To my Friends in VA, and Otherwise

To any friend(s) I may happen to possess in the VA (no, not Veteran's Administration) area:

WHEREFORE, The First Dragon Wedding (DWI) is taking place upon the 4th day of this month of August (an excellent day for marriage, if I may be allowed to recommend it as the daughter of my parents who were married on that excellent day), and

WHEREFORE, I wish to attend said wedding, and furthermore

WHEREFORE, I am on the support-raising trail,

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT

I, H. Rebekah C., will be visible in the VA area from the seventh (7th) to the thirteenth (13th) of this month, and desirous of seeing you. If the feeling is mutual, let me know and we'll get together.

Otherwise:

we are all here (albeit briefly). This is not a statement about the mental state of my multiple personalities (all schizophrenic), or royal Self with a hamster in the pocket. Nor is it a statement about the mental state of my family. But he is making jokes, and I am laughing at them (and stealing an old one).

And the happiest of birthdays to the youngest of the tribe, who entered the perilous year between 11-12 today. May God have mercy.
