North to Alaska


On Wednesday, our Summer Tour of Weddings begins with our sojourn to Homer, Alaska (located along the Kenai Peninsula, above, and also hometown of Jay's favorite poetess, Jewell). There I will be the officiant at the wedding of Mike Werts, longtime collaborator and would-be Bastard. Following, we will go to Spokane to be met by Caroline's parents and sister for a Meeting of the Tribes. We'll return to Durham on July 2. I will probably only be able to post sporadically during this time (do they even have the "Internet" in Alaska?). In the very likely event that I am mauled by a bear, overrun by a slowly creeping glacier, trampled by a moose, or kidnapped onto a Russian whaling/vodka boat, it has been a pleasure serving with you.

Adventure awaits, go forth and conquer! Sounds like a pretty amazing trip. I'm guessing you'll reunite with the Young B's in Spok?

That is a plan, but the family stuff has top precedence this year. Hopefully we'll get together for some pics and see how much wrinklier we all are. Is that a word? No.

And wouldn't you just hate it if you were kidnapped by a Russian vodka boat?

Have a good trip; hopefully you can work in that rock 'n' roll reunion. And for the love of Bog, try not to catch the bride's bouquet.

Looks like it's just you and me for awhile, Lurker ...

Me, you and the amorous flies.
