I’ve been really busy lately, which is the reason for my lackadaisical posting habits. Today, for example, is my first wedding anniversary, and since wife and I eloped one year ago today, we celebrated with a few friends & family last weekend, much too late for anyone to object to our nuptials (a method I recommend to all young lovers: get the frightening I do’s out of the way early, and enjoy the reception later without any nervous public speaking parts).

Soon we will go to Portugal, my wife’s home, and have another celebration with friends and family on the east side of the Atlantic.

Careful readers will note that we got married on a Tuesday. Tuesday night was when everyone was free. Witnesses Mike & Christene, Reverend John and fiancée Susana and I met at the Sunset Tavern at 6PM to discuss the evening’s plan over a pitcher of beer, reconvened later at the sandy bluff in Discovery Park, nice words were spoken from John, sim from Susana, I do from me, Champagne cork pop, glugglugglug, clickclick, gobbled cake with Right On! embroidered in red sugary dollops, drive to dinner, fancy tropical drink toasts, postcards sent, and it’s one year later, already.
