Big day come and big day go

Quite the auspicious day today, on a variety of fronts.

First off, congratulations are in order to DeadpanAnn and the soon-to-be Mr. DeadpanAnn, who are getting married (to each other, fortunately) in less than 5000 seconds.

Secondly, Happy Birthday to Her Royal Highness, Di, who recently returned from California... where apparently they have weather or something. I wouldn't know anything about that, of course.

And me? I got myself a new toy this week and finally took it for a spin around the house. Yup, I mowed my lawn yesterday... the first time I've done that in over 14 years. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that yardwork with a 100+ degree heat index is still The Suck.
