BTW...Welcome back...! Hope you had a great time! Weddings are always fun. Or should be, anyhow...<g>

Thanks. So you like weddings; I'm afraid, like politics, we are not on the same page. I hate them. But my wife makes a terrific point. She argues that our extended families get together on two occasions--weddings and funerals (if I've typed this before, please stop me). And we should go to the former, the better to handle the latter. So I go. And try not to look displeased. But you can imagine that my "trying" gets communicated.

But I won the ping pong match. At least the doubles. One thing that happens on these get togethers is that I play ping pong with my two brothers and some other poor soul we can rope in to make it a doubles. It's always great fun, always gets more intense than it should, and is remembered with just the right amount of ambivalence.
