To the left is a photo from a special party a few years back. Figured it was a good preview of what was to come.

Skipped the cross-training workout I was supposed to do today (I think I was going to bike), primarily because the bachelor party is today. I've been running around, getting all the things I need: presents, making sure the vehicle is lined up, making sure we have the locations we're going all set, making sure we have the pre-party stocked with beer and food. All is ready to go, and in a half-hour, I'll be out of here.

It so good to have good friends arriving in town for this wedding. I'm always amazed how easy it is to slip back into the groove when you see old friends. It makes me happy. I laughed more today on a drive to the mall, listening to my buddy Garret's sarcasm, and his imitations of imaginary characters he makes up in his head, than I have in a long time. I had two beers with lunch at 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. It was nice.

Tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be many stories to tell.

Talk to y'all soon. - Ed
