Thank you. I know them all, and thought a couple of the faces looked vaguely familiar in an AI-generated kind of way.

Graduating and getting married in essentially the same week? Wow! Had you shared this before? (You only have one daughter, yes?)My wife and I will be leaving Brick NJ Wed. morning in anticipation of our daughter's wedding this Sat. May 18th.
I just took another peek at my new suit that I'll wear for the first time on the day of the wedding. Naturally every pocket is closed with a thread.
I am wondering if I should keep it that way? This article says it looks neat and even like that.
Yet maybe I'll wish I had a place to put something other than the suit's pants.
All opinions are welcome....

Why Your Suit Jacket Pockets Are Sealed and How to Open Them
Whether or not to open sewn pockets on your suit is a decision based on functionality and style preference. If you choose to open them, remember to do it carefully to maintain the integrity of your suit.xsuit.com

I don’t think I shared this here yet.
I had my bi-annual eye exam last week (maxing out Mike’s benefits before he leaves that company on Friday), and got two new pairs of glasses - one pair of sunglasses for driving, and a pair of clear near distance computer glasses. Yay.
Not so yay … I was also diagnosed with moderate cortical cataracts in both eyes. I’m a little young for cataracts, and this particular type is often associated with Type 2 diabetes. Just to be safe, my family doctor has ordered bloodwork. So much to do this week before we move on Friday!

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
The results are good ones for you.

Also, in the not-so-yay department, we decided to sell the RV. Based on our work schedule, it doesn’t look like we’ll be able to travel for at least two years. During that time, it will depreciate another 50% sitting in the driveway. Plus, we certainly don’t not need the money (double negative intentional).
(If you’re friends with me on FB, please don’t mention it, there are a couple of people we don’t want to know yet.)
I really wanted it gone before we moved, so I priced it competitively, honed my already sharp selling skills, and sold that sucker in three days!
Today was the sad day. I sniffled a little. That trailer was good to us. We had so many great memories. Mike is already looking at slightly larger models to buy in a year or two.

Oh, that's sad. I know how much you two enjoyed your vacations in the RV. (But, then I thought -- selling it for now is part of the process. The process is the anticipation of buying a new, even better one, in the years to come! Plus, you two are seasoned RV people now, and will be able to make even more informed decisions, when the right time comes.)

I don't think I stressed how close the events were....you didn't miss it.
I arrived home Sunday night yet today is my last day of teaching this week. I came back just to teach yesterday and today.
Tomorrow morning my wife and I head back to Virginia for the wedding prep and then the wedding itself. So we will be in Virginia from Wed night until Sunday morning and arriving back home Sunday night.....then back to work Monday morning.
Tiring for sure....but our daughter is our one and only child so we give her our best efforts and love.

You will be amazed at the difference in clarity and brightness of colors if you have the surgery for the cataracts. The process sounds a little scary but I can tell you that it is really nothing. Thinking about it is the worst thing. So, except for the hassle it is a good thing.

Prepare yourself for hopefully more of those very emotional events concerning your little girl. Wedding and eventual Grandfathership and for me over the last few years, college graduations of those grandchildren. All have the same degree of weird but incredible moments. The difference is that in the later you are proud of mom and grandchild. Life doesn't offer an over abundance of those occasions but they are worth everything to be part of them.Thank you for your best wishes.......and I hope they have many happy years as well.

Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement too. We are at a McDonald's in Maryland. Maybe 30 miles north of Washington DC. Lord willing we will be with our daughter by dinnertime.

Congratulations/Best Wishes to your family, especially the bridal couple. The best advice I got was to remember that things WILL go wrong, because nothing is perfect, but they will still be just as married whether the cake falls, or the dress snags, or someone doesn't make it, etc. (We got married right after Sept. 11th and a LOT of our guests didn't make it, including my maid of honor. And the girl who stepped up to take over that role, when she got married the next year and I was a bridesmaid for HER, one of their groomsmen just didn't show up and no one knew why. He just got upset about something and bailed without letting anyone know)
My other piece of advice, which wasn't given to me, but learned the hard way, is to EAT SOMETHING. Don't let them rush you. We had a buffet rather an a sit down meal because our reception started on the late side, so we just did small bites like meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, etc. We went through the line, got our food, went to sit down, put our plates on the table and I got exactly 2 bites before the DJ called us down for our first dance, which he had told us he would wait for our signal. I figured we'd dance, and then I'd go finish my food, but I got back to the table, and they had cleared our plates and were already taking down the buffet so I couldn't get more. By the end of the night, I was STARVING. We had to go to McDonalds in our bridal-wear because we didn't have time to change before they closed and I NEEDED to eat something. It was a great time and I loved every minute of it, but I wish I had had a chance to eat something.
