exhaustion

melody got married this past sunday and an absolutely lovely time was had by all. about three quarters of the way through the reception i started to crash hard. i hadn't paid much notice to the level of stress we were operating at up until that point... family functions occuring more-or-less nightly for one week straight can really take it out of a fellow. the party was alcohol-free but i still felt almost hungover at work on monday. hopefully many pics will surface in the coming weeks... it's funny how even though we're all exclusively digital these days, it still takes time to upload and review and edit and enjoy and finally share the images. someone should do a graph comparing the time it takes, on average, to "process" digital photos on your own with how long it took, on average, to get film developed and sorted and into albums and other people's hands. it could look something like this:

in other news, george made an outstanding effort in the nike+ challenge:

i almost totally blew it, i'd run about a half a kilometer before i noticed i'd set the wrong distance as my goal and then tried a new route in order to avoid hills but choose very poorly and hit, like, two extra hills. i seriously didn't think i'd pulled it off. dear diary, i ran real fast today, kthxbye.
