yessuh, i take this woman for a wiffle
at long last, the E is back on the dave. so everybody relax...exhale...there, are we feeling better now?
so i've been gone for a while learning the ropes of husbandry with my beautiful new bride. and i think i've got it pretty much down pat. just ask the young lady.
or, on second thought: don't.
anyway, if you're curious to see what the special day looked like in all its permutations, go see my friend vancenation. there, you'll see some lovely bridesmaids, the stunning bride, and me, smiling goofily at the whole thing.
the only minor snag was when the organist wasn't there for the beginning of the service, but we worked it out fo' sho'. i was just happy that i somehow conned the duchess into saying 'i will' to some pretty weighty demands, though she refused to assent to the most weighty one of all: 'and thereto i give thee my troth' (and get this: the dude is supposed to say 'and thereto i plight thee my troth'(!)).
but worry not: this was only because neither one of us new what a troth was, let alone whether we had one at our disposal to give or to plight.
but all is well and i hope it is with our 1-2 readers as well.

Welcome back. Your reappearance, I thought, would give me a chance to use the word 'husbandry' which I quite like but have not had the occasion to write before. But upon consulting Webster, I learn it refers more to "farming" or "management of resources." That's a load of malarkey.
actually, though, that's what we've been doing--we've gotten some sheep and now we're tending to them. it is a beautiful pastoral existence.
well, i'm not sure what she's making tonight. but we had some ribs last night that were off the hook (so to speak).
no, but don't worry--the bucolic flow is coming. and after that i WILL write you a handbook in verse on how to farm.
