Next-to-Last Full Bachelor Weekend; Going to a Wedding

Posted May 13, 2005, 8:10 p.m.

Yes, somewhat ironic I suppose, but I’ll be spending a part of my next-to-last full weekend as a bachelor at a wedding. Congrats-in-advance to Joe and Kim, who will be getting married tomorrow in Williamsburg!

Melissa and I are heading southward to attend the festivities tomorrow, and we’re hoping to make a stop in Richmond on the way back (though that’s not set-in-stone yet).

Tonight, we’re going to finally see Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and on Sunday we’ll be moving a table from my Grandmother’s. In other words, don’t expect much new site content this weekend ;-).
