Lisa and Mike’s wedding was great! Aside from a couple of glitches – including one of the bridesmaid’s cars running out of oil and Denis misplacing the bowtie for his tux – everything went swimmingly well. I continue to be amazed at the capacity of our Jetta’s trunk – they got a ton of gifts, and all but the largest managed to fit in the trunk of our car! Of course, Kate’s bad luck (the oil-free bridesmaid) seems to have transferred to Denis – not only did he lose his bowtie, but last night he got pulled over for a dead taillight. Oh, well.

An amazingly strange coincidence happened, too. My brother was in Ohio for a field band competition, and his band visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. As they were leaving, he noticed a large wedding party pull up in a trolley bus. As we were getting out of the trolley bus at the Hall of Fame, I noticed a large group of high school students boarding their bus. It’s really too bad neither of us thought to look for the other – we only realized it when we both got home last night. Weird!
