still catching up

Let's see, I'm back from florida, not yet fully unpacked from the move... sorry these updates have been creeping along at a snail's pace. You won't believe how many reviews are piling up too... Here goes:

Christie's mom & step dad held a cocktail party at a cabin in chataqua on the thursday prior to the wedding. Dylan, michele, and I attended and witnessed some outrageous bestman dialogues before dropping benje off at the fox. Meanwhile, jacq was in chicago where she wound up stuck at the airport until the
recent terrorist scare blew over. Stephanie made me a kickass birthday dinner on friday complete with ice cream cake.

The wedding festivities began in earnest later saturday afternoon. And after some brief rainshowers, the outdoor ceremony went off without a hitch. The reception was a short walk away, and we decided to spruce up the party a bit with a clandestine trip to get a foot of vodka and a case of red bulls. The band was great - some kind of rhythm-y latin band that plays at rhumba. Post reception was a trip to red fish / trilogy, winding up at a party where everyone was dressed as pirates. Yar.



The next day was my b-day, and we rounded up some troops to head to sherman street for a bbq and horseshoes. As more people arrived, boche seemed a safer alternative than shoes. And of course GW came correct with the 7" flight case of balls. Eventually there was even some serious hula-hoop action. You know for kids?
