hello again

well, we're back! as soon as i get the energy i am going to post all the trip pictures on flickr and i'll let you know when they're there.

we had a lovely time, the wedding went off just fine, everyone seems to be happy, phoenix is pretty, prescott is wonderfully old-fashioned, jerome is perched, sedona is snotty but beautiful, the ruins are thought-provoking. every day was packed with things to do and good food was available at every stop.

the ONLY down-side to the whole trip was the ordeal of flying: the lines at the ticket counter, the lines at the security check-in, the ridiculous strip-down that we have to go through because of those dvmbfvck middle eastern terrorists, the waiting, the flagrant abusers who get in the boarding line first rather than politely waiting until their 'zone' number is called, the gutless ticket agents who let the flagrant abusers get by with it, the packed-in-like-sardines seating, and the masses of it's-all-about-me humanity (most usually the people with kids in tow). i mean, puh-leeze. it's just so dispiriting. gentility and breeding seem to be absent in the common people.

well, wait. the motel room and continental breakfast were absolutely terrible, too.

regardless, we're home now and will be seeing waylin in may when they drive over after going to heather's wedding.

in other wonderful news My Younger Son is planning on coming home on may 19. details as they become available.
