conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

informal thank you

You are where you eat.

There were many amazing things that happened at the wedding. Jane and Cliff have posted brief missives, as have Susie and Justin. Mark spent several days in Virginia before making it to the celebration. I am hoping that he will get a chance to post pictures. So, go to their sights to see what they have to say. I am glad to have had as many bloggers at my wedding as were in attendance at the DNC. What a gift! Did anyone alert the press corps?

Another great gift came in the form of the dining room table pictured. Trish and I have been lusting after it for weeks...months, really. Our sainted friend, Amy Dale decided that something needed to be done about that. So, in her infinite sneakiness, she managed to get a large group of people to give to the Get This Table for Trish and Trish Fund. Many had already given us other gifts. Unbelievable.

When fully extended, the table can seat ten...twelve if you squeeze everyone in by putting two people at each end. When we return from the honeymoon, we will place the order. The generosity of this act is indescribable. I am not sure how to say thank you in a way that will suffice.

So, thanks. This means more than you know. Who wants dinner?

Thank you all. A more formal "thanks" is forthcoming. There are too many people to list in one blog. This is a list of the crazy people who were tempted by Amy's plot. A long-arse list will follow.
