Feb. 13, 2004 - Friday the 13th. Happy Anniversary to my parents! Kinda funny when that happens. The other night we went to see Rollins do his "Shock and Awe, My Ass" Spoken Word show. It was a great show. He'd be talking about something that would anger you tremendously and then all of a sudden he'd have you laughing hysterically. His show takes you on a logical and emotional roller-coaster ride. I felt tired after and all I did was sit for a few hours! I'd highly recommend catching his show if it comes near you.

Feb. 6, 2004 - Well, I seem to have had a bit of a lapse in posting once again. It was very short though. Only a little over a year. But, being as I just spent the $$ to renew my domain name, I igure I'll (yes - I know I'm repeating myself for the umpteenth time) take a renewed interest in doing something with my site. Now - on to the real news of me....Well.....I am actually the best man that someone knows! Jeremy and Judy are getting married and I was asked to be the best man. Out of everyone Jeremy knows I was the best. That's actually kind of frightening. I'm not sure if that's a good thing for me, or if it just says some really bad stuff about the people Jeremy knows! I've just put up a info page for them here. If you're using a browser other than I.E. and don't see a countdown bar under the page title, try it in I.E. OK, on the homefront, Katie and I just bought a full bedroom set and are fixing up our master bedroom. New furniture, new light fixtures, new ceiling fan. Big plans. We also plan on replacing several other light fixtures throughout the house. Get rid of that 1980's decor. My brother David is in driver's ed, so if you are in CT, beware. The streets are even less safe than they were before. Heck, I'm deathly frightened and I'm 125 miles away! On to the other pages to see what's badly outdated throughout the site. Like the content. And the look. And the.......

Jan. 8, 2003 - Happy New Year!!! Quite a lot has been happening since I last posted anything here. I had meant to really get going with this site, trying to use newer technologies and scripting, redesigning, etc., but I simply got waaaaaay too busy. My wife and I are now the proud owners of our first home. Well, at least we are the "proud payers to the bank" for our new home. But it is nice to have a bit more privacy, have a yard, a place to put more of our junk, and all of that fun stuff. The worst thing about it so far is that we've had an amazing amount of snow in a short time here. There is probably still between 3 and 4 feet sitting in my yard at the moment. That makes for a lot of unfun work. Now I'm working on doing up my office. Have to patch up the walls, paint, furnish, wire, and generally show that I've got great ideas on how to put together a room, despite my wife's opinions on my ability to do so. I'm good at it, damnit!! At any rate, once again I am taking an interest in the site as life begins to stabilize. Let's see where (if anywhere) it takes us.

Jul. 26, 2002 - Quick update from Dallas, Texas!! Came down for work, took a couple of days to visit my Uncle Peter. Texas is one of my favorite places.

Oct. 31, 2001 -Happy Halloween!! Haven't felt too much like posting since last month. Right about the time of the tragedy I was beginning to work on a redesign of the site. Didn't happen. Probably won't for a while now. But at least I'm up to posting again. The weekend before Sept. 11 I finally bought my JVC KD-SH99. Installed it on Monday the 10th, working until 1:00 AM to get it all in nicely. And I spent the entire first day of my new stereo listening to the news on what happened. Since life mostly returned to normal, however, I have really enjoyed this stereo. It sounds very good, especially considering it's running through my garbage factory speakers. The silver didn't end up looking too bad either. This past weekend I went to a driving range and hit some golf balls with my brother-in-law Craig. I had a few decent shots so we decided to go play 9 holes at a Par 3. My first game of golf ever! I went in with expectations of an absolutely horrendous performance on my part, but I actually did all right! Craig shot a 39 and I shot a 49, including 1 Par! I did take a few small liberties, but hey, it was my first game. And with the expectations I went in with, I had level-set myself so that I was thrilled with just about any hole where I didn't lose anything or kill any wildlife with my shots. I'm going to get a set of clubs (looks like for free - yeehaw) and see if I like the game enough to really get into it. At least with golf it seems to be easier to find people who will go out and play, unlike with bowling. No one ever wants to go out anymore. Everyone I know has evidently become ultra-lame. Especially Harry. Just thought I'd throw that in there. And if a guy who likes bowling is calling you lame, you know you really are.

