Grrr

Lovely ride to work -- until I hop off at the library and reach for my lock, only to find that it -- and the assembly that keeps it attached to the bike -- are gone.

How I missed that this morning, I don't know. Dangit.

GOOD stuff

On the Good Things front, I belatedly added vivalabonita as a ... hmmm ... groomsmaid?

At any rate, she's going to be standing beside me, along with her husband edgylesjr (my best man) and ox_number_10. Stefanie is an old, dear friend, and I'm sorry I didn't buck tradition and ask her to stand with me in the first place.

Hmm.

You know, I can't help but think that there's a little bit of reaping what I've sown in current friendship-land troubles.

See, I've blown off people -- flawed people, with serious social and behavioural problems, but people who were, in their way, decent, good friends -- in order to hang out with "cooler" people. And that has bit me in the ass, more than once.

Of course, I've also rid myself of total losers, but the point is the good people I've blown off.

So there it is. Time to learn that lesson.
