Rachel & I completed the Mystic Places Marathon relay on Sunday, and… we came in second!
…out of the mixed open relay runners
…for teams of two
…out of two total teams in that category.
Actually, we probably should have registered as “Mixed Family,” but
whatever — the point is we finished in 3:46:34 and loved every minute
of it. In [...]
We got our photos back from Jonathan, and they’re great! I started scanning them, which really doesn’t do them justice, but nonetheless I’m uploading them here. I’ve gotten through about 1/3 of the black-and-whites and hope to finish those by… tomorrow?
Rachel & I were very grateful to have received some wonderful gifts
at our wedding, and we will be starting the storied process of writing
thank-you notes over the next few weeks, inshallah. Most people were aware that we had designated the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter as the near-exclusive “registry,”
on the principle that we didn’t really need [...]
It
seems married life consists primarily of attending other couples’
weddings! We were honored to attend our good friend Theresa and Adam’s
wedding in New Hampshire. Rachel participated as a reader in the very
thoughtful ceremony (”Always the reader, never the bridesmaid”).
In some ways going to the wedding was like an extension on our honeymoon (which was itself built [...]
As of 23:00 4 September 2004, major wedding operations have ended. The

A few weeks ago we fired our florist.
(Technicially, we never hired them, but the sentiment is the same).
Rachel & I were committed to keeping the wedding within budget. We
had allocated $800 for flowers — around here that is a very low price,
but honestly, there are many more worthwhile things
you can do with $800 than blow [...]
Thanks to runoff and other pollution, for the second straight year
clams are dying in mass numbers in Narrangasett Bay. Hopefully this
won’t affect the catering for our wedding.
Note to self: all music from the Democratic National Convention goes on the “Do not play list.”
Or as boingboing calls it, “cakemod.”
After many fruitless trips to Paper Source, refuge of the imaginatively
crippled, we’ve realized that its entire business model rests on
selling every customer the exact same “unique” paper experience. That’s
right, you and 100,000 other couples can send petal invitations that
reflect your own, personal, conformist identity. Thanks, Paper Source!
