Wild & Crazy

So Brad drew my attention to this the other day. Probably one of the cooler things I've seen available on the Internet. Check out the website, you'll be shocked at what's to come.

LAWS

Law of Organization: No matter how much prep, detail and effort go into maintaining order; innate behavioral choices will always negate prior variables, ending in disorder, clutter, and a reliable condition of filth.

The Column

**Happenings** SP has taken on the position of self-proclaimed resident traffic officer in the Shire. Things have been getting a bit out or hand in the city with the ever-increasing temperature, and so has the Guru's tolerance for absurd behavior. Residents of the Shire have seen SP on many occasions take things into his own hands. One incident over the weekend involved dashing into traffic to stop the cross-town flow in order to let an ambulance that had been stuck a block back with it's 4,000 sirens, buzzers, horns, and whatever other noise making devices they could hide under the hood, to proceed. Of course people holding up traffic couldn't believe what they were seeing. Some thought he was trying to kill himself, while several cabbies thought it was a challenge of some sort. Even after holding back the oncoming traffic a simple waive to the cars holding up the noise machine wouldn't suffice. Baffled he causally lifted his middle finger, which triggered their innate response to drive fast and out of control thus freeing the ambulance. Other occasions haveinvolvedd him knocking on the windows of SUV drivers who insist on parking their cars in a space suitable for a child's tricycle. Usually after the SUV driver smashes loose the bumpers of the surrounding cars, SP will approach calmly, rubbing a key along side of the vehicle. He then proceeds to knock on the divers side window, asking the driver if he/she thinks it such a good idea to park in the space, which of course they answer, "I'm practically in." He suggests they leave quickly before someone notices they've knock off the bumpers of the surrounding cars; all the while clueless to the newly etched cavern on the side of their monster truck, and thanking him for not reporting them. So if you find yourself in the Shire, beware of your traffic manners, because he's out there regulating.

FACE

Glad to see some of you contributed this week. Brad took it to a new level by leaving the paint brushes behind and taking a stroll through the stencil box. Caroline holding the bar way above our heads with her amazing painting skills. Rich makes his debute with some wild pencil art. They all look great.

Phase One-The Shower/Engagement Party

So on Saturday I rolled out to NJ with Mr. Ross to attend a surprise wedding shower/engagement party for my sister and her fiance, Matt. A good time was had by all, the wedding is highly anticipated.


The setting of the surprise and party.


Those who arrived early enjoying the nice weather out on the deck.


Managed to get the goofy pictures out of the way.


Mr. Ross meet Mr. Smith


"David"


So after standing with the camera up and ready for like 15 minutes, she finally arrived. We had been under the impression that she would be walking through the door at any second. It's a weird sensation thinking someone is going to appear for an extended duration of time.


Once the initial shock wore off it was smiles all day long.


Big hug from Mr. Ross. "Congratulations!" "Oh Brad thanks for coming."


"Hi, I'm Matt. I mean Doug, and I'm friends with Doug, I mean Matt."


A little mingling before lunch, don't mind if we all do. Marty, Matt's father in the yellow blazer, and Catherine, Matt's mother in the pink scarf.


Lunch begins, and it was quite good too.


The sisters.


2/3 of the Bridal Party.


"Carla whatever are you talking about?"


"Why don't we head out to the deck for drinks and give them their gifts."


"Dave are you sure you know how to use that thing?"




"You know back in my day..."


Everyone looks ready for the gift session.


"Bring on the gifts!"


"Here ya go, I hope you like them"


"Oh how sweet."


The Organizers, who did a knock out job, truly.


Quick shot of the bling.


"Still haven't put down the camera yet, have we Dave?"


Father and Son.


Matt making the rounds, thank you, thank you, thank you.


Matt grabbing a quick kiss from my mother.

--Stay tuned there could be a part two if I get more pictures from Carla, otherwise, the Wedding will make for an epic entry. Don't forget to send in your smiley faces for tomorrow, Brad.
