So, it's been a while. Since last I bothered to update this, I've moved into a new house, enrolled in business school, and most recently, gotten married. So, where to begin? Let's begin with the marriage thing.

The wedding was absolutely everything I could have hoped for. It was so awesome that, well, you ever had one of those moment in your life where you sort of felt like a spectator? Like you felt like "This couldn't possibly be happening to me, because it's too happy."

If you haven't, you're totally missing out.

So the wedding ceremony was fabulous. The bride was looking especially radiant. The church was beautiful. The ceremony was in Latin, using the usus antiquior, the Tridentine mass, or whatever it's called these days. I continue to appreciate the old mass the more familiar I get with it. My favorite part was when we were invited past the rail (yes! They have a rail!) to kneel by the altar for a blessing. And I discovered, to my suprise, that I'm actually starting to pick up some Latin! I actually understood most of it. Well, about half of it.

The reception at the Palm House in lovely Tower Grove Park about a block away from the new house was also fantastic. The food was delicious. The incidental non-dance music was excellent. The photographer took some good pictures and managed not to be obtrusive. There was lots of drinking but no fist fights. My niece was about the most adorable flower girl in the history of weddings. She almost stole the show from me! That's how adorable she was!

So now it's on to married life. And if the begining of something has any bearing on how things are going to be in the future, married life should be awesome as well.

I could go on and on, but I think I'll leave it at that. Pictures soon! The lovely blushing bride was especially lovely that day.

I got another anouncement. I've gotten into the fast-paced, exciting world of podcasting. This seems like a natural progression. I first started putting music together in the early 90's, on cassette tape. Then I started using mp3's instead of CD's, burning CD-R's. And now this.

The first one is now available. You can find it here:

As I mention in there, I'm doing themes. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free to drop me a line. Which you can do at .

Enjoy!
