All the cool kids are doing it

Remember when you were a kid and your parents used to ask you (inane) rhetorical questions like "If everyone else were jumping off of a cliff, would you too"? Ugh. I hated that. As my (and presumably your) parents assumed is that the jump off of said cliff was in no way controlled, or how high the cliff was, or what you were landing on etc. Anyway, so what are all the cool kids doing now? Apparently blogging and getting married. So, now I am too. Cliff metaphor? Way too apt.

OK, let me say that my fiance is a wonderful woman whom I love very much. And guess what? I've jumped off of cliffs before (always into a lake or river), because everyone else was doing it, and I lived. In fact, I enjoyed the fall. Landing, not so much.

So what's my point? I'm getting married. Date: unknown. Venue: unknown. # of guests: unknown (hopefully not more than 150...). Food/beverage: unknown. I stepped off of the cliff about a month ago, not knowing how far I would go into the abyss, and only hoping that the landing (i.e. the wedding) doesn't hurt too much. If there is one thing that I remember from cliff jumping, it's that as long as you do it right, it doesn't hurt. Do a belly flop from 50 ft up? Doesn't feel good. I'm hoping the wedding is a graceful swan dive. You're invited to come along for the fall and, if I don't get too lazy and quit on this blog thingy, the landing. Oh yeah, and there'll be plenty of other diversions along way. Because I have a short attention span and this is still shiny. OK, not literally, but you know what I mean.
