If you've ever seen the musical Fiddler on the Roof, you know what that phrase is all about. When did my little girl grow to be so tall? In just a few hours, I'll be walking my baby girl down the aisle, as it were, to hand her off to her new husband. The aisle, in our case is a hundred-foot-long path along the lake to the dock at the point where the ceremony will be held.
The yard and garden and courtyard (my ex-wife's home) have been transformed into an enchanted land and I've hung some three thousand faerie lights in the bushes and trees to welcome the guests. We only have a few dozen things on our to-do list this morning before we can actually get dressed for the wedding. Last evening I spent half an hour practicing the father/daughter dance (to The Beatles "In My Life") and didn't do half bad. She asked me if I was going to cry all the way through it because she was likely to. The answer is yes, of course.
I've had a really great time the past ten days helping get ready for everything. It's been hectic and I'm sore and tired, but I am incredibly excited about the event this evening. I'm sure you will all appreciate the fact that I haven't done much writing this week. I'm hoping to do some catch-up for the next two weeks and get back on track. I'm eleven chapters into the third volume of "Team Manager," SWISH! and really want to get rolling on it.
Not to mention being eighteen chapters into the next Wayzgoose story about Liam Cyning, A Place Among Peers. Oh, and don't forget the sequel to Drawing on the Dark Side of the Brain that I'm thirteen chapters into. I have a lot of writing to do!
But not today. Today, I will be out of touch for the next several hours as I celebrate with my family. Lift your glass for us if you are so inclined!
As usual, I almost forgot what I was going to say in today's post. Chapter 27 of Team Manager: SWISH! is up this morning and everyone has to deal with the aftermath of the drug raid and the injuries that were inflicted-physical and mental. I hope you will find it cathartic.
Yesterday, chapter three of Jackie the Beanstalk posted. That story is getting complicated for Jackie as everyone expects the Warrior Wizard to go out in the storm to face the Mountain Monster and rescue the child. Jackie just wanted a good night's sleep.
Enjoy the reading!
