We're about to travel to the U.K. for the wedding of my son, Patrick Macgill, to Maya Das. I do believe the deluge has ended over there, and the flood waters are receding. Maybe the temperature will rise and the sun will shine. In any case, the wedding will be a delight, no matter what the weather.
The ceremony will take place on Friday, August 3, at Leeds Castle in Maidstone, followed by dinner and dancing until late in the evening. We plan to celebrate with much jollity.
Although we do not plan to stay long in England, at least not this trip, we do intend to pack a lot in - our prenuptual dinner, the wedding itself, a breakfast afterwards, and maybe a visit to a museum or two, once we are back in London. Since only a few family members will be joining us, we plan to have family and friends join us later in Bel Air for an American reception, as we are calling it. The newly weds will join us and then travel to Kyoto for a conference later in August. Such a busy life!
Patrick will be working for Public Service UK, a publishing house that focuses on public policy. He will be working on an online journal called Defense Management. I think with his background in modern European history, he should do fine.
Maya will continue her studies for her doctorate in English literature. In fact, the trip to Kyoto is for a conference where she will be delivering a paper.
How exciting this all is. And just think, in a few weeks, I'll be back at school and life will once again be tedious and difficult and full of work. Oh well...
