I’ve heard the same comment five or six times at the Starbucks on Pacific Street in Santa Cruz, each time from a different barrista. “Five bucks?

For those of you who can’t get enough of me and Sandy in our coordinated dresses (and that crowd could be limited to me, Sandy, and a couple of relatives… I am fast becoming one of those people who bore other people with their wedding pictures), see: http://bluehighways.com/gallery/weddingpix/ Bookmark to:
I took a few days’ blogging break during and immediately after the high-octane phase of the annual grant I file for LSTA, which is the bulk of the funding for LII.

No postings to FRL this week, most likely. Thanks for all the wedding greetings! I’m sitting here staring at our certificate–what an amazing world we are in.
