Today's the midweek day off for me so I'm doing the usual of catching up on errands (laundry, playing with the cats) and writing stuff (daily words, working on Theadia). I'm also finally ripping some of the dvds that we took from the library, including the somewhat ridiculous show The Tudors. (Totally something A would watch, not really my bag.)

Tomorrow we're going out to dinner for our wedding anniversary! Like last year, we're heading down the street to Violet's for dinner and cocktails. Nothing too exciting, as neither of us are the kind of people who make a big thing out of anniversaries and things like that. And of course we both have to stop and do the math, but it's an easy year to remember because it's the same year we moved here! Heh. Nineteen years! Wooo!

As you may remember, doing a simple dinner is par for the course. After all, we'd gone straight to a local diner for brunch after visiting the JoP in Boonton town hall back in 2005, and spending the afternoon at a bookstore then watching a Fred Astaire musical. Very on brand for us. We don't have any other plans at all other than the usual weekend relaxation.

In which, ten years ago, I flew on a commercial airline for the first time. Why I waited until I was 34 to do so, I'm not sure...I guess I didn't have much reason to before then. It was also the first time I'd left the continental US (not including a brief sojourn into Canada as a youth when my family drove around the top of Lake Champlain). That time it was off to Scotland for Worldcon.

I've flown many times since then...out here to California to look for apartments and then move in, back east to visit friends and family, both up and down the west coast to Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, twice to Heathrow to visit London, and once to Paris. Oh, and once down to Arizona for a wedding!

After ten years, I have to say I love flying. I'm not the biggest fan of the occasional lack of leg room, I can get twitchy, and I've had great luck (Virgin) and not so great luck (Canadian Air), but once I'm up there and flying, I quite enjoy it. Still say the best flight was up to Seattle, in which I got a window seat and managed to see at least a dozen different well known natural points of interest along the way.

She just bought me this for our 5th wedding anniversary:



It's a Dean Model EAB acoustic bass, the same one I was eyeing at this store up on Clement Street.

Of course, I did order something shiny and purty (and expensive!) for her from Wyrding Studios. :)


Loves ya, sweetie!! :D

Forgot to post this yesterday...

It's been fifty years since the landmark court decision that this was not obscene.
