It’s time. The big day has arrived. Well, not quite — but as it’s only 53 hours away, I’ll round up. It has occured to me that this is my last blog post as a single man. Cool :)

If you’re wondering where the honeymoon is going to be …too bad. Pictures will be readily available via both my regular photo gallery and our wedding website (I’ll post the wedding site link once we’re back).

To keep you busy in the meantime, re-read our engagement story. Or you can enjoy yet another joke, courtesy of my sister.

Recently, a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Bandera, Texas.

After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.

After what seemed an eternity, and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He sat there for a few minutes, as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine, dry, summer night.) He flicked the blinkers on, then off a couple of times, honked the horn and switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes, as some more of the other patron vehicles left.

At last, the parking lot empty, he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights and promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, “Ill have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.”

“I doubt it,” said the truly proud Texan. “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”
