Yikes, its been too long, but alas a busy week has passed. I was only in the office for about 2.3 days this past week, working on revising the small group. Monday night I saw Denison Witmer down at Vaudeville Mews. He is really good, a terrific songwriter. I bought two CDs, both very good, I however would recommend "of Joy and Sorrow," although "Philadelphia Songs" has the greatest CD jacket I have ever seen. Thursday I left for Bloomington, Illinois for one of my former roommate's wedding. As soon as I got there I had to move Ann's (the bride) piano that Adam (the groom) had gotten her, because her family's basement flooded. After that Adam, Kyle (the guy who started the TIU blog revolution), Jeremy (best man), Nate (another roomie and my future RA), Phil (Ann's brother) and I went to Peoria for Uno's pizza and a Peoria Chiefs' baseball double-header. Phil and Jeremy yelled the entire game at the players and batboys. There was the South Bend third baseman, Mayobanex, and the Peoria first baseman John SANTOR!, and of course the shortstop Milko Varamillas. Such slogans were said, "Me Santor, you Jane," "Got Milko?," "Next time don't use preparation H, use Mayobanex!" and so on. Phil convinced the batboy to give him a ball with a, "hey kid, that ball isn't playable anymore" and then attempted, "hey kid, that bat isn't playable anymore," after a walk. It was great, and nearly alcohol-free. We then smoked cigars while Jeremy yelled at a couple making out. Then to Steak and Shake and to bed. Friday we played some home run derby, got tuxes, the other groomsmen showed up (Andrew [tall and beloved roommate] and Josh [sweaty and beloved roommate]), rehearsal, blah blah blah. And then came the big day. Ah Adam and Ann, my ride to church, my baseball buddy and his woman, it was great to see them so happy. It all went off without a hitch and according to plan. I saw Katie for the first time in a while, and lo and behold: no awkwardness!! Amen to that. Although there was one point when we were sitting next to each other and I nearly put my arm around her, that would've been cause for awkwardness, geez, what was I thinking?!? We danced and decorated their car (with whipped cream and 3XL tightie whities) and sent them off. Later that evening some of us hung out, went to Bennigans, parted ways and went to bed. Got up, ate, showered drove home, bought the new Radiohead CD since about 1.4 million of my friends have insisted on me owning it (including NEW head of Trinity Chapel, David Whited!!) so I got it. And that about brings me to this very point of time. Nothing deep today folks, just that. I am getting fairly sleepy, so until next time (and continuing on beyond that), you have my love.
