Canada
Well, I'm off to Canada for four days, to see a friend of mine get married.I have this group of friends that I used to sing with in college. They are all slowly getting married. Of the guys I sang with, this will be the third wedding. I always wondered if it would bother me, seeing as how I haven't seen fit to hitch up yet, but it hasn't.
Then when I come back, I have another long stretch of time where I'll have no traveling. With autumn starting, it's the time to start some new projects or new life phases. I'll be starting a couple of new classes, which will fill up some time, even though I don't feel that either are completely aligned with my intent. And maybe I'll finally find a house I want to live in. We shall see. Once I get that piano, there's a lot of things I could do.
For all the talk I've done on politics, there isn't a candidate that I am really dead set on. I think Dean is probably the best guy (and actually a hell of a lot better than in past years), but still, ho hum. Even with a candidate as strong as him, there are so many false premises that you have to accept in order to be a legitimate candidate. And of course I'm always wondering if it's all a sham and that once Dean or whoever gets elected, they'll start supporting some of the same crappy programs that they profess to oppose.
I'm not as intrigued about Clark as I was. It'll be interesting to review the coverage of their performance at the debate tomorrow - I won't really be able to, however, until I get back on Sunday. Sunday, by the way, is also important because it's the season premiere of Alias and The Lyon's Den!
I caught The West Wing tonight and it felt off. I missed Sorkin. Not that I ever watched that show regularly, though.
Well, off to finish packing... I'm taking off in four hours, and I hope to grab about three hours of sleep.
