Joe, I have watched your life unfold as represented here on the forum, from a non shaving high school student to a young adult. I believe you are making fine choices in your life. If you were my son I would be very proud of you. What the heck, I am anyway!

Best wishes!

Congrats, and hope all is well. You should have given us more than a six hour notice. There is a W123 hearse out there that if enough here kicked in a little would have made a nice wedding present for the two of you. Just joking of course 19 years deep here, and enjoying it.

Also managed to get a speeding ticket en route. Cop wasn't buying the "late to the wedding" story.


I can imagine!

Grandson, maybe?

I completely agree with your sentiments!