Sep. 12, 2001 -Yesterday, 9/11/2001, was a day that will forever smolder in the back of my mind. It was a day that saw cowardly, despicable, insane acts by cowardly, despicable, insane beasts, not men, in the terrorist attacks across the United States. I was lucky in the fact that my friends and loved ones in and around New York City were alive and well when I was finally able to reach them. For many, this will not be the case, and my heart goes out to you. May the coming days bring you good luck, good news, and relief. My thoughts are with you. And to those that would commit such a heinous act, and to those who revel in its aftermath, may you suffer untold sorrow and pain, and a slow, tortuous, and nearby demise.

Aug. 21, 2001 - Yep. Mmmmm-hmmmm. Been a while since I checked in here again. Getting to be a habit to have long rests between posts. I'm a busy guy. What can I say? My VW is doing well and I don't hate it yet. By this time with my last Maxima I was ready to roll it off of a cliff. So that's good. I've settled on the new stereo head unit I want. The JVC KD-SH99. What an excellent unit. It has gotten rave reviews in both of the audio forums I frequent and is so popular it is almost impossible to find anywhere in stock. I played with it at a local stereo shop, took in a disk of mp3's, and loved it. The only thing I wish is that they had a black-faced unit so it wouldn't stand out so much. The "Hello, Please Steal Me" aluminum face worries me. But It is a great head unit for a decent price, so I'll get it. As soon as I can find one. 1.5 weeks until Labor Day. Getting pumped. Heading up to Beaver Lake again to go to Rob's party. Turnout should be great and it should be a hell of a lot of fun. Very much looking forward to that. This past weekend was my Dad's birthday. Took him and my little brother David out to play miniature golf. I had to let both of them beat me to preserve their fragile egos. See what a nice guy I am? Just bought the Drowning Pool album Sinner. I like it so far. I think my favorite song so far is Tear Away. I haven't given the album a concerted listening yet, though. Thinking of dinner now. I'm in the mood for fish. Maybe some salmon or tuna steaks. Aren't these news posts exciting? Especially when I degenerate into thinking of my dinner and sharing the thoughts with all of you. Well, maybe I'll have more to add a bit later. If tonight is slow in the old casa, I'll start some site revamping/updating that I've been planning. Hasta Luego.

Jul. 20, 2001 -The Lake Vacation was a pretty good time, for the most part. Of course, the weather did not cooperate at all and we had rain every day, but still found time to get out on the water. I only had a few jetski tumbles at any significant speed. Good stuff. This weekend I'm heading to Long Beach on Long Island to visit Cheesefly. While I am not a fan of Long Island at all, Long Beach was pretty nice the last time I was there. And hanging with old friends is almost always a good time. So, off to the races. Besides, Katie is out of town this weekend so I'd probably be sitting home bored if I didn't go. When I'm back from Long Beach, I'm going to finally start going through the site to do a bunch of the updates I am always promising. I may even redesign the whole thing. Who knows? Not me. My Jetta has been a great car. I really didn't think I'd like it and that I was just going to use it as basic cheap transportation for a couple of years until I could buy a truck finally. But I was surprised. While I will never be content with tiny 4-cylinder power, I will say that for what it is the Jetta is a spritely little car. And I think 33 MPG kicks major boo-tay! So I've started doing a few things to the car. So far, only a few cosmetic things - red pin stripe and mudflaps, but I am just about ready to do the stereo. I have a pair of subs waiting to go into it and have narrowed my Head Unit selection to 2 models. After that, just have to get a nice amp and a box for the subs. Eventually I'll add a CD Changer and do the speakers in the car too. Other things I'd like to do to the car are a cold air induction, low impedence air cleaner, new engine chip, tuned exhaust, and maybe a few little interior treatments like new pedals and some trim pieces. Poring over catalogues and online. So I actually like the car and will keep it. But I still plan on a truck in a coupe of years if at all possible.

