Dear Cali Chica:

My weekend was good- visited Seattle after not being there for a year on Saturday, been very foggy Sunday, slow and peaceful.

I thought about you last evening when I received an invitation to attend a wedding this evening. Notice: last evening I received a telephone call inviting us to attend a wedding in 24 hours from the time of the call. How can that be, one might ask. Answer: the couple booked a spot on an open mike event in a local market downtown. People book spots for themselves to perform a comedy routine or a song. This couple who have been in a relationship for a few years and intended to get married for some time, booked a spot in open mike to get married. Quite casual, isn’t it?

The reason I thought about you in connection to this, is I thought how very different are traditional Indian weddings!

Reads like you and husband will be living in SD and that you are operating like a team. Good thing. Like you expressed a long time ago, his job market is much smaller than yours, so it still makes sense that you settle where he has a job.
