Back in Seattle...

Wow, is about all I can say.
It's really been quite the month since the wedding!
Lili and I went to Turkey for our impromptu honeymoon, which was a good time. I left a few days after we got back and flew into Fort Myers, Florida, where I rented a car and was pulled over by the police at 3 in the morning on my way to Mobile, to pick up my stuff and continue onwards to the other side of the country.
When I arrived in mobile in the morning, I was quite disturb to discover that the day before they decided to cut off my water due to an outstanding bill of $11.64!!! If I wanted to have my water turned back on at the apartment, it would have required paying the balance of $11.64 and a deposit of $100.00, and a $60.00 reconnection fee! So, I opted out of that deal. I went on Sunday night and picked up Jacobe from New Orleans, my travelling companion for the next several days, from Mobile to San Francisco--which I will be blogging and sharing pictures about in the coming days.
We had a really wonderful time once we packed up everything from Mobile for the movers and headed out on Wednesday morning-- the trip went nearly perfect except for camping in moonsoon conditions at the Grand Canyon and having my car prowled in San Francisco--more on that later.
Then, to put icing on the proverbial cake, I was in a car accident the day after my arrival in Seattle. A korean guy decided to cut across four lanes of traffic and make an illegal turn in rainy conditions and I slammed into him, quite hard. Damage to the Hyandai is going to be large, but we shall see.
This weekend marked the end of travel, making it up to Tiny's place in Easton, always a treat and watching Eric and Lindsay Groenhart get married at semiahmoo.. quite the wedding....
...more on all of this later. Read more!
