This weekend was a little surreal. Jen and I left early on Saturday morning to drive up to Lindsay. If you want to know where it is, take a look north of Los Angeles and find Bakersfield, then keep going north about another hour. We were headed out to Ann Dehaene and Richard Nelson's wedding. Lindsay is Ann's home town so the wedding was a little church there. Jen and I figured we were going to change at the church or somewhere around lindsay. We made great time on the road and actually stopped in Porterville and checked into our hotel early so we could get ready there.

We headed into Lindsay and found the church. Angelo and Adam were waiting outside. Angelo was actually helping out as the acolyte for the service. His borrowed robe from LMU was so "upscale" that it made him look a little more important than the minister running the show. A few times during the service you could not see the minister at all behind Ann and Richard so it actually looked like Angelo was in charge. :)

During the service at "the peace" after communion everybody greets one another. I was surprised to find Aron Bishop sitting directly behind me and he was just as shocked that he had not noticed me earlier.

Anne and Richard left the church in a convertible 59 edsel. Beautiful car, but we were a little worried about Ann's hair with the top down. I guess they knew all the backroads to get them to the reception without having to drive on the highway. The reception was at a country club just on the edge of Porterville. We grabbed a table where me Jen, Angelo, Adam, Aron, Jeff (he's with Aron) sat. The two extra chairs were eventually taken by Ann's boss and her husband. Everything at the reception was beautiful. The toasts were perfect. So we stayed there almost to the very end.

Then what do you do in the middle of nowhere on a Saturday night. Angelo and Adam were staying at the best western that we were at, so we all said it might be nice to run and grab some food late at night. Well by the time we got moving everything was closed. So... the next best thing to food late at night is Indian Gaming. There's a reservation a couple miles outside of Porterville and that ended up being our new destination. What they don't tell you is that once you get onto the reservation, its still something like a 13 mile drive on a curvy mountain road with no lights on it. Nice road to be on in the middle of the night. So we trek out to the High Mountain Casino. I played nickel slots for short time and we all decided that even thought the place was PACKED, it was not exactly that much fun. The amount of smoke alone in the place just about killed me. We got back on the road and headed back to the hotel. We said our goodbyes to Angelo and Adam and got to bed. BUT, i turned on the TV and ended up watchin the Time Machine til fuck who knows what time.

Today we got on the road and got home really quick. We stopped in the Valencia area (actually i think its Newhal) for a lunch and then kept moving. I was really sure that as soon as i got home i would start workin. NO WAY. I was so tired from driving that i took a 4 hour nap. I'm finally getting back into it now and i need to get a dumpload of work done.

"The Time Machine" was overall not a very good movie, however I like the part when the moon breaks apart and when he meets Jeremy Irons. Fascinating idea, with the human species breeding into two separate castes like that, I really need to read the book. The ending of the movie was pure shit though.

I'm sorry your obligations coincided with the party, but maybe I'll get to see you 'round sometime soon since Jason's finally back! - Bob
