A belated happy sixth anniversary to my Phoenix-based friends Kim & Rad. According to the Internet (aka Wikipedia), the “appropriate” gift for them is either iron or wood. Hmm. Rad’s a big comic-book fan so I’m confident he already owns a copy of the Iron Man DVD, no luck on me being clever there. Wood is a trickier one that Ethan and Kelly were able to solve. Maybe, I can find a way to combine the two.
Either way, it was a fabulous weekend in Phoenix. The weather was warmer than Austin’s, for 2002. They were married outdoors in a really nice ceremony at this private clubhouse place. Even our hotel room had a great view of Camel Back Mountain from the porch. I think the climate took the sting off of the Bears losing (as expected) for my friend Steve staying next door with his family. Kim and Rad’s wedding was also memorable for people bugging me about if I was going to get married to Somara. Obviously the answers varied, based upon who replied. I showed her the following Spring, didn’t I?!
