Going to the Chapel and
No, I'm not getting married. My friends are.
I started to rant about still not having a computer at home. But it was boring. Even to me. And when one's own rant bores oneself, it is probably wisest to not subject others to said rant.
So, I'll turn more personal. My favorite couple in the whole wide world, Mr. PHB and Miss SEWF are gettin' hitched tomorrow. I'm attending the reception (What up, My Pittsburgh readers! I'll be in town, available for autographs, press photos, and the like August 31!) By the way, that 's' on the end of 'readers' was the most hopeful, most dillusional 's' I've ever written. See, this is exactly why I changed the title of my blog to "But I Digress." Because I do. I just did, as a matter of fact. But I'm bringin' it back 'round, folks.
Okay. So, I'm going to PHB and SEWF's wedding party soon. I have to say these two form the best couple I know under the age of 75. Legend has it I introduced the two, but SEWF and I recently couldn't quite remember how or when that happened...Anyway, I'm sure the two have had fights and such as all couples do, but all of my memories of the two together/talking about each other involve lots of smiling and (given that a laugh weighs about 1 gram), tons of laughter. I mean, the abs on these two must be outstanding...
So, while I'm still single, I'm beginning to realize that martyrdom is not necessary to a meaningful relationship--in fact, I don't think anyone has to suffer deeply at all! It's crazy, I know, but I think you can be intimate and trusting and close and devoted without suffering deeply!! This is all new, and it will take some time to digest, I'm sure...but wow--revolutionary, indeed.

Yea! The best relationships I have had were based on how much joy we could give each other, not how much suffering we could bear. When the balance goes from one to the other, I know it's the beginning of the end. It makes for a very clear way of knowing that, which has always been a blind spot of mine.
Have a great time in Pittsburgh! I which it were closer to NYC, say Philly, but oh well.

yeah, I never sought out masachists, i tended to elicit that side of them...same thing with my career and what i studied for many years; anthro and poli sci were just *too easy*--which surely means they're not worthy of my time/not worth as much as ECON which sapped away two years of my life...
yes. i have a subscription for all of my issues...
oh, and i'm sure I'll hit NYC again sometime soon--I'll be sure to hook it up with the tractor.
