I’m off, Modern Friends, for a four-day weekend in Memphis where I will participate in the wedding festivities of my 51-year-old uncle (his first marriage). As Modern Roxy mentioned yesterday, this should be the subject of a reality show. My uncle is the youngest of 11 children and most of them and many of their spouses and children will be there to witness. And he’s marrying a woman who’s got (I think) nearly as many siblings. And it’s a Catholic wedding. I’m sure there will be stories to tell, so hang tight.

No, this gnome will not be there, however I feel this photo conveys just how crazy the weekend will be.

Have a lovely Memorial Day weekend if I don’t catch up with you sooner.
