Marsh Chapel -- Boston University





Roy and Liane are getting married at Marsh Chapel, a gorgeous space that looks more like a small cathedral with wooden sculptures and some of the most beautiful stained glass I have ever seen. The windows feature traditional religious figures like saints with important figures in American history like Ben Franklin and Betsy Ross. The pictures don't do the place justice, but were worth posting anyway. I am doing a reading from a book called "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. I am not familiar with the book, but found out today that Roy's mother gave it to him after he graduated high school so if Beck Burns likes it, I like it too

Roy gave me a copy tonight as a gift along with Sonic Youth's rerelease of 1990's "Goo". That album was our soundtrack in college and ironically was reissued this year with outtakes and other DVD like extra goods. The note he wrote me was so sweet and made me cry as I realized just how much I have missed him since he left Birmingham five years ago. That boy is gold to me and I am so happy to be a part of this event.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Image
Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
