I'm an old married guy. What's a "blog"?

It's been a long time. Sorry. Here it is......

-I got married!! It was a pretty perfect day. It was extra sunshiney, there were plenty of people there who would have never otherwise been in the same room together, and I got caught drinking a nip of coconut rum by my favorite high school teacher/aunt in law...and she laughed mightily. I danced, looked stupid, got more drunk than I said I would, got spanked and licked by my friend Russ, and generally had the best time ever. Then I went on a cruise with my lovely wife, where we....

...Rented and crashed a jetski with all of our valuables in the "water tight" compartment on the front of the machine. It was unpleasant, at best.
...Ate our weight in onion rings.
...Took roughly 30 pictures of our stuffed dog "Baby Logan", for a photo journalistic project called "The Adventures of Baby Logan in the South Caribbean", all the while coming home with no more than 3 pictures of ourselves.
...Ate breadfruit.
...Spent the day on a beach in Antigua that is clearly the prototype for tropical beaches.
...Put our feet up and read lots of John D. MacDonald.
...Drank wacky/girly drinks, and felt no shame.
...Went on a private sailboat excursion, and went snorkeling, which involved me putting aside my crippling fear of sharks (I haven't swam in the ocean in almost 15 years...maybe more) in order to have an incredible time.

In other news...

-I finally got out of my position at work, and back to the out-of-doors. Just in time for the cold weather!!
-I've decided to go back to school. I'm fairly terrified, yet constantly excited.
-Got moderately drunk at Dino's, and attempted to play "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Psycho Killer" with The Deloreans. I'd had just the right amount of beer so that I couldn't feel my hands too well, and the results were....iffy.
-We're looking at houses. Which is crazy, but necessary. Also crazy, but less necessary: our current landlord (or lady...the landlord mostly smokes weed and works on old Jeeps.)

Other than that, I've just been: watching lots of good TV shows, seeing an extraordinarily shitty Brian DePalma movie, sleeping poorly, meeting lots of cool dogs, rooting for the Dodgers, then the Tigers, keeping it real, seeing friends, feeling happy.
