The Space Between Life

It is a moment of solitude. Marina and I are sitting in a cabin in the mountains as snow falls steadily. We are drinking coffee before a fire, listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and eating cinnamon rolls. This afternoon we attending the mountainside wedding of a long time friend-no word yet if "White Wedding" will be played. One week from today, we will be settling in to our new life in Santa Cruz. Today, then, is a break from the frenzy of packing and setting up to telecommute, and a chance to send a friend off to a new life.

A deep breath, and we move on. Congratulations, Christy!
