David,
The last time I took that advice, I ended up married.
Well, that worked out pretty well, though, so I guess it’s good advice.

Cliff,
Just sit down and take this paper bag and put it over your mouth and breath slowly.
If will be all better soon.

I have a very good reason for not being there. You see, there was this earthquake, see? And I was on the interstate when a truck full of Cabbage Patch Dolls overturned and I nearly plowed into horse drawn carriage that…

Hey, wait a minute! I WAS there.

Good thing too, because that lie was getting away from me.

I attended a wedding of a good friend who lives in Akron, Ohio. It was held at Stan Hywet, formerly the palatial estate of the family who started the Goodyear Tire Co. http://www.stanhywet.org/ If you are ever in the neighborhood, you should go. Very lovely, and well preserved property.

The wedding was very 4 weddings and a funeral, w/o the funeral stuff, but with the drama. My friend’s DJ had disappeared and she asked me to fill in at the last minute. (I do DJ stuff on the side)

So, instead of getting a giftcard, she received a much more valuable present, and I got to be a bigger part of her day! :)

I stayed over the weekend with other close friends in their new home. They have a view much like yours, John, just on the other side of the state. They moved from Akron to the country, just outside of Jeromesville (which has a great roadhouse tavern in the center of town). The nearest ‘big’ town is Ashland, and my friends are loving living in the country. They already had an impromptu ‘watching the storm roll in party’ on their porch with the neighbors.

So yeah, I missed Indy. I’ll catch you next time. :)

I was attending a family wedding in Connecticut. A most lovely time, well worth the hassles of air travel. Which I can’t complain about really; despite the cramped planes and the Long March from Gate C43 to A17 at the Detroit Airport, all connections were made, and Northwest Airlines got me (and my suitcase) where I was supposed to be on schedule, give or take 15 minutes. And there was no line to speak of at security at either Dayton or Bradley airports.

Sorry – I’d have loved to be there, but I was building outdoor furniture for my sister all weekend. In the rain.

Good times. *grin*

Wasn’t there because I had a prior engagement one state in the opposite direction with a beautiful woman. We got married 25 years ago last Wednesday, you see, and thought we might observe the date by touring Fallingwater and environs.

Depp & DiCaprio are excellent in their portrayals.
