I haven't even told you about joining the Rugby team yet, have I? Things have been so busy and full the past couple of weeks.
I got back to Iowa for a reunion with my cousins and had a great time. We went canoing and mountain biking up at the farm.
A judge struck down a law prohibiting same sex marriage and my father and his partner of 30 years got married--my sister and I lit the candle at the beginning of the church ceremony. A stay was placed on the order to permit same sex marriages and though they have their marriage license, the clerk was not permitted to record it--so they are in limbo until the state supreme court reviews the appeal.
I went to see David Bazan with my friend Johnny at The Beat Kitchen last Saturday. I've said before that when you think you are the only person in the world who cares about something or are trying to figure out if we have any obligations to anything, Pedro the Lion's voice beckons you out of your wilderness. David Bazan dropped the moniker of Pedro the Lion, but is still standing sentry. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone opened for him. Watching him set up his sound boxes and devices was more interesting than most television.
I also joined a rugby team, the Chicago Dragons. We practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That keeps me pretty busy--it's surprising how much two nights a week takes of your time. We also go out after practice--on school nights. So Wednesday and Friday I typically nap after work. It's just as well though, cause after practice I hurt from working out weird muscles. My shoulder was terribly sore for about 10 days.
More later...

I have officially retired from Kickball. I don't think Rugby is up my alley (or within the strict limits of my meager physical abilities) so my activity rate has declined sharply as of late.
You should post some rugby pics to get the ladies (or guys, or whatever you are into this week) wet.
