You, too, Tom

Posted on by

Our friends, Tom and Alissa, are getting married next weekend! We couldn’t be more excited for them. They’ve even asked me to particpate in their celebration by being the best man.

Being best man is an honor that I don’t take lightly. Signing the witness statement, encouraging the groom, holding Alissa’s wedding ring, and making the best man speech are important responsibilities for the day to go smoothly.

But, the Bachelor Party: this is something we must ensure brings the greatest nobility and respect to our dear friend, who is about to embark upon a new milestone of adulthood. And, just for the record, I happen to have video evidence of just how my groomsmen — _including_ Tom — brought this same honor upon me. Tom has helped set the bar for the level of dignity which we might now, four years later, be privileged to bestow upon him.

I can’t wait. ;-)

Tradition

Posted on by

So, in the fine tradition of blogging “about sandwiches”:http://textism.com/article/798/monty-you-terrible-word after long “blogging absences”:http://kennsarah.net/2006/07/30/one-thing-rethinking-on-the-radar/#comment-1875, I’m pleased to report that I finally had the long-coveted “PB&J sandwich”:http://www.panera.com/familynutritionalprofile.aspx?familyid=228 at Panera. I’ve been debating ordering this from the kids menu since they started offering several weeks ago. First, some highlights:

* Yes, I did feel a little stupid ordering it
* But, only after the guy behind the counter asked if I wanted apple juice or chocolate milk
* I got a fountain drink instead
* The sandwich had grape jelly on it
* I would have preferred strawberry
* The bread was awesome
* It came with chips
* I wasn’t offered (nor did I ask for) the squeezable yogurt

All in all, it was _really_ good. And, given that my entire Panera lunch cost me a whopping $3.28 (!), I’d totally do it again.

Totally unrelated: I know I haven’t been _blogging_ per se, but I have been digging. Check the links over at the left. If you need the feed, “here it is”:http://digg.com/rss/kwalker411/index2.xml.
