Dear Livejournal, someone just posted on a 7 year old post I made about going to their wedding.  I'm amazed at just how long I've been using the internet.  For perspective, I think I've had my yahoo account since about 2002, Livejournal since 2004, Facebook since 2005, my gmail account since 2006 and I hopped on the twitter bandwagon back in 2007 ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, Bilbo has been something of a trial today with his gnashing and his leaping and his piddling but we persevere ever onwards and hope that time will cure all.  Rachel has left the heady world of academia and is celebrating by attending seminars on Augustine and various clergy education sessions so I'm happy to see that life has ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, Rachel has successfully graduated and now has the whole rest of her life with this guy to look forward to.  We are both up too early for one last breakfast with the in-laws before they tootle off to the United States.  As for us, we've got a fairly buys week ahead.  Rachel is attending a conference as clergy while I have inherited ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, tomorrow (Well later today, more precisely) will mark the end of my wife's 24 years of continuous education from kindergarten, through high school, undergrad, a masters program, a phd and seminary.  Tomorrow will mark the end of an era when Rachel would have school to look forward to.  There are no more grades on the horizon, no ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, what a hectic few days.  Rachel's ordination followed by a trip to Barrie and back to see her folks who have a time share up there and then tonight we had a great Monkeyman meeting.  Things are being set in motion for the next year and I'm getting really pumped for it all.  My theatrical dry spell may be much shorter than I ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, tomorrow is the big day when I will be married to a woman who's married to a Church.  I'm gonna be some kind of liturgical piece on the side but I'm willing to take that spot.  My folks arrived and have taken us out for some delicious meals and treated Rachel to some exciting shopping.  Hopefully Rachel's parents have arrived at ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, I had a pleasant evening with CMS's own Mr. Gluhic.  We played two hands of Illiuminati: New World Order and discussed much over cheap sherry and some left over pie ingredients Rachel left behind.  Tomorrow I return to the wondrous world of work followed by some Star Wars gaming.  By then, my wife should have hopefully returned ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, Rachel has been bundled off to a convent for the next two nights so it's just me and the puppy.  Luckily, I have the whole day off tomorrow to clean up in preparation for parental arrivals this weekend and then we finally get to finish watching Dark Knight which David, Sam and I started last week.  As we ramp up for Rachel's ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, I spent an inordinate amount of time today watching Archer with Bilbo.  It is such an addictive show!  I mean, I think we can all agree that H. Jon Benjamin is a superhero who deserves all of our money but the rest of the cast is so amazing.  Tennessee's son Chris Parnell, Judy Greer and Jessica Walter from Arrested Development ( Read more... )

Dear Livejournal, fairly uneventful day.  Puppy classes were something of a trial as Bilbo was in a somewhat manic mood but he did not throw up in the car either on the way there or back so we're counting it a victory.

Take what you can get, Livejournal.  You're a good friend.

Yours truly, Leeman
