Life, in general...

The past week (as of yesterday) has been... well... interesting. The current state of the economy strikes fairly close to home for me, and my time has been spend to a greater extent trying to pick up the pieces for a member of my family who has been hit hard.

Tomorrow sees me music up to the epaulettes again - morning service with the choir, then program practice (I'm the musical director & accompanist for that) and choir practice that afternoon. Everyday Dave's here, I'm doing something different. I am determined, now, to enjoy the rest of his stay. Some of our talk has cleared air that has needed clearing for years, and we're closer now than ever. It's likely I'll end up in AZ before the summer is out to help him in packing up the parts of his life in his house that he valued the most and will feel the loss of most.

Anyhoo, if I don't poke my head up much in here for a while, you'll know what's up.

A Little Bit of Pic-Spam

I've told you folks a few times that I live in Paradise. Part of Paradise is living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. I know that I enjoy seeing the pics some of you post from your cameras, I hope that you enjoy a teenie bit of reciprocation.

New Roots

I have often wondered at Celeborn's fate. Did he ever cross the sea to be with Galadriel and Celebriel, or did he remain behind? Usually I have him crossing the sea eventually, but this plot bunny wanted to explore the less popular alternative.
