Just a quick check in to say howdy to all and greetings from a very sunny and windy Calgary, AB. Your intrepid blogger and the Misses will be attending Br. Scott’s wedding on Saturday. As well as a BBQ dinner in honor of the upcoming nuptials tomorrow night. I don’t have a Blackberry or iPhone so there will be no tweets/mini-post updating live from the wedding.

I read “Misses” as “Mises” and got really excited.
Then I got deflated.
Have an excellent time and I hope the food is wonderful!Report
Let’s be clear: the quality of food will be surpassed only by the quality of people present. I do have an iPhone, but the likelihood of my sending updates is minimal given how little time I’ve had for blogging all this week. But there wil likely be pictures and stories following.Report
The main question I will want answered is this:
Did cake go up the nose?Report
Bon voyage, Scott! Give him hell, Chris. That’s what you pastorly types do, isn’t it?Report
Now, I know that the two dudes who are there are too busy doing jello shots and dancing/crying to Michael Jackson songs at the reception to give an update…
But is anyone else available to give an update about how things went down? (Did cake go up the nose???)Report
(Well, I hope that Scott only showed up for the first 30 minutes of the reception then ran off for a while… but when he came back, I mean.)Report
