Oh, man.

What to write about today.....

Well, how about this?



Toni and I getting married on Saturday, October 18th, 2008.

We'll be getting married in a very cozy venue in Roanoke. It will be a very, very small event with immediate family & very close friends only, with about 40 people attending. We'd love to invite all of you guys, but we're paying for the whole thing ourselves and we just can't afford it. The Honorable J.W. Hand (aka Uncle J) has graciously agreed to officiate, and we couldn't be more pleased.

I know I'm taking a risk by posting this here, but at the end of the day, the amount of fallout I (and we) are sure to endure can't compare to the good news.

The early friends and family response has already been overwhelmingly positive, and we both sincerely appreciate your love and your support.

There has, unfortunately, only been one individual (who shall remain nameless) who has not taken the good news as well as I had hoped, and now appears determined bring legal action against me involving Code Name Diamond. I'm hoping after the initial shock of the news wears off, this person will be restored to their generally rational, kind, pleasant and pastoral nature, and this will blow over and the relationship will be restored to it's natural and very agreeable state. In the past, once the shock has worn off, emotions have cooled, passions have subsided, rational thought resumes it's natural place and all becomes well again. In the past, that's generally been the pattern, and I hope this pattern continues. Otherwise, the rest of you guys have been absolutely wonderful so far.

Anyway, that's a pretty big one for today. I have to get back to work now.

More to come.