Jun. 16, 2001 - My despondency at being older kept me away from here for a while. My old bones were too weak to get out of bed for the last couple of months. But, after two months in bed, of course the first thing I did was come here to update. Katie, Weevil, Jeremy, Judy, Harry, and I are going on vacation for the week of the fourth of July. We rented a cabin on a lake in the Adirondack Mountains. It is an outstanding place to go. I've rented this cabin a few times before. Lots to do in the area - hike, fish, swim, tube (if we do get the damn boat we are supposed to be borrowing). Lots of smallmouth bass in the lake. I've done pretty good on those, with perch, pumpkinseed, pickerel, and some bullhead too. I fish mostly Berkely Powerworms and the fish like them. Red Shad color in the day, Blue Flek at night. All right, on to a bit more interesting stuff. On Katie's and my First Anniversary we attended the Wedding of Dan Zeitz and Heather Salomon. It was my first time attending a Jewish ceremony. Lovely wedding and a great reception too. Having a Sushi chef for the cocktail hour was an excellent touch! Dan and Heather - I'll be putting up all the wedding pictures when I commandeer enough space for them somewhere. Other than that....Katie has her summer ballet performance on June 30, once again at The Egg in downtown Albany. That's the first day of our vacation, so we'll all be heading up in the morning to essentially move in to the cabin, launch the boats, and heading right back down to see the show. Should be interesting. Watching Katie dance always brings to mind the new meaning of Nutcracker she showed Weevil, Keith, and me. At any rate, off to update some other stuff on the site.

Mar. 27, 2001 - I'm 28. Ack.

Mar. 16, 2001 - Well, only 9 days until I am wholly in my late twenties. 28. Damn. I'm formulating all kinds of "back-in-my-day" stories as we speak. Every morning, I notice a few more aches and pains. My joints creak. My bones are brittle. My hearing, sight, and mind are going. I'm just a mess. An entire leg in the grave. Monday Night Raw is this Monday. It should be a damn fine time. Car goes into the shop for some minor things next week. Last weekend I made some chicken-and-dumpling soup that has gotten rave reviews from everyone that tasted it. Everything was from scratch. Made the stock with some veggies, water, seasonings, and a chicken. No canned nothing. You could just taste the love. Or maybe that was arsenic. Tomorrow is big bad St. Patty's Day. Going to go and drink green beer. And eat me some corned beef and cabbage. At this age, I'm winded from just writing this much, so I'm off to catch my breath.

Feb. 17, 2001 - I took a hiatus from updating the site for a while. A bunch of stuff has been going on. I was involved in a car collision so I had to find a new car. Thankfully, no injuries whatsoever to anyone involved. I hate car shopping, though. What a pain in the butt. I ended up purchasing a '98 VW Jetta K2. It's black, a four-banger, but a nice enough car. The K2 package was some snowboarding or skiing package. There was no rack and skiis or snowboard with this one, but I don't do that anyway, so no big. Other than that, the K2 is an appearance and option package. The car has a nice set of wheels on it, a spoiler, heated seats, power windows and mirrors, and a special K2 interior. Other than that, pretty basic Jetta. Katie's birthday just passed on Feb. 2. She saw her shadow, and that's why it's still winter. I think she might be getting a bit too old for me, heh heh. Of course, I'll be 28 next month. That's a whole leg in the grave or something. What else.... Ahhh. I have tickets to WWF's Monday Night Raw in Albany on Mar. 19. That should be a great evening. Looking forward to seeing all my favorite characters: Kurt Angle, The Dudleyz, The APA, Taka and Funaki (Indeed!), and Bob Holly. It will be a great night. I am considering doing a major site overhaul, but I'm not sure yet. I'd like to go away from frames, I think. We'll see. And...I've run out of topics.

Dec. 14, 2000 - Ahhhh, the Christmas Season is upon us. I get a bit Grinchy nowadays because I really dislike Christmas shopping. No parking, all the crowds, and the "less-than-moderately-intelligent" seem to come out of the woodwork turning the shortest car trip into a Post-Traumatic-Stress-Syndrome causing experience. Bah. Humbug. We got ourselves a very nice Spruce tree this year. Nice and large. The Santa tree-topper has its head jammed against the ceiling. We've been lucky that the cat seems to have no interest in the tree or its ornaments. Heading to Boston this weekend to see my friend Paul Cohen, who's heading to Mongolia just before Christmas. I've asked him to bring me my own private Mongol Horde as a souvenier on his return. You gotta have dreams... No idea what to do for New Year this year. Maybe here, maybe in CT. Ummmmmm. Well - for once I'm going to be short-winded. Adios.

