Wedding Season...the sequel

Last weekend wife and I attended another great wedding. This was my close friend's wedding and both he and his wife are Greek. I haven't downloaded the pictures yet, but they will be posted soon. It was particularly cool because I had never been to a Greek wedding before. There was lots of dancing, lots of food, and lots of Greek music. All in all a successful event. I attempted some Greek dancing, without success. I also attempted to take advantage of the open bar, very successfully. I had to leave the ceremony briefly to sit and get a drink of water so I didn't pass out from all the standing. While the bride and groom danced they were showered with dollar bills from the other guests. The reception was at a beautiful golf course in Quincy overlooking Boston. It was the perfect setting. In review, I give the wedding two thumbs up (four if you include wife's thumbs). I love Boston every time we go until I get in a car and try to get somewhere. Then I only like it. I am ready to take a few months off from the wedding tour and gear up for the Fall wedding season.

Panama

It is wedding season. Among the slew of weddings we have attended (are attending) this year, was one two weeks ago in Panama. To keep it brief Panama was a ton of fun. Rain forest tour complete with sloth and monkeys, tour of the canal, resort with cheap drinks, and a unique wedding, were all well worth the trip. The wedding was held in a church built in 1675, which for you historically challenged out there was about a century before our Revolution. It was beautiful, if hot. The reception was something as well, starting around 9:00 and going until 2:00 in the morning. Four different live bands (mariachi, marching, reggae and I guess what was a salsa band). It is always cool getting an insider view of other cultures and our brief look at Panama didn't disappoint.

Finally Recovered

So it was a hectic spring for me. Recovering from the election, inauguration bliss, finishing grad school, looking for a job, getting married, you know, busy. But I will slowly dip my feet back into the whole blogging thing, since I have received emails from the two people who read this...you know who you are. I have a few posts in mind, some more serious than others, but let me start with an ode to pub trivia.
I recently participated in my second pub trivia ever, and it was good. Sure we lost and sure there were not enough history trivia questions (when are there?), but its a great way to spend an evening. Most shameful miss: the name of the Dawson's Creek soundtrack and singer. It's hard to think of music when there is music playing loudly.
