If you are planning on buying Wal-Mart flip-flops, you should probably buy them now. Another week, and your size (not to mention preferred color and style) could very well be gone, not to be seen again until next March. How do I know this? I'm an expert because I worked in the shoe department of a Wal-Mart during the summer of 1999.

Jenny at Age 21: My First Post-College Job

This was a pretty darn good weekend. I left early Wednesday morning on a train to Washington, DC. I was there for a workshop and to present at the workshop, which I did on Friday morning. I'm told that the presentation went well, so yay for that.

Two weekends ago, Jonathan and I watched our friends John and Mari pledge their faithfulness to each other in a stucco-covered adobe church in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Congratulations, Mari and John! It was a beautiful Orthodox Christian wedding. The church itself is Antiochian Orthodox, one chain in the lush emblazoned tapestry of culture and faith that is Santa Fe.

Hi, again. This is Jonathan's wife, Jenny. Jonathan is currently on the way home from our friend Charlie's ordination as a priest at the cathedral at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Congratulations, Rev. Charles Cortinovis!

Anyway, since Jonathan has been busy and will continue to be busy in the upcoming week, I am going to start blogging my perspective of our trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico for another friend's wedding.

The past two weeks have seen several new chapters starting here, and probably the closing of at least one.

A revival of sorts this is. I've been letting this blog languish for a bit too long here. I started to spend a lot more effort twittering small updates, and ran myself out of time to work on larger updates for the blog. At the time, I decided to add my twitter feed to the top of the blog here. I checked it, then logged-out and moved on with the busy part of life. Today I noticed that the twitter feed hasn't updated in weeks, partially due to a configuration bug that was introduced when one of the machines where I have this blog hosted was upgraded. Argh.

Hi happy readers. It has been a little while since I posted here. We've been pretty busy. I've been working on a show for Riverview school district. They're doing Jesus Christ Superstar, which is quite possibly one of my favorite shows. That is going well, and will probably be the subject of a few longer posts later. I've also been busy learning my new camera, which has been quite fun.

My Dad gave me a copy of the News Photographer magazine yesterday, which is the journal for the National Press Photographers Assocation. It was a good read, and got me to thinking about a bunch of stuff. I was poking-around on the NPPA website today, and saw this quote:

Jenny and I just got home after a most delightful picnic. I am working as Sound Designer for a show over in the Riverview school district (that's in Oakmont, PA, in case you're not from these parts). There was a tech work session today, so I was busy over there for that. I was done with my part right around 15:00.

Do odd things happen in your old house, too? Jenny and I have never really felt "alone" here in our home, though we've also not had a whole lot happen that we thought was out of the ordinary. Lately, though, we've had at least two incidents that seemed to be strange.
