I am a Ninja, goo goo ga joob.

Hmmm... I haven't posted in awhile, and a good bit has happened. First, congratualtions to Matt and Deidre, who got married last week and are now somewhere cruising toward Jamaica on a large boat. The wedding was beautiful and the bachelor party was awesome. Think about it this way: at one point one of the attendees (at the bachelor party) thought that the clear liquid they were drinking was water. It was in fact gin. Good gin at that. Now I see what happened to all those flappers. I had the honor of being an usher at the wedding itself, and that was much more fun than you might initially think. I got to sweep one of the doors open when Deidre appeared at the back of the church, and that was mighty special. I also escorted several good looking ladies up the aisle to their seats, which wasn't so bad either.

Before the wedding I got the chance to take an actual vacation up to Athens and Anderson. My friends Carl and David generally figured out all the mysteries of the world along with me over some good drinks, and I bought some very nice used books. This is, you see, exciting stuff for me. I spent the last half of the week with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew. There I relaxed, defeated the forces of darkness, displayed my considerably mad street ball skillz (I brought the PS2 and Will and I played it. Alot.), and got to hang out with the coolest baby ever. Liam and I played a game called jump, which he learned from his jumping chair:

I love getting to spend time up there with Will and Meghan and Liam. Hopefully I will be going back before too long.

Also a congratualtions is in order to my friend Drew, who now has a fancy job and fancy apartment in Birmingham. We've spent some good times there already:

Don't worry, I am highly trained at looking like a ninja.

I hope everyone is well.
Peace,
Joe
