Congrats Jon & Jessica!
Two more friends tie the knot. :) I think things went off without a hitch. Just like a cell phone: great service and fantastic reception. Highlights include:
The day after was the gift opening. The morning was pretty intense, which involved dealing with the deferred firewood delivery, and orchestrating the delivery of the bridal party's gift to the opening (thanks to Stef and her van-driving father!). It was a pretty food-oriented event... somebody made a seafood chowder that was tantamount to heaven-in-a-bowl. I sucked back yet another cigar at this thing (that makes three in a month. Is this now a habit?) with da b'y's outside -- the conversation should have been videotaped I think, and made into a TV show.
Oh, and a brief mention of Friday night, since it was action-laden too. Went on a boat tour with the rest of the bridal party and some of the CFA's right after work. Then headed to Kelly's for (you guessed it) karaoke. It was the last time I'd see J&L before they took off to Boston, so we made a big production out of it. Good times.
Productivity update (this almost became another 'all-booze' post):
Hmmm... a chronologically distorted post. Kinda like a Quentin Tarantino flick, except without all the acclaim.
- Successfully shooing off the firewood guy so that all of us groomsmen could get ready at my place.
- Getting photos done at Jess' parents' place while knocking back a few cold ones.
- Delivering a speech without being booed off the podium.
- Sucking back cheap drinks at the Mess Hall.
- Dancing like a fool for the rest of the night, both at the reception and at the Sundance afterwards.
- Passing out on my couch in a tux.

- My shed floor is practically done. Just gotta pop in a few more screws. Would have done that last night, but again with the rain.
- Got my tub resurfaced! A bit of caulking to do, and a couple of days drying still remains.
- Still staining coffee table legs. To my horror, one of them had a lot of drip down the side so that had to be redone. This is a brutal process: stain one face of each leg, wait 8 hours, restain, wait 8 hours, then do it for each of the 4 faces.
