Well, as a father I happen to like having a daughter, and Abby was especially cute saying, “Happy Fathers Day.” I think it was Shari who also taught her how to say, “Sup Dawg.” So Abby is learning a lot of things here and she is having a great time with cousin Brennan.

I got to see a long list of people at the Katzorke-Peterman wedding – I was an usher along with my brother and so I got to seet folks – which gave me a whole 45 seconds to chit chat and tell them that I like Colorado. Colorado was the major question I got asked about.

“How do you like Colorado?”

“I hate it.”

“Really? Why?”

“Because it seems like a nice place and if it is a nice place then it means that any day now I’ll be unplugged from the Matrix by swallowing the red pill [Nyquil].”

“Follow the white Rabbit.”

Speaking of rabbits I haven’t seen any here for some time so I hope that we’ll be able to take a walk when I get back and go for a long bunny counting walk and see 29 bunnies – a new record for a bunny walk (28 is the current record).

Sponge Bob Square Pants has been the DVD of choice for the kids and “Madame Blueberry” [Veggie Tales] the VHS video of choice. I have seen all 10 episodes of Sponge Bob at least 2 times if not 3-5 for some of them.

That is all for now – class is dismissed.

Today at the wedding my grandpa got up in front of the church and started the ceremony and shortly got to the part that normally starts with, ‘Who gives this woman…?’ but instead said,

“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?”

That took us all by surprise, but was well worth it.

OK, that’s a lie (but you knew that already). Becky’s wedding starts in a couple hours and so we’ll see how it goes. My Uncle and Aunt and cousins were in a minor accident yesterday afternoon that could have proven fatal if any of the elements were different. A semi with a trailor full of glass spilled its load 5 car lengths from them. The glass slid and hit their car but had it been going faster or landed closer to them it may have very well cut them up. Fortunately they were OK and their vehicle received only minor damage.

I’ll report more later.

The Internet is broken in Carson City. Not really broken, but at least I’ve had a hard time getting online. I finally broke down and am dialing up via AOL temporarily (again). Fortunately I can use my sister-in-law’s account to connect. The wedding is tomorrow and I can’t wait to see the way things go down, it should be fun.

See you later!

My brother is trying to install new doors here at his house in CC. The problem is that the moron at the lumber shop apparently doesn’t know how to mill the doors so that out of 12 doors none of them have worked so far for their djambs. Either the hinge groove is in the wrong place or the latch doesn’t line up with the hole. Gotta love incompetance, it gives you an oportunity to feel smart even over things like measurements. The guy at the lumber yard explained that he didn’t know what 3/32nds were. (Run for your life, he’s working with power tools).

Tonight approximately around 9:15 we’re flying from Denver International Airport to Reno – Tahoe International Airport. Fortunately we’re going to stay at the Chateau de Peterman with a lovely view of cows and a Mormon Snake Center. Also, we’ll be attending the marriage ceremony of Kurt Katzorke and Becky Peterman. My brother Ed and I will be in the wedding – we will be wearing tu-tu’s and assisting the flower girls lift the heavy flower petals.

I have been charged with bringing the music for the ceremony – I fit it all on one DVD. I fit nearly 4.7 gigabytes of legal MP3’s onto a DVD so that people can schuck and jive as needed.

I must go now or they’ll discover the hole I’ve tunneled into your cell.
