I went to Colorado for a lean six sigma class. It was very enjoyable
and I met a lot of interesting people. I could not get my Linux RCA
Cambio to connect to the captive portal WiFi at the hotel, so I broke
my own no television rule and watched a bunch of American Pickers
episodes.
On Friday, the last class session ended at noon. I hit the road for
Wyoming immediately. I arrived around 1715 in Rock Springs. My mother
was already in town for the wedding and was waiting for me at my
house. It was good to see her and very good to be home. My daughter
that was to be married on Saturday was also over. She dyed her hair
and handled miscellanious decorating pieces. She had lost her voice
due to stress. I pulled a battery powered guitar amp and mic out of
my studio for her to use as a PA during her vows so she could be
heard.
On Saturday, I retyped my script and glue-sticked it in a moleskine
wih a nice leather cover. At 1400 we went to the park and set up
chairs and decorations. I am happy that I did not kill myself climbing
up the gazebo to hang the garland.
At 1500 The wedding happened. I have never officiated a wedding
before, but everything went perfectly. The only issue was the high
winds and cold temperatures. I was very proud of my daughter and my
new son.
Then came the reception. It was held at the Holiday Inn in a hall.
We had a friend of my daughter perform DJ duties and there was a
lot of money placed on the bar tab. The gin was good, but the tonic
water was flat. I danced with my daughter for the father/daughter
dance, also with my wife, my 12 year old daughter, her BFF that
lives with us, and it was a really lovely time.
I also learned last night that seasoned butter on steak is delicious.
I need to buy some!
