Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason.

I am REALLY back from Bakersfield (wow, I'm posting this entry late). The wedding festivities were pleasant and I met and hung out with many of Leonard's family, only a few of whom hinted or nagged at us that we should be next to marry. Susanna threw the bouquet at me, but that was all in good clean fun.
At the reception, I met an amazingly attractive man in his early twenties, a funny, intelligent, conscientious, and single friend of the groom named Tim. You Northern California LDS ladies do not know how lucky you are!
In Los Angeles, Leonard and I saw Adam, Kim, Kris, and Melissa. Adam made yummy curry, Leonard broke the bounds of tiramisu, and I surprised myself at omelettery. Also, the musicians three came up with about seventy style or song parodies of different musicians using "Popeye the Sailor Man." My favorites included Jonathan Richman and Nirvana.
Speaking of music, Leonard picked up a fantastic CD of US election campaign songs, Washington through Clinton. I'll let him talk about that.
