Wifey and I had my newly wed brother and sister-in-law over yesterday up from Long Island. They brought their wedding video with them and we had fun watching it. They were married this past November. Anyhow, we were remarking how well the video was edited, etcetera and they said, "Hey let us see your video." Janine wasn't around back then. So we dusted it off and put it in the VCR. Wifey and I haven't watched that video probably in about 7-8 years I'd guess. We could not believe how much we all have changed over these past 10 years. Wow! Ten years really makes an incredible difference. I mean we knew that, but seeing it on video really made it hit home. So much in our lives have changed. We were both so much younger looking and thinner. Styles have changed much more than I figured. Being a person who really doesn't follow any sort of fashion rules I was surprised to see the differences. Then there were sad moments in the video. There was an entire table full of people who are no longer with us. Actually it was surprising to see how many people had died since then. There was one very eerie part of the video where we were all doing the Can-Can to the song New York, New York and the video guy edited in footage of various scenes of NY City like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. It would fade in and out from us dancing to scenes of the city. Suddenly there was a picture of my college buddy Chris and the scene morphed into a picture of the World Trade Center, the buildings where he was killed on 9-11. That was really creepy and sad. Anyhow the video went on and on. We forgot how much fun our wedding was. It seemed as if our wedding hit a peek time in our extended family's life were everyone was healthy enough to party it up like never before. I don't think there ever was a wedding in our family that had as many people up dancing and goofing off with each other. Everybody was uninhibited. We really had a good band who knew how to keep things going. Andrea's grandmother must have danced the whole night. I was out on the floor boogying with her on and off the whole evening. Danced with her almost as much as Andrea. Anyhow it got me thinking that I have a lot to do. I have to try to make this next ten years all worth while because they will be gone in a flash. I never realized how quickly it goes by and how much changes. I also want to try to get myself back into the shape I was then. Man-oh-man how time flies. -Clappy
