Shared Time
As promised, pictures from the long weekend.

Justin in armor.

And with helm up.

The two of us at Bridle Trails State Park in Kirkland. You can see that my outfit is cool. I, on the other hand, am not. Why does my face do this in pictures? Am I just that ugly? heh.

Later that night, my sisters and I experienced some euphoric strawberry shortcake induced giddiness at Folk Life. We scared a few people. ;)

Realized a few things tonight and, with luck, I'll remember them. Discovered not only that I have a double-standard for change (I favor it yet it angers me) but also why that double-standard exists:

I want things to change because through their change I see more sides of them and come to understand them more completely.

BUT, I come to understand each thing in its passing, so when something changes from one thing to the next, I can then understand what came before and begin to strive to understand the next thing.

The only problem is that the understanding comes for what is past and what can no longer be. Learning is more, but at a greater expense.

Or, less elaborately put... as Joni Mitchell once sang:

Don't it always seem to go... you don't know what you got till it's gone.

And for you, Murray, because you haven't yet seen it and because you made me look at dancing penises...Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! and Hypothermia song. Oh wait, don't forget Schoolbus!
