the Honeymoon


The Honeymoon was fantastic. We stayed at the Alderbrook Resort on the Hood Canal in Union, Wash. It was the first real holiday for either of us and it was worth every penny.


Day of Days


Aaaaannnnnddddd........... completion.......

As an event that was intended to be modest and that become even more so as the date approached, I assumed that the level of complexity would be in an inverse relationship to the scope of the event.

I assumed incorrectly. Preparing for and executing the event involved chaos at an almost Cuthulu-like scale that threatened to shatter my fragile human constitution. In the end, I survived... but just barely.

Great praise needs to be heaped upon my Best Man; Clay and his lovely wife; Marsha. Not the least of which for their calm demeanor; panic begets panic and I am thankful for people that do not incite such vile things.

But most importantly, I have a lovely bride that I somehow tricked into marrying me.
