Skip The Toast, More Wilco! *OR* What Has The Stig Done For Me Lately?

You've waiting patiently and here we go, a new blog entry today. Of course, the problem becomes what on earth to write about?

Some of the Lee clan was down in the civilized world this past weekend to associate with their friends and of course the topic turned to the wedding. I asked Paul about his speech, to see if he had any ideas, because I don't want to trample on his speech with my own. Greg was interested as well, because we all need to be unique. Of course, this will be difficult when we are each trying to fill in our allotted toast time of 40 minutes or so. I was thinking I may put together a multimedia presentation.

I hope there is a big enough room for a screen this size. I've got some great pictures that will look amazing at 40' wide. I guess the issue now is what to talk about. I assume that Paul will actually talk about B and Corrin, so there is no need to rehash that old subject. Greg could talk about a variety of things, but I really hope he presents his "Top Gear" thesis.

I think I may try to cover the career of alternative rock darlings, Wilco.

I am pretty sure the folks at the wedding will appreciated being enlightened about some of the more important aspects of the art culture in the modern day.

Too often we get a bit too involved in the bride and groom at the wedding. Life still goes on and they need to learn it is not always about them. You can have your few moments, but let's talk about some of the bigger things in life, shall we? And darnit, you are going to sit there for the entire time that each of us is speaking and you are going to take notes. You will be turning in those notes at the end of the wedding and be graded.

So sit back, relax, enjoy the presentations and don't worry, the beef won't get that cold.

Slowly Getting To A Point *OR* Do Your Own Thing

Did you miss me? No? Okay, I understand.

A great positive way to start off a new blog, right?

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but our guts are all just a little bit bigger. And we'll carry that joy all the way until Christmas and then think about getting rid of it around the New Year, but we'll get either lazy or cold and forget all about it.

As promised, Greg and I went to the LA Auto Show and spent about 5 hours molesting and breaking cars apart. I even met TV's The Stig!

Me hanging with The Stig from Top Gear!

Have you ever watched the BBC version of Top Gear? Pure Genius. But who was not at the Auto Show? Our own Brent Lee. I can prove it.

See? This was out in public for anyone to see.

Where is this one going? I wasn't sure for a moment, but I think I have a topic now. File this one under "marriage advice." Yup, we're making files and making you store things. Luckily, this one is simple. While you are two people coming together as one or something sappy like that, you are still two people. And as two people, you have different interests. B's interests include flannel, wine, and fire. Not necessarily in that order either. Corrin's interests (as far as I can tell) are taking pictures, country music, and charity work. But you have to keep some things to yourself. A place that you can always go that you can call yours. My place like that is either an auto dealership or Best Buy. Don't really know why, just places I tend to head when I need to get out and do something.

So Corrin, let B walk down the street to Paul's house so they can listen to 80s music and talk about Smokey the Bear. And B, let Corrin have her girl's nights. Trust me, it is good for you both.

In general blog news, we are going to finally go away from a daily posting regiment. I know, where else will you spend hours online? We are aiming for a few times a week, but I guess this means you have to check in all the time to see what may be new. Have a great week and start thinking about getting me a Christmas present. I'll give you a hint.
