My friend Ben sent me a recent copy of the Iowa Memorial Union newsletter. It featured an article about weddings at the IMU. I vaguely remember being contacted a million years ago by someone about including a wedding picture of Denny and me outside the IMU, but then I forgot about it.

But here it is!

Notice how we are deemed slightly more important than Curious George. The funny thing is, we didn’t even get married at the IMU. We got married at the Museum of Art, across the bridge. We did get ready at the IMU, though, because that’s where people had hotel rooms. I also find it funny that they were kind enough to include my dad’s copyright on the picture (upon my request), but we are completely unidentified. I guess that’s so nobody contacts us and discovers the truth, that we didn’t get married at the IMU at all.

If you’re curious, here’s a zoom-in so you can read the article, and here’s a zoom-in on the picture.

My first post to the Fitfare blog is published today. The editor emailed all the writers and said she wanted the posts to be less recipe-centric, so I guess I screwed that one up. She said that recipes are ok, but that they should be an accompiment to an article rather than the purpose of the articple. Well, I’ll see what I can do. She also said no bulleting or numbering. WTF? Bullets rule. When I see a bulleted list, I read it. And numbers are very useful as well.

• See?
• Don’t these bullets
• make you want to read their contents?

Sheesh. I guess I’ll follow directions, but it seems a little draconian to me to outlaw bullets. I mean…bullets don’t kill people. Bullets going really fast kill people.

I would also like to add:

The “Keep your lamplight trimmed and burning” breakdown from Beck’s “Peaches and Cream” is the prettiest 15 seconds of music I’ve heard lately.
