  • Norm and Vicky’s second wedding

    15 Apr 2007 » 3 min read

    I was up at about 7:30 Saturday morning and sat on the couch to read until Norm and Vicky got up. I heard their alarm go off at 8:30 and as soon as it went off, I could hear Vicky in a panic. She later explained that she forgot it was Saturday and thought she…

  • To New York!

    10 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    I’m heading up to New York this weekend to see Norm and Vicky of vickyandnorm fame, now that they are back from their honeymoon. In a crazy coincidence, they are having their church wedding (convalidation ceremony) on Saturday so I will be there to attend that. This means that in the space of three weeks,…

  • Norm and Vicky’s wedding reception

    25 Mar 2007 » 7 min read

    We arrived at the reception, which started out as a kind of cocktail hour. We stood in a short line to sign the guest book and were amused by the text that was printed on the back of our little tickets (I can’t find mine or I would reproduce it here for you. Suffice it…

  • Speechwriting

    In more of less of a panic that I wouldn’t know what to say at Norm and Vicky’s wedding, I decided today to actually jot down a few words. Actually, about 600 of them. (That’s really not a lot, considering it takes less than 3 minutes to speak them outloud.) I’ve read through it once,…

  • Grocery shopping

    18 Mar 2007 » 1 min read

    I’m just back from grocery shopping. It’s a short week since I’ll be in Orlando for 5 days of the week, but I wanted to get back into the good eating habits which I had for months and started to let slip recently, so I picked up lots of fruit and veggies and healthy things…

  • Epithalamium*

    27 Feb 2007 » 1 min read

    Way back when, vickyandnorm asked me if I would make some remarks at their upcoming wedding. I hadn’t thought much about it until I was at the gym this morning, when, halfway through a difficult chest press, I finally got my “theme”. That was all I needed and most of what I want to say…

  • Booked my flight for Norm & Vicky’s wedding

    07 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I just got through booking my flight for Norm & Vicky’s wedding. The fares finally came down to reasonable levels (reasonable is < $300/round trip), at least on United, so I got my tickets today. I arrive in Orlando at about 5:30 PM on Wednesday, March 21. My flight back home departs at 7:30 AM…

  • March hotel arrangements

    This morning, I made my reservation with the Dolphin Resort at Disney World for Norm and Vicky’s wedding. I arrive in Orlando the evening of March 21 and depart on Sunday, March 25. I got the basic room, king bed, non-smoking. I still have to make my travel arrangements for flying down to Orlando, but…

  • Yanks are winning, so off to bed

    26 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    I watched the Yankee game through 4-1/2 innings and now that they are winning 6-2, I think it’s safe for me to head off to bed. I have to be up at 4:30 AM for a 6 AM session with Bernard so I need to get some sleep tonight. Hopefully the Yanks can maintain their…
