After a 22 year run of blissful singularity I am marrying my best friend,
Aileen, on Valentine's Day. She'll also be joining me in my real estate
business as well. If any of you are conveniently located to Bainbridge
Island, WA, I'd be honored to have you witness this spectacle which by it's
rarity is surely a sign of the Apocolypse. We're too old and jaded to go
through the crap of planning a wedding so this things is gonna be a small
quickie. 1:30ish at the Wyatt House on Wyatt and Madison near the ferry
dock.