Nov. 6, 2000 - Well, once again I am a bit overdue for my roughly once-a-month updates on The Life and Times of the One Named Steve. I am sure you were all waiting with baited breath (Geez - go get some Certs or something) for the latest update, so here it is. Katie has started her classes in Massage Therapy. In 2 years, I'll have a wife who can fix all my ills with with a little rub-down. Nice. She has class 3 nights a week and 1 Saturday a month. I have the onerous duty of letting her practice on me. Ahhh, the sacrifices one makes for Love. Katie is very excited and this makes her very happy, so it is a great thing for her. Plus, I get such nice fringe benefits, so it is a great thing for me too. Katie's brother Craig and the lovely Chanda D'Elia got married this past weekend on Nov. 4 in a beautiful ceremony on Martha's Vineyard (or Matha's Vinyed for the locals). It was a beautiful day, wonderful ceremony ( I read the New Testament Reading), and absolutely spectacular food prepared by one of Craig's friends from the Culinary Institute of America. I really liked Martha's Vineyard, but it's just too expensive there. What else? I recently took a bit of time to go see my Uncle Paul and Aunt Laura down in Georgia while there at a Conference for work. They are doing very well and have a very nice house. Uncle Paul also has a Harley Road King. If there was any possible way, I'd definitely have seperated that from him and packed it into my luggage for the return trip! Heh heh. Also, recently saw Keb Mo again. Damn he puts on a great show. Listen to him if you like the blues. Do it. Do it now. Anyway, there you have it. For now.......

Sep. 16, 2000 - Hello from Albany where it's been Fall since about April. We have had no summer to speak of this year. But we made the best of it. Rob's Labor Day party had a great turnout and kicked some major ass this year. Lots and lots of food was consumed, but being the nice wholesome youths we are, nothing else, of course. Heh. You know, 4:00 AM swims in chilly Adirondack lakes do wonders for sobering you up. Just thought I'd mention it. Speaking of dips in the lake, ask Ralph about his two - yes, count 'em - TWO unscheduled - this being the best part - introductions to that lake. Damn funny stuff. It was excellent to see everyone there. Oh yeah - check out the pics page that is for Weevil. I put up something nice for him. Not too much else to say right now. I'll be back ... whenever I get back to this.

Aug. 04, 2000 - Made a couple of big ticket purchases lately. Actually, one wasn't so big, an older Whirlpool Washer and Dryer set we bought from a couple moving out of our complex. It's very nice to have them in the apartment and not have to cart baskets of laundry around, trying to get down to the laundry room and back during a commercial in whatever I'm watching. But the big purchase we made was buying Katie a car. We bought a purple 1998 Dodge Stratus. It's pretty much a base model with somewhat higher mileage (39k miles) and a peppy 4-cylinder, but has A/C and Cruise control. It was a decent price and a good looking car (Dodge has great styling nowadays), so we took the plunge! Most importantly, Katie really liked the car. And I want either a Durango, Ram, or Intrepid R/T (if I don't get a truck) for my next vehicle - sometime next century - heh. Speaking of Katie, she's working as a dental assistant in Albany now and is getting ready to start Massage Therapy school in October. She may need volunteers to practice on. Unfortunately for all of you, I have that market cornered. Anyway, take care until next time.

Jul. 19, 2000 - It's been quite some time since I last wrote in, but hey, I've been busy. Getting married takes up some time, ya know! Well - that's got to be the biggest News I've got to share. As of May 27, I'm (unfortunately for all the ladies clamoring for my attention) off the market. In an absolutely gorgeous ceremony (complete with a few Priest flubs and bloopers) I married my sweetheart of the past 6 years and Katie Decker became Katie Giamalis. The Reception was wonderful as both families got into it, with lots of dancing, eating, drinking, and (of course - if you know my friends you'd know why I say that) lots of sheer sillyness and stupidity. You couldn't ask for any more. After that, it was off to Ireland for a couple of weeks of what has to be some of the most spectacular sightseeing the world has to offer. We went to lots of ancient places including lots of old ruined monasteries and abbies, ruined and restored castles, kissed the Blarney Stone, the Cliffs of Moher, attended Medeival Banquets, Celtic stone circles (some predating the Pyramids), Dublin and Guiness, and (one of my personal favorite things ever) - flew hawks! I took my cousin's digital camera and brought home a whopping 824 shots, in addition to the 8 rolls Katie took. I have a few photos up on Yahoo! in my Honeymoon Album. There's only 20ish right now, but I'll be putting more up there, as well as at some other addresses (got to find space). I'll be changing the once-upon-a-time Wedding "Countdown" page to cover the Ceremony, Reception, and Honeymoon as time allows. It will have all kinds of good info and links to tons of pictures. So there's no point in me trying to put everything in this news item. As for the bachelor parties - Rafting is one of the best times you can have with a group of friends. Everyone loved it and thought it was one of the best things they'd ever done. You can head over to the Pics page for some shots from the first raft. I'm still waiting to get the shots from the second. And as to the deep sea fishing - well, my Dad and I caught flounders, my Uncle Charlie caught a skate (garbage fish), and everyone else went bust. All I can say is - "Who's your Daddy!?!" So for now, signing off. And as my life is finally getting less hectic - there will be more updates to this site more often.

