To Lake Whitney
6 July 2006 15:35This past weekend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
jmaynard and I attended a wedding in or at least near Lake Whitney, TX.
( Prelude: Thursday & Friday )
Q: Are you going to Phar's wedding?
I was planning on it, assuming it was in the U.S. rather than in Australia. I'm not sure of all the details. I only just realized that it has been tentatively scheduled for July 1. I forgot about that when I suggested a time to jmaynard for a visit to Yellowstone. It's all far enough in the future for us that changes can be made. It's just annoying that I forgot about that bit of timing and potential conflict.
Yes, the post about the whole point of the trip. Also the post about about the high point of the trip. This is just one (or maybe two) person's perspective. As those reading bronxelf_ag001's account know, there was much going on and Jay and I couldn't see everything. In at least one case, that was probably just as well...
Short version.
29 July 2003 07:37Am back from NYC. Wedding and reception was good. Good to see elf again. Good to see elf happy. Good to get out of NYC. Am so very glad to be home.
A couple more detailed posts will appear in the next few days. You have been warned.
The Unexpected.

A few years ago I encountered the one and only bronxelf_ag001 and must have made a decent impression. Yesterday, to my surprise, I received an invitation to her wedding. Considering her "short list" is really short (single digits, it seems) I was rather boggled for a while. After all, I was someone she met under decidedly non-ideal conditions, for a few days on and off, a few years ago.
But she also made quite an impression. Those who have actually met Bronxelf and not just said hi & bye, know this is inevitable. An impression big enough to actually get me to consider going. Yes, to New York City. Yes, to the Bronx. Yes, for a wedding. Normally I tend to avoid weddings on principle of maintaining comfort... and my views on cities are fairly well known. That they are much like ionizing radiation: Can be useful in small doses, but prolonged or intense exposure is unhealthy.
Not that I expected to never set foot in NYC, but I expected it'd be something planned in a cooler season and probably to see michaelmink. And not the weekend after AnthroCon. Anyway, after a bit of checking this and that, I've decided to go. And hopefully jmaynard will be able as well to act as guide some of the time.
So, plane tickets have been purchased. A hotel room has been reserved. RSVP has been sent. And I am questioning my sanity.
