The Refer is in the House

Well in the garage anyway. They're coming on Monday to install it (its over 850 pounds). That's the last, biggest, part of the kitchen puzzle. We've still got some painting to do and I've got a reverse osmosis system that we can't seem to get to work, but we'll get that fixed soon. Just think, next week we'll be able to buy a full gallon of milk! You just never realize how you'll miss the simple things until you don't have them.

Here I am as the officiant at Josh and Jen's wedding. I loved the theatre, especially the star lights on the ceiling. What an honor it was to do this for these two wonderful people.

Paula found a dog sitter that deals only with dogs 20 pounds or less. That's perfect for our Elphaba. I don't remember every owning a dog that was quite so fragile before. She really can't play with bigger dogs. She's basically a squeek toy to them. But here's the funny thing. The sitter is only 3 blocks away from us. We walked over to visit yesterday to see if it was a good match. It was so funny to see these toy dogs running and playing. I think that Elph will have so much fun there that she won't want to come home. We can now relax about our coming trip to NY. We'll ship Clyde up to Paula's Brother in LA and with Elphy frolicing among the toy dogs, we can relax and enjoy the Big Apple.

We'll be able to see Josh and Jen while we are there too. Last time we were there we stayed with them and went to a couple of shows with them including The Blue Man Group, and Urban Cowboy, the Musical. Blue Man is so cool. If it ever comes to Reno, get your tickets and open your minds. Urban Cowboy was one of the most spectacular flops of all time. I'm so glad we saw it and it was very entertaining in a watching-a-bus-go-over-the-cliff sort of way. Thankfully I don't think there's any chance of that one showing up in Reno. If it does, ignore it. We are among the few people in the world that would find it entertaining. I guess our sick enjoyment is a product of knowing the people and companies involved in the creation and management of a project like that.

You can imagine how great these folks wedding pictures are. Check out the backdrop of Balboa Park.
