quick multi-faceted update, mostly in sentence fragments

There's going to be a memorial service for my grandmother in Florida this Wednesday afternoon. I am actually thinking about flying down just for the day, as I can get a frequent flyer ticket. EDIT: Talked to Dad and have booked free ticket: going down early Wed., staying overnight in St. Petersburg, returning Thursday evening. Plus he'll pick me up in Tampa so I need not rent a car -- excellent. Plus I have ordered flowers to be sent from me and my brother.
Meanwhile, going to the beach tomorrow.
Made some graphics updates and content additions to my design website. Have recently completed a website commission and a calligraphy job -- yay! Working on a book job, and (hopefully soon now that SIGGRAPH is over) finishing up a cover job.
Not a lot of forward motion yet on wedding planning, except for some first efforts at invitations and dresses (the parts I care about... :-) Basically, we really need to pin down a venue before we can call the date "official", and most of the other details can wait and evolve slowly after that. (Future wedding-related posts at any greater level of detail than this will go behind a cut, in an effort to avoid becoming The Most Boring Journal Ever.)
Also, TigerParents are holding an engagement party for us in VA over Columbus Day weekend (right after Simchat Torah). As this happens also to be my birthday weekend, it means two things: (1) I'll be spending my birthday at the much-anticipated Maryland Renaissance Festival -- and (2) family birthday dinner will involve not only my Future In-Laws, but also my mom and (hopefully) stepfather, as she/they will be flying out!
