my mind that Lindi is there for me and that the love we share isn’t found just anywhere.

I suppose most of you have heard the latest about the Lori Hacking case… if not, the Tribune has a good article on it. Makes me sick. Seriously.

Oh, and for those of you who doubted John Kerry’s bravery in the battlefield, (Geoffrey) here’s a copy of his Bronze Star Recommendation. I think it speaks for itself.
