Obviously, my weather related rants have had no effect; Mother Nature continues to flip us off, rendering even the sunniest of Central Pennsylvania dispositions sullen and ill-tempered; Shop Vac-ing the basement several times a month will do that to you.
We were able to travel to Altoona - yes, it rained there too - for the blessed nuptuals of G-Wen and Wayne.

Great wedding and great reception (hope Radar Love never appears on the U-Tube). Breakfast the next morning with Slammin' Sammy, Court and the fams was both a fitting celebration of Mother's Day, and (if filmed & shown in high schools throughout the country) an effective birth-control PSA.
Next on the agenda for your beloved author are CPUMC's 20th annual Golf Classic in early June, and thereafter, a brief trip to sunny California. The golf outing will be special, as I seek to defend the title so effortlessly won last year - effortless, in that I did little or nothing to aid our team.
Raising funds has been the focus of these outings. Since we've begun, we've raised nearly $12,000 for the various missions of XPoint; this year, monies will be split between our food pantry and our sister church efforts in Maboleh, Sierra Leone.
The Cali trip will be special, as I intend to offer a sympathetic shoulder to Maria look forward to the blessed union of G-Wen's brother Jed, and his lovely bride-to-be Rae Rae.
This will be bittersweet for me; it's always difficult to see them leave the nest, but my little washer partner is all grown up now, with a life of her own - - - fly little bird, fly!Don't know how many of you know this, but I was born in California, just a few short scores ago (I see California girls in my dreams). Other activities on the Left Coast will include recreating the debauchery of the movie Sideways - in the wine country, a liesurely drive up the coast on HWY 1, and poppin' around San Francisco for a day or so. Then, soon enough, I'll be winging my way homeward, to rejoin my comrades in what by then will surely more resemble Atlantis, than the All-American City I call home.
Hasta la vista babies; I'll be back. Sorry, I couldn't resist a few Arnold-isms..........
