The Red Brick Times

Hey! Marsha is a mother-in-law! Josh got married last Saturday in Chicago to his very long time domestic associate, Ryan. The wedding was worthy of magazine coverage. Can't remember a more perfect social function from beginning to end. Party at Ryan's father's house Friday night, wedding Saturday at the Chicago Racquet Club, and brunch Sunday hosted by the groom's parent's at the LuxBar on Rush St. not a single glitch or unpleasant moment in the entire affair. Will post pictures as they become available.

I've seen pictures of you in formal getup. You look almost... establishment. And that is a departure from known reality. Glad the fete flew famously. This was a very important event for all concerned. My congrats and best karma to the gride and broom.

Nothin' like a famously flown fete, that's what I always say (quickly, five times). Congrats indeed.

Hey, wait a minute. This means Marsha has the potential to become a granny-lady. Gee, that Marsha sure is gettin' old.

Y'know, now that I've had time to reflect (and get some coffee in me) that "not a single glitch or unpleasant moment in the entire affair" part makes it sound, let's be honest here, a tad on the dull side. Not that there's anything wrong with that mind you, but it does show a certain lack of foresight in that you now don't have any conversation starters for future in-law get togethers. This could have been avioded simply by inviting a carload (or two) of your old pals. We're talking a wealth of cherished memories sharable for years to come. Some examples:

"Remember when that Whatley fellow exposed himself to the bridesmaids?" (chuckle chuckle) "Gotta admit, he sure is hung." (blush blush)

"Tony told me later that the tall bald one with the beard had never been drunk before!" (shocked amazement) "That would explain a lot." (general agreement) "Remember how much trouble we had comming up with the bail money?" (nods all around)

Well, you get the idea, and I'm sure you won't make the same mistake at your daughters wedding.

Far from dull fellows, far from dull. Danced till one, then the young prople hit the town it full regalia closing one of the local watering holes at about 4 am. Rising to the occassion of brunch at 10 with no loss of sparkle.

The Old School(house) Gang was, somewhat staidly, represented by BJ. The kids did the guest list and I, who wasn't footing the considerable bill, had limited input into the roster. Hell, I'm lucky I was there.

Josh and his island buddies were able to recount a tale of dispatching an automobile injured deer with a broken beer botle and then tossing it off a cliff with one of their buddies still hanging on to its hind leg engendring an Indiana Jones moment for all involved. The prep-school crowd was awed.

Then there is the episode of the Knickerbocker Knocker . . .

After the headache goes away, one of you will have to tell me about the "bail" incident...

Shit. I can't remember any of it. Maybe that explains how the bike wound up with the "must jarried" sign spray painted on the back. And the trunk full of bridesmaids' shoes. Damn. Is this what I have been missing all these years?
