Weekend Wedding!  
Attended [livejournal.com profile] zencohen's wedding in Austin over the weekend. I didn't get to do much of the socializing I'd planned since we had to hastily rearrange our plans to take the dog with us since in-house sitting was no longer an option due to continuing a.c. woes. However, we did make it to the wedding and reception. It was a blast seeing old friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in 20 years. (Don't mind me, that's me crying over my lost youth in the corner.) Catching up with friends, hearing about their kids, what they're up to...it was all good. It was also good to see how happy [livejournal.com profile] zencohen was. I hadn't met his bride previously but she's obviously good people if she has his seal of approval and makes him that happy.

It was wonderful to see a bit of Austin, too. I haven't been there in ages and I'd managed to forget how much I love the town. I have to remember to make road trips more often.

While cooling my heels in the hotel, I started reading Harry Potter. I'm now finished with Book 4 and trying to decide if I want to be spoiled as to who is going to die in the remaining books because I'm a wimp. :|

Okay, that explains why she looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place her. She's someone I had met a few times, but didn't know very well.

There were several people there that I knew. Ben was definitely one of the ones I was disappointed not to see. I never knew Asya very well, but it would have certainly been interesting to see her. It's always nice to see Andy, but I'll hopefully see him in New York again. I think I saw Brian Donnell in the photos, and I haven't seen him in over a decade. It would have been fun to see Randy, too. Seeing Guppy and Kellie would have been at least interesting, if nothing else. :) And, of course, I was looking forward to seeing you. :(

Ah, well. I had this funny feeling at one point this weekend that I wasn't SUPPOSED to make it to that wedding. Who knows.

You did see Brian, though his last name has changed; he and his wife chose a new family name when they got married. I know that Guppy has given some folks reason to dislike him but he has never been anything other than reasonably polite to me. I may be the only female he hasn't ever hit on, which I perversely find both annoying and gratifying. I think, though, they always assumed I bore them some sort of ill-will given that Bob and Guppy had issues. *shrug* I don't agree with them politically on much of anything, I'll admit, but I still consider them friends. Don't have a clue what they think about me, mind you, but I've always liked them in a perverse way. I do understand why others don't find them as tolerable.

Ben was always someone I knew tangentially; we shared a lot of friends but we never had a lot of discussions. My loss, I know. I am bummed about not better cornering Randy. Another person's whose politics disagree with mine but I've always liked him - he really is an ideal bridge teacher - and I really wanted to hear about teaching in the UAE during and after 9/11.

I'm sorry that you weren't there to see Matt married. I was ecstatic to see how happy he looked. I can't think of a better wish for my friends than happiness, love, and contentment and I can think of few people more deserving of it.