Apr. 26, 2000 - It's been about a month since my last update. I was busily learning a bit about how to use a new Web Page development package, designing a nice DHTML menu for converting this page to frames, and finding a place to move the pages to so that I could begin to use Java Applets. Katie had her New York shower and we received many more wonderful gifts. One month and one day left. I'm getting pumped up for my bachelor parties. Yep, that's right, partIES. As in plural. One with all of my psychopathic friends, and one that is more laid back so I can spend some time with my Dad, Grandfather, Godfather, Uncles, and all the "older crowd". Anyway, I'm looking for more cool stuff to add to the site. I have a Web Search deal on the Test page. Now that I have it on servers that allow me to do more, I plan on taking advantage of it. I will be in Florida this weekend for a wedding. I wonder if anyone would miss me if I slipped on out and went fishing instead? For the Greeks out there, Happy Early Easter. For the regular Easter crowd, Happy Late Easter. For the Jews, Happy Passover. For everyone else, Happy Whatever.

Mar. 29, 2000 - A brief update today. Actually, I wear boxers. Briefs are too constricting. Katie's CT shower has come and gone and we were glad so many people showed up. We received some very nice and thoughtful gifts and want to thank you all. Her NY shower is in a couple of Saturdays. Also over the weekend, I turned 27. I need to get a .wav file of TAPS to play here. Yep, I have left the mid-twenties and officially entered the late-twenties. I might as well just pack it up and call it a life. Heh heh. But anyway, some site news is that I have added a Forum page. It is a discussion page sort of thing where you can post questions or topics of discussion, respond to other posts, or look for answers to questions you may have that have already been asked. It's opening theme is Computer Help. Take a look, see what you think. More site addidions will be coming. And since I haven't gotten any feedback, I think I will be going to frames. If you use an antiquated browser that does not support them, Get with the program! Upgrade that damn thing you have and join us in the present era! That will be coming soon. At any rate, I'll be back here someday soon. Out.

Mar. 17, 2000 - Yeah, I know I've been pretty bad about updating the site lately. Lots going on as we get closer to the wedding. Always running around doing stuff for it. I promise to update more though, at least every couple of weeks. In fact, I'm looking for a cool JAVA menu to implement, except that Spree will not allow the uploading of JAVA ".class" files. I'll have to figure out what to do about that - ignore JAVA menus, move the site, .... I've also been thinking that I may well revamp the site as a whole. What do you think of frames? Like them or hate them? Email me if you have an opinion. I plan on adding a few more pages in the not-so-distant future as well. Doughboy, you know what I'm thinking about! And I plan on trying some new backgrounds. Other than that, 8 days until the mile marker that brings me one year closer to death - I'll be 27 on March 25. Damn. Bones and joints are aching. Hearing is going. Eyesight is terrible. I'm a mess, let me tell you. I'm hoping to buy or borrow a digital camera for the honeymoon so that I'll have some good photos from Ireland to post here when we get back. Opening day (fishing) is April 1. Got a full day of trout fishing planned. Then the next day is WWF Wrestlemania! Now that's a manly weekend if ever there was one. Anyway, I have other places to see, things to go, and people to do.

Feb. 03, 2000 - Yesterday, 02/02, Groundhog Day, was Katie's birthday! It was also one of my close friends Paul's birthday. So a Happy one goes out to both. What's going on with me recently? Not too much. Had a small Superbowl party. Good friends, good food, and great beer. Now those are things that were just meant to go together. My car is in the shop again - much to everyone's shock and amazement - NOT. I think the dealer that has screwed me over so much wouldn't know how to perform good repairs and good customer service if I wrote out explicit instructions and imbedded them into the heads of their managers using a sledgehammer. My Honeymoon is getting the finishing touches on the layout. Here's links to a couple of sites showing a pair of castles we will be staying at: Dromoland Castle and Ashford Castle. We're also going to go to the famous Bunratty Medieval Banquet. I know, you're saying "Enough Already." OK. That's it then. Until next time...

