Joey and Maria (and Mark’s) Wedding
Mark and Ginger called yesterday to say they had two extra tickets to “Joey and Maria’s Italian Comedy Wedding†at the Matrix Club in Boston. The dinner theater production was their daughter, Molly’s, idea, but she was back in school in New York and couldn’t accompany them.
It wasn’t until we’d picked the best seats, closest to the stage that Ginger announced, “Did I mention this is an audience participation event?†Of course she hadn’t, because she knows Diane would have never agreed to come. However, Mark had THE prime seat and a willing temperament to occupy it. In fact, he gave the cast members more than they could have imagined.
See for yourself.
Thanks, Molly, for an uproarious night out.

Spectacular! If only the low battery on your camera hadn’t kept me from capturing Michael with the bridesmaid running her fingers through his hair, or better still, Michael with another bridesmaid, pretending to be very drunk at the end of the evening, wobbling across the dance floor to land her head sqarely in Mike’s lap, pretending to be puking. It was a wonderful night. Viola was hilarious. She was supposed to be the groom’s shunned mistress, and was constantly dancing with her red dress slipping up to her waist as she performed faux ballet and just screamingly funny jiggling motions. Diane and I shared the delight of cracking up over her all night.

Laughed until I had to put my head down on the table. Who knew we were still (or again) capable of spontaneous fun? And Michael insisting on kicking up his dance heels. Unheard of.
Thank you Ginger and Mark and Molly for such a gift.

Ginger, Perhaps he sabotaged the camera’s battery life for just that reason. It is not unheard of for Michael to enjoy taking pictures, but to do anything possible to not be in one.
Looks like it was a wonderful night. And I like the new photo album software, although the last picture did not load for me. Anything that facilitates Michael writing captions to go along with his pictures is ok in my book. We’ve come a long way from the Photoshop scripts that were then hand-edited in Dreamweaver.
Now that Mainecourse has modernised, I might actually have to do something more with chopkins.com…

Pesky, “We’ve come a long way from the Photoshop scripts that were then hand-edited in Dreamweaver.” Only you would know that. Now, tell me how to link email names under Recent Comments instead of the default – urls.
Ginger…jiggling motions? I never noticed.

Michael dancing … ! Such convenient battery death. But what about the extra batteries he ALWAYS carries … ?
Mark, you are beyond a good sport! Priceless expressions (and yet so circumspect — never once do we catch you glancing at Red Dress’s in-your-face cleavage … ). Mike, thanks for the record — too much!

These questions are best asked of the wordpress support website. This particular answer took less than a minute to find.

For most people, it is not desirable to have your email posted, for fear of spam. With this blog’s tradition of clever (and almost always invalid) email addresses, that is not such an issue. Then again, I’m sure that we could be just as creative with urls….

What fun!

I did have another battery, but a hundred plus flash photos about melted it.
And I had found this PG : You can put the “name mail url” in the comments template (or pop-up comments in your case) as < ?php comment_author(); ?> < ?php comment_author_email_link('mail', '', ''); ?> < ?php comment_author_url_link('url', '', ''); ?> : but adding it without subtracting the commands not to show email does nothing…at least that is what I’m guessing my problem is.
