Wow. I have been the king of short and infrequent posts recently. I think it is time for another list of ten.
1. Everybody looks better. (Call me shallow if you want, but its' true)
2. They are emotional events, even for cavemen like me that rarely express strong emotions.
3. They remind me of my own wedding (which was great) and many of my friends.
4. An open bar is always nice.
5. Ditto a nice dinner.
6. Dancing with my bride.
7. Sometimes a wedding means a little bonus for ministers :)
8. Marriage is one of the Bible's most used metaphors for God's relationship to us.
9. Special musical choices, like when Julie walked down the Aisle to "God only knows," by the Beach Boys, or when Rich and Dawn left to "Beautiful day."
10. The way everybody works together to make an awesome day for two people.
Congrats to Rich and Dawn, married yesterday.

Living Simply(e:Janelle) and I have been trying to drive less, make more of our own food, shop locally, and all that good stuff. (e:Janelle) has even taken it to the next level, and discovered that vinegar and baking soda makes a great cleaning solution.
So last night, she asked me to go buy paper towels, and I looked at her and asked, completely straight faced, "Don't we make our own paper towels now?"
I thought I was so funny.

I saw like the first hour of the game and was going to go back to it but passed out, sounds like an amazing game was to be had.

Damn, Drew. I watched until the end of the first OT. On form, it really looked like the Wings were going to be the team to end it. I was about to call and apologize for bringing my Buffalo sports luck to the Pens.

They were looking a little sloppy at the beginning of the first ot, but I guess the tide started to turn. Fluery was incredible

This is funny.
Neat. :) U2 instead of Mendelssohn. But I must admit I love those two very popular pieces by Wagner and Mendelssohn to bits! Funny thing is I have never actually been to a real wedding where they were played. All my love comes from seeing them on the celluloid media!
