What a time…
Holy crap. I’m not sure that I could ever express how great the last few days have been. I’m not gonna try real hard either.
Chronologically…..
Friday afternoon drive to Olivet in Illinois: old friends; missy’s brother (awesome); hotel of shite.
Saturday drive to mike and lianne’s wedding: bob, johnny, pearl jam; fists in the air; pat on the arm; “awesome”.
Reception: “are we in the right place? there’s nobody here.”; open bar rush; new friends, old friends; mike and lianne; late night drive home.
Sunday Curt: “hello good friend”; omelets at Sunrise cafe; Yellow springs; Thin Red Line; frisbee at wiggley; rain.
Monday with Curt: “Eat the pancake”; “I don’t fit into anything they sell”; drive to columbus; borders and Denison Witmer; Curt greets the Kingdom; Man-joe and fonging.
Tuesday: “Now this is ohio”; tea; Itunes and Ipod; Zeta’s freaking gyros and pita/hummus; goodale park; short north galleries; colored pencils; north market; jeni’s ice cream; “I’m glad you got to see the real columbus curt.” “Yeah, Gahanna sucks…just like its name.”
And now I get to look forward to another wedding and more times with my excellent friends and beautiful, fantastic above all else wife. I’ll be posting some more meaningful comments about my times this weekend soon. Suffice for now that I love my friends…and my wife who shared this weekend with me.

It’s time for another dog. Whenever I brought this up in the past, I was always met with “When we have a house and a yard, we’ll get another dog.” My wife would say this not knowing that within a year we would end up in the largest house with the biggest yard that we will ever have.
This is the dog I’m thinking of. The Alaskan Malamute has been sized down by breeding for the AKC. There are however, many breeders raising the Giants, as seen here. This one weighs 175…they can get up to 220.

Guess Who?
A few months ago, I posted some entries about people I admire that have died. I posted on Oscar Romero, Martin Luther King Jr., Marla Ruzicka, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
This month it’s Johnny.

Bikes again.
This is a bike made of bamboo.
Calfee insists bamboo – a seemingly frightening choice of frame material – is far tougher than most people realize and has a ride quality that outstrips that of carbon. Not convinced? Calfee backs up the bike with a 10 year warranty. Convinced? Well sign up and sit on your hands. Due to a limited supply of three year old black bamboo (straight stalks are hard to come by) Calfee produces only 100 frames a year. Each bamboo is custom, with tubes selected according to rider weight. A carbon wrap enforces the joints, epoxy soaked hemp fills natural stalk splits, and dropouts are made of good ol’ titanium.
