I got a call from our friend Geoff this (Saturday) morning saying he was getting married tonight. This was a total surprise. He said his girlfriend Sandy's sister's two teenage boys were tragically orphaned last week, so before Sandy was to take custody of the kids, Geoff decided to propose to her Thursday, filed papers Friday and had a small ceremony tonight at their art gallery/antique store. I took photos of course. A night of joy shared with close friends and family was just the right way to turn around a week of sorrow.

I stopped by the Senator Theater tonight to use an ATM machine and enjoyed the searchlights that are promoting the made-in-Maryland-movie Ladder 49.

It's been cloudy most of the afternoon here in Ft. Lauderdale, and we've been in a meeting inside at our call center all day anyway. Hopefully I'll get back for a longer visit.

My company IT department delivered my voice-enabled Blackberry today just in time for business trip tonight and tomorrow to Florida for a meeting at our call center. Receiving the popular Blackberry is also a sign that I'm becoming a Washingtonian. Blackberrys are everywhere, especially around Capitol Hill. With my new cell number, I was also able to finally order new business cards today. Now to figure out how to juggle today's arrival with the Sidekick II that is headed my way on a U.S. Postal Service truck somewhere in town.

I stopped into my favorite alternative bookstore this afternoon to scan the new releases table. My alternative picks were Jon Stewart's America (The Book) A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, which is a smart concentration of Daily Show humor presented in the format of a college textbook. I love the two-page map of future Washingtion, D.C. in chapter 8. The book is chock full of marginalia "facts" and includes a pull-out poster of our "Shadow Government." For the next month or so, this book will be a chic hipside accessory to carry around D.C.

My other takeaway was Flips - Book Seven - Animation from Hong Kong publisher IdnPRO. The book is a broad survey of recent animation, and comes with a DVD containing video of about 95% of the animations pictured in the book.

All good front porch reading for a sunny Sunday afternoon.
