While I was sitting in a pew taking photos after the wedding, PD stopped by to talk. I knew that it was going to happen, eventually.
PD: "We really miss you, man."
Traveler: "Great, that is greatly appreciated."
PD: "So, how do you like living in Manassas?"
Traveler: "Manassas? I live in Woodbridge."
PD: "Oh."
A long pause.
PD: "How is the new townhouse?"
Traveler: "I don't have a townhouse. I live with xxxxxx. I'm saving up for a house."
PD: "Oh."
Another couple pregnant pauses. Very long pauses.
PD walks away.
Traveler (thinking): You miss me that much, eh?
At least, the awkwardness is finally over. We can move on.
Recording and sharing my experiences onscreen. Writing about the Washington DC metro area, Christianity, current events, travel, the local church scene, and my life adventures...And, yes, any tales, observations, & opinions may be included.

Very sad. Yet very funny -- I laughed out loud in a cyber cafe. It's a shame.
So sad. Yet, so strange.
I shook my head. So sad, eh?
