I Stole You Fake Onion

Let's make history.....

Well, it's been a while. A long while. But on the plus side.......yeah, I got nothing.

I had intended to write after returning from the wedding in August. Though my discipline seems to have let me down. I blame you. Yeah, that's right. This is entirely your fault and I expect a card in the mail apologizing for it. Maybe a fruit basket. A lap dance if you're feeling particularly frisky.

First off, a big congratulations to Shawn and Dee. The wedding, all of it in its entirety, was simply awesome. Fun, is the best word to describe it. I'm sure Shawn and Dee might have a few added words to go with my assessment. They having the stress of setting up such an event to deal with. But for folk like me who had nothing more complex than showing up to do, it was pretty sweet.

Ok, so that's not entirely true. Being the best man (seriously!) I did have a couple of duties. One being getting the groom completely sloshed before the wedding. We succeeded in doing this twice, in fact. It's likely that it was the first time that the Republic of Newfoundland was given tribute in the form of a duct tape bra. Yes, I see that look you're giving me. I assure you, it was not my idea. Nor was the blow up sheep. Or the crown and scepter. Though I may have had a hand in the cape.

Stop judging!

On a side note, I find myself cursing the fact that I've waited so long to write on this subject. My old age has resulted in many of the details being lost from that demented mind o'mine. Perhaps the alcohol played a part.

Fiddlesticks.

So anyway, I says to Mable, I says.....

Sadly, one of the major drawbacks of living in these parts is coming to the fore once more. We're saying goodbye to a couple of dear friends who are moving on to greener pastures. Well.....green might be optimistic. More likely, whiter pastures as they will not be leaving the arctic climate behind.

You will be missed and I.....we, look forward to our paths crossing down the line once more.

Bring scotch.

....let's make history stop.
