I've been highly negligent in delaying a posting of this. Many of you who do not know me and Marlene probably don't care, but those of you who have been asking to sit through a slide show of wedding snapshots, here you go... Marlene and I got hitched last Halloween at one of the finest restaurants in NY - The Duck Cedar Inn in Tuxedo, NY. Why is it such a fine joint? Well, Marlene's colorful Uncle Fred is the head chef. That's why. Great grub, and a touch of nostalgia - what better a place to have the wedding... And getting hitched on Halloween? Well, that's been Marlene's dream for a long time. The hoboes who made it lived up to the punchline and came in costume. Don't believe me? Scroll along, kiddoes...And those of you who are sharp might even spy The Unknown Hobo in the crowd scenes...glad he made it...he represents all that is good and hobo-ish in this world...
