Legalize Clownsnack.....

......just because.

We put Xmas stuff away today. I know it's late (or, for some, early) but with the wedding and everything this is the first chance we've had.

So my living room is somewhat back to normal.

Anybody want a piano?

Welcome Alumni.....

.....you perverts.

The folks that worked at my college radio station have been burning up the internets lately.

So, we set up a blog.

That's where us old folks go. :)

Dearly Beloved......

Toby and Melanie got married yesterday.

Friday night was rehearsal. I zoomed home from work and we headed up to McClure. This towns claim to fame is that Davy Jones from the Monkees has a farm there. My niece ran into him in a bar up that way one time.

Anyway, I digress.

We all got together and rehearsed, then went to one of the anterooms and had lasgana, quite tasty.

We headed to the EMS building in Mifflintown to set up for the reception and I fell in love. With the lighting. They have a professional control system and 8 leko's that we're made in this century. Very easy to set up. I had no idea I was running into this so it was kinda like xmas for me. They had a mirror ball, so we put a few lamps on that and set up a few lights for a spotlight dance. There were colored strips on the stage that we're hard wired. It would be nice to break them out over the dance floor, but we take what we get.

I would KILL to have that setup at the high school. Bump and chase capability. Just fantastic. Margaret has talked about doing her show up there, but has a few problems with the physical plant. Maybe I can talk her into it.

Anyway, I digress......again.

They did an outdoor type thing. There was an archway at the entry, a lovely "piece" over the dance floor and behind the head table. I'll put some pics up after I finish this.

We worked into the evening. Talking to the kids later, we realized that their alcohol setup was limited, so we offered to go pick some up for them.

We went home after everything was up.....around 11 or so. Had a lot of fun putting stuff up too.

We got up and headed into the liquor store before noon. Billy met us in there and we made our selections. We then headed to the distributor and got the kegs and set up. Dropped stuff at the building, headed home to change.

Then went over to get the inlaws and went back up to McClure. I got roped into doing video, so I got to set in front of the crowd, but I did get some great shots. It was a 4:30 wedding and it was very nice.

The most interesting thing was, at the end, the bride and groom dismissed the rows. So instead of a receiving line, you got to greet them an go.

We wrapped everything up and headed back to the inlaws to change, then into the EMS building. The dj's were good, but it was WAY too much country music for my taste. I worked with them a little bit to get the lights the way they wanted.

Then we partied.

I got to meet Toby's friends, who are very cool. In fact, I got invited to a party on St. Patty's day and I'm going. :)

Everyone had a splendid time. We tore down the alcohol and headed home. I'm thinking about opening a bar. :)

Check out the picblog for some wedding pics.

Shoo the kids outta the room.

My Tree......

....blew away.

Seriously.

We took the xmas stuff down last week. It's been too windy or raining to burn the tree, so it's been sitting just off of our porch. Actually, it's been wedged between the porch and the bush.

Anyway, we have severe wind warnings tonite. The winds are supposed to be 25/35 mph with gusts to 50.

I heard a noise on the porch and went out to check. Our trashcans fell over, but I noticed the tree isn't there.

I came in and asked Deb if she did anything with it, she said no.

You have to understand. I've looked all around my house. Used a flashlight and looked up and down the road.

I can't find my tree.

I'll take a look tomorrow.

If you see my tree, say hi for me.

(yeah, I know it rhymes)

If you're really nice to me....

I'll give you syphillis.

Here's another cool link.

Karma Can Suck

We are flying into a new year.

Had dinner with both newly engaged couples on Saturday. A local nouveau cuisine restaurant that was very good.

Billy stopped by last night and we exchanged gifts. I can finally stop worrying when I hear the reports from Iraq.

Speaking of Karma. Without getting into specific names. A family that treated me very badly is finally getting their comeuppance. The youngest son is up on an aggravated indecent assualt charge. This stems from involvement with an 11 year old.

That'll screw up your political career. :)

It really couldn't happen to a more deserving family.

You know what they do to those guys in prison, right?

:)

We are...

....11 and 1.

At 1 am, it's finally PSU 26, FSU 23. The battle of the crappy field goal kickers. :)

Really a good game, if you're not a fan of either team.

Sorry I haven't been posting, but it's the holidays and all the associated crap that goes with them.

I'm back at the Harrisburg PO from 9 to 5:30 until further notice.

And on that note, I have to go to beddybye.
