It’s been a while since I posted, thereby letting down the legions who read this blog. As Thomas Jefferson said in an entirely different context, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I should declare the causes which impelled me to put aside my keyboard. I have of late been occupied with the premath (new word, and hereby copyrighted) and aftermath of the nuptials of my only begotten younger son (my only begotten older son being in attendance as well).
The happy couple wrote their own wedding vows and chose the accompanying readings. I never thought I’d be proud to say that my son chose the words of a Republican for his wedding ceremony, but the world is a strange place. At the last minute they chose to read a portion of Kennedy’s gay rights decision, which has an eloquent paean to marriage. It was spot on, and a big hit.
The nuptials took place in our back yard, so we were pretty busy, both before and after the big event, but things have slowly returned to normal, and I am now in a position to inflict my views on the world, unencumbered by other responsibilities.
