Rite of Passage

June 18, 2008
Oaxaca, Mexico

Good:  The pictures and stories from California about gender neutral marriage licenses.  It sounds like it was a lot of fun.  Rinda and I are going to do fill in our forms on July 6th-our wedding day.  It is going to be extremely low key.  While we are thrilled to get a marriage license, our real wedding was in 1991.

Bad:  I feel badly for Jamie.  There is a way in which Kalin, Maya and I are just done with this traveling thing.  This is a our last week of Spanish Classes, so next week we will do more site seeing.  I imagine we would have felt this way during our last two weeks regardless of where we were or what we were doing.  The enthusiasm I had early on ("We're on a big trip" ) has vanished ("Only two more weeks").  I remind myself that in other circumstances a two week trip would be long.

Surprising:  Driver's education!  Jamie reminded us that now is the time. She has driver's ed when she returns.  In checking out our options for Kalin, I signed her up for an online course that comes from a school in Berkeley.  Can she really be that old (yep, August 2nd she can get her permit!)?  Can I really be that old (yep, just look in the mirror).