Jan. 17, 2000 - Things have slowed down again since the hectic holidays are over. But things are picking up again with regards to my wedding. Getting busy with that now. Let's see - for those of you I told to stop using my 69daytona email account, it has finally been fixed, so it is usable again. Not a heck of a lot else to tell today, so I'll keep this update short.

Jan. 3, 2000 - Well, Christmas has come and gone. Y2K has come and gone. And I'm still here to continue babbeling about things that have come and gone. I split the holiday week between CT and NY. Spent a lot of time driving and delivering presents. Christmas season is too much work. But Christmas dinner is always good. Except for when your grandfather takes a bunch of your money in nickel poker! And Y2K - as I predicted - was a non-event. Oooooooh, Aaaaaaah. *snore* Y2K - BFD as I saw on a recent T-shirt. At any rate, I hope you all had a good and safe holiday season and I wish you all the best in the coming year. BTW - 2000 is not the new millenium, 2001 is.

Dec. 12, 1999 - Not too much new lately. Doing one of the things I absolutely hate - Christmas shopping. It's a HUGE pain, and it seems that the season, despite all the goodness that is supposed to be part of Christmas, turns the vast majority of the population into a bunch of bumbling idiots who shouldn't be allowed out of their padded cells. Especially when getting where they're going means getting behind the wheel of a car. What is it about holidays and the slightest bit of precipitation that causes most people to forget how to drive? But anyway, on to more happy thoughts. Katie is in The Nutcracker again this year at The Egg in Empire Plaza in downtown Albany. There are 3 shows.

• Saturday Dec. 18, 1999 at 2:00PM and 7:30PM
• Sunday Dec. 19, 1999 at 2:00PM

Dec. 6, 1999 - By popular demand, changed the Link color throughout the pages to make them show up better. I'm playing with hexadecimal color definitions to find one I really like, but the one there is OK for now as it does let you see the Link text. Katie and I bought our first Christmas tree together this year. I got a 6.5 foot balsam fir - the real thing, no fakes here - for only $13 from Wal*Mart! Kind of makes you say - "Wow. I wonder what critters I just brought into my place?" Anyway, at least my place smells like balsam fir instead of dirty Steve now. And my cat has lots of new stuff to break and lots of new ways to be a general pain in the butt.

Nov. 30, 1999 - Announced the Almost-Sort-Of-Unofficial opening of my web site today to the general populace of my family and a few friends. Wow. Muy exciting stuff. Can you dig it? OOOOOOOO, YEEEEAAAAHHHHH! Anyway, Thanksgiving was a blast. Good food, good friends, good family, and more good food. Put on some miles on the ol' $#!^Box though. Flipped 104k yesterday on the way home from work. Damn. I'm trying to figure out a good domain name to purchase for the site. But everything I come up with is taken. Even dumbass.com was taken! heh heh Off the top of my head, that's all I can think of. So, until the next update, L8R.

Nov. 22, 1999 - Went to see Arlo Guthrie last night! What a great performer. Told a lot of funny stories. Poked fun at Bob Dillan a bit. His daughter and son played to form a 3-person stage presence. The venue was a smaller music hall as well, which lent a really nice atmosphere. An extremely impressive show. As enjoyable as a GWAR show (however, in a vastly different manner, I might add). City Of New Orleans was the highlight of the show, IMO. He actually didn't play Alice's Restaurant. Didn't want to start a song at the show that wouldn't finish until after Thanksgiving! I'll be in CT on Thanksgiving, so if you're down there, see you then!

Nov. 20, 1999 - Done quite a bit more work on the pages. They're looking good, I think. And my opinion is the one that counts here. Getting pumped up for Thanksgiving. The best holiday, IMO. Mostly, I'm posting right now because I want more than one line on my news page. Exciting, isn't it?

Nov. 15, 1999 - Pages are starting to take shape. Just finished a run of friends' weddings that lasted 1.5 months! Complete with both skydiving and paintball bachelor parties. What a wild ride. Will try to post some pictures once I make a page for them.
