Hello everyone,

I know it’s been a minute since I’ve written anything that wasn’t a story or book recommendation, but I wanted to share a few things before I disappear for the next week.

I am getting married today. After four and a half years of dating the person I knew I would spend the rest of my life with from day one, we are finally making things official. Food, drink, and fun will be had. And cake too, plenty of cake. While we are all having fun here, I hope you have some fun as well wherever you are. Have a drink for me if you like. Beer or coffee or whatever. Or have some cake, or a pastry. Or do whatever your heart desires. It’s moments like these, which I am experiencing right now, that remind us that life is more than just working and stressing and raging against the current of the world. It is about fellowship and good times. These moments come too few and I hope that you are living your best life. Visiting friends and enjoying the moments without even thinking about the time.

Tonight, for me, I will be surrounded by friends and family while we all drink and dance and sit around talking. We will be celebrating and having fun. And I will be sending these good vibes out into the world and I hope some of them find you.

If anyone is worried about not having a story or book recommendation for the next week (I’m not foolish enough to believe anyone anxiously awaits these), fear not for I have prepared a few things ahead of time. That’s right, I have written a story and prepared a recommendation. Things will proceed as usual. Book recommendations on Sundays and stories on Thursdays. I even added a little micro fiction for this next week as well.

I’ll probably check-in from time to time (from my phone while in the car or something) so I won’t be completely absent, but I will be fairly silent on social media.

Anyway, I know I’ve said this earlier, but I will try to post more non-story/book posts going forward.

Next time you see a post on here though, it will be from a married man. As always, thanks for reading. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Until next time…

Ryan
