Thus Spake Mojave66: Hey, thank you for letting me into this wonderful group. I really love y’alls blogs. My apologies for the lateness– I’ve been scrambling at odd hours to try to get into San Francisco’s City Hall to marry my partner of 12 years. It’s been an amazing, profound experience– such an outpouring of love and support from damn near everybody in our city. Florists have been dropping off free roses, there are offers of discounted hotel rooms, people passing around food and honking and waving their support.

Baggage
When I arrived home, it was wonderful to see my apartment so neat and tidy. Then I brought home the package I’d gotten from my parents, and it got a little messy in the process of unpacking.

The Googlewhack is in Incheon But His Bags Aren’t
So they’re being delivered tomorrow or the next day. Ah well. Got my tanpura (Indian drone instrument) and flute and computer on me… but no change of clothes. Gonna hurry off for a bus so I can get home and get me a nice wash-up at the local public bath. Ah… and find out whether I actually lost 10 kilos or Ritu’s scale is off-balance.
