Hi.  I’m back.  I’ve been back for about ten days.  I’m overwhelmed right now with starting the semester and going through 10 million kajillion photos and tending to our wily overgrown garden and planning the event in October.  BUT…. you can go here if you want to see all the photos that the wonderful McAlister took (and compiled from M&T and Dr. Rock Girl & Francis).  (Francis is not his real name.  In fact, it’s probably not my place to call him Francis.  But I can’t think of any nicknames for him, other than The Dude, and that one’s already taken for one of John’s best friends  Dr. RG?  Thoughts?)

Basic rundown:

The ceremony took place (stealthily!) at Ft. Funston.  It was 20 minutes long.  Then we had cocktails at Top of the Mark and Dinner at Greens.  I will post about that later.  (The lesson of that post, however, is don’t drink on an empty stomach when you know you have a nervous stomach in the first place.  Sorry, Greens.)  Then we went to Thailand and Cambodia.  (Pics to come later.)

Was it precisely what I wanted?  You bet your ass it was.  Would I have done anything differently?  See the above parenthetical note.  Would I have done anything substantively differently?  Nah.

And now on to The BBQ.
