Silent Running
As you’ve probably guessed, the blog’s been silent for the past week
because I’ve been getting ready for my wedding on Saturday. Things are
a little less crazy and I hope to write about what I’ve been up to in
my remaining hours as a free man.
I’ve been in Boston since Monday afternoon, staying with Wendy at her
parents’ place. Her folks are wonderful people and have made me feel
like one of the family (and yes, Mom, I’ve been helping clear the table
after dinner). Earlier this morning, I received a very sweet “on this
momentous occasion in your life” letter from
Mom and Dad.
The earliest of the early birds arrive tonight (Wednesday night); some
of my family from both Manila and Toronto should be in Camrbridge by
tomorrow night (Thursday). The wedding rehearsal will take place on
Friday, followed by a dinner for the wedding party and then a dessert
party to which all the out-of-town guests are invited. The big event, as the countdown
clock in the upper left-hand corner of this web page will show you, is
on Saturday.
I’ll try to squeeze in a quick post whenever I can, but there are no
guarantees. You know how it is with these life-changing ceremonies…

See you tomorrow; can't wait!
You know what's kind of sad? I'd almost completely forgotten it was so soon. I'm still sort of in denial over the whole it's-September-already bit.
Both of yous, have a great day Saturday!
Best of luck Joey! Hope everything goes as planned!!

Congratulations!
Joey and Wendy,
Thanks for a great time in Boston. You're amazing together and you know how to throw one hell of a good party! Looking forward to seeing you both back in TO. (You know it's a good party when it motivates a Luddite like me to post something!)
