This weekend is one year since Matt and I moved to the Village. We moved on Friday, June 24, and two days later the Pride Parade went right down our street. (Photos.) I’ve just looked out the window, and they’re already setting up the barricades for this weekend.

This is a great apartment in a great location, and it looks like we’ll be here for just one more year. I hope it doesn’t go by too quickly.

In the meantime, to combine an adjective and a noun, representing related emotional states, into a semi-redundant, awkward-sounding phrase:

Fun Enjoyment

Merry Proudness

Proud Happiness

Happy Pride.
