Live, right now, we’re getting married. Watch if you are interested. Alternate link for those who need it: http://www.livestream.com/abulsme/ We are of course running a bit late. We’ll start up the live stream as soon as we are ready… probably in the next 30 minutes or so. I’ll of course post here when the time comes.  For the first time in years. The ones I was wearing were actually two sets ago. The last set I lost in the ocean in Florida about six years ago after only having them about a year. So I reverted to my previous pair, which probably were of mid-90s vintage. and they were very very very scratched up at this point. So all I can say now is, oh my gosh, I can SEE! While we were all driving in the car a few days ago, Amy pointed out just how long we’d been together as a family. Namely a pretty long time. And more specifically, now that I checked it out, at the moment this post goes live, it will have been exactly seven years since I made a post publicly mentioning that Brandy and I were a couple. Now, we’d been “dating” for probably at least a month before that, maybe more, and we’d known each other for well over a year at that point, and it was still a while little longer until Brandy and Amy actually moved in, but it seems like as good a starting marker as any. So, seven years. During that time we’ve lived together at five addresses in three states as I worked for three different companies in a variety of different roles. We lost Brandy’s Dad. We also lost a few good pets that we loved dearly. We adopted Roscoe. Amy has grown from elementary school to high school and from a bubbly little kid to a wonderful almost-adult. Brandy has gone from being a Real Estate Agent to a Stay-at-Home-Mom to a College Student. And of course Alex was born and has grown into a sparkly eyed toddler and is doing exciting new things every day. We bonded into a family almost from the very start. As with any family there have been ups and downs, but overall it has been a very good seven years. Somehow, simultaneously, I can’t believe it has really been that long, and I can’t believe it was ever any other way. Thank you Brandy and Amy and Alex for these seven years. I love you all very much.  I am not running. Just walking the dog. But with an app that makes maps like the above (Nike+ GPS) I just can’t help wanting to go a little faster or farther each time! I mean, look how fun that map is! Those of you who are Facebook friends have probably seen the little updates the app makes after each time I walk the dog. :-) At some point though I may have to ditch the dog if I want to actually go much faster than our current strolls, as he keeps wanting to stop and do the things dogs do on strolls, and that slows me down! :-) Yeah, I know, I know. At this point he is coming up fast on 14 months, but I am just now posting the video covering his 11th month. That would be July 14th to August 13th to be specific. And yes, it is almost November. I just haven’t had much time, ya know? Anyway, late as it is, this is a good month, covering the time when Alex figured out how to walk. Fun stuff. For those you prefer it, here is the YouTube link. As of right now, 16 Sep 2010 at 07:39 UTC (12:39 AM Pacific, 3:39 AM Eastern) I am exactly 14244.4458 days old, which is also of course exactly 39 years. Ouch. Those are getting to be big numbers. :-) Calculation below:
