dad’s writeup
This is Dad’s writeup of Deirdre’s wedding. Since I haven’t gotten anything written yet, I thought I’d just post what he had to say. :) “I” in this posting (after this paragraph, anyway) refers to my father. :) As one of our friends said, it was the nicest Hindu-Moslem-Buddhist-Jewish ceremony she had ever been to.

It was a very…
working towards ideals
Once more, I didn’t wake up weighing 145 pounds, but I *did* get up at 6:07 and stagger my way to the gym.

an ideal world
I think in an ideal world, I would go to bed at 11pm and get up at 5. Spend an hour drawing. Go to the gym/pool for an hour or two, return home and work until 4:30, then go biking for a couple of hours before either reading or writing until 11pm. Of course, I would weigh 145 pounds in an ideal world, too. :)
