Take Me Out To The Wedding
Back just now from Karen and Chris’s wedding, a wonderful event ending a long day — Pica’s birthday — which we celebrated by going to San Francisco to take a course at the San Francisco Center for the Book on making the ideal sketchbook (patterned after a creation of Dorothy Wordsworth) taught by master bookbinder Dominic Riley. The drive back from SF took longer than usual because we got stuck in traffic from the Giants’ game but that was in keeping with there turning out to be a baseball motif in the wedding, the ceremony ending with a chorus of “Take me out to the ballgame”.
Congratulations, Chris and Karen!

Hey, happy birthday!
Thanks so much to both of you for leaving your class early to attend our wedding. We were delighted to have you both be a part of this very special day… and to sing our unique “recessional”!
How terrific it was to finally meet you both! Pica, I will never forget locking eyes with you at the end of the ceremony as we “root, root, root for the Red Sox” together! You are a delight!!
Sue: Yep, there was never any doubt in my mind either that’s what we were going to do. You’re a delight and Sweet Caroline will take on a different hue after Saturday evening!
Thanks, Numenius, for your warm thoughts, and for making it work so that you could enjoy both events in one day. I feel so blessed that we have shared each other’s weddings together.
