Selena and I went to the wedding of our very good friends Lauren and Duke this past Saturday. It was a bit wet, with don’t-call-me-hurricane Hanna visiting the area at the same time, but is that not perfect weather for a couple that refers to themselves as “ducks”. Here are a few more learnings from a great wedding weekend in Delaware:

• Six player Settlers of Catan is very difficult and quite awesome
• You can take a stylish outfit up another notch with argyle socks
• Northern Exposure had some pretty interesting monologues, I should pick up a season of that show.

• Golf courses start to look like Slip-n-Slides after 20 inches of rain

• OAR’s “Hey Girl” is a not a slow song, but still a great First Dance song, why is it not already on my iPod?
• The birthday record dude, Captain Zoom, is still making records, who knew?
• You can start a successful conga line to “Come on Eileen”
• When someone inadvertently makes a noise like the Penguin in Batman 2, it can spawn a whole series of replications and embellishments, including rigid flipper-like hand gestures and lots of people going “Waaaaannhh”, as it captured in this photo:
  

And finally, not a learning (because we already knew it), but a re-emphasizing that Lauren and Duke are a great couple and will surely have a long and happy life together. Congrats Ducks!
