My friends Joe and Deb were married at the Palace of Fine Arts a last month.  They had one of the coolest weddings I've ever had the pleasure of attending.  Both Joe and Deborah are artists, and accordingly guests were invited to come dressed as either a famous artist or a work of art.  Deborah's parents even got into the act and dressed as the couple from American Gothic.

My friend Nome's 5-year old daughter Seren, took to Theo instantly and helped keep him occupied all afternoon.  Unfortunately it was a little chilly that day and we didn't have any baby costumes warm enough for the little guy.

I took the day off today to pick up a new ride.  Karen's bank repo'd the bike and I won on a low-ball bid.  It's a 1998 Harley Davidson FXD Dyna Superglide. 

It's ugly, dirty, impractical, uncomfortable, and L O U D as hell, but it runs really well.  It had been sitting for about a month so I wasn't sure if it would start or not.  Fortunately it did and when the engine caught it sounded like a rocket igniting.  Flames even shot out the tailpipe as it backfired.  Karen hates it and said the baby started kicking in her belly when I cranked it up.  :)

I plan to clean it up, do a few simple mods to get it closer to a stock config and then sell it on Craigslist.  Until then I'll be that jerk on the Harley -- setting off every car alarm between home and the office.
