Not for any other reason than I just haven&#8217;t sat down to this here blog to run at the mouth.</p>
<p>Memorial Day week was nothing eventful, our houseguest that had arrived the week before left on Weds. The week just kinda rolled along. I always find that the short weeks ALWAYS feel like the longest when it comes to work. It didn&#8217;t help that it was month end as well.</p>
<p>Last weekend one of my dear friends <a href="http://iamwalter.blogspot.com/">Walt</a> and his husband Ken tied the knot. Now after 18 years I say it&#8217;s about damn time but things in his life within the past year made this journey a difficult one. We were lucky enough to be able to attend the post wedding party and share in their joy.</p>
<p>It was a quick overnight trip up to where they live, party party party, sleep, enjoy a leisurely breakfast with them and some of the other out of town guests, then a crappy drive home in the rain and thunder on Sunday afternoon. Some of their out of town houseguests were some other friends Freddy and Jed and their 2 boys (who are cute as all get out). We hadn&#8217;t yet met the boys, and it has been a few years since we had seen Freddy and Jed.</p>
<p>It was a wonderful time and I wish Walt and Ken many many more years of happiness, or just liking or tolerating each other.</p>
<p>Last night we had the pleasure of attending a new local monthly Social Night. This was the 2nd such event, the first one we missed last month. We had a really great time meeting a bunch of new people. The organizers of the event were really happy with the turnout as well. I believe this will be a new event for us, although it happens to be on a Monday night which is a school night, I think we can still have a good time and not over due it.</p>
<p>This week is heavy on the Drum Corps activities. I have a parade Weds night and Saturday afternoon and then a Flag Day Ceremony on Sunday. Saturday also happens to be Gayme Night, and Sunday is our turn at hosting the Revolving Brunch so the socializing will continue.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about it to report here, wish it were more exciting!</p>
