Immediately after the Thompson Island Outward Bound trip, I flew to
Detroit to attend Joanna and Zac's wedding. It has been 8 years since I
last stepped foot on in Michigan. The last time I was in Michigan was the
attendance of my commencement at Kettering University
in 1997. I instantly felt the nostalgic memories of my undergrad days
as soon as I arrived in Detroit airport. Siobhan, Steve, and Milt, who
were still hung over from the previous night's party that they hosted
in their hotel room came to the airport to pick me up. Once I got into
the car, I was immediately updated with anecdotes from last night's
social activity, which was apparently raved by many wedding guests to
be a hugely successful occasion. Determined to maintain our good
reputation as the wedding's most prolific party organizers, we stocked
up on booze on our way back to the hotel to prepare for another great
night of partying in our room.
Joanna and Zac's wedding was held in the beautiful Cranbrook House
in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The matrimony was charming with a few moments
of witty humor and wisdom from the rabbi. It was also fun meeting new
people at the wedding, especially the ones that I have heard so much
about from Joanna but have never met in person. Perhaps I was exhausted
from the Thompson Island trip and the new school schedule, I was a
little less than my usual energetic, genial self.
In any case, the post wedding party in our hotel room was a hit with a
good showing of new wedding guests and the usual suspects from the
night before. All in all, I had a fantastic time. As I reflect on the
wedding while writing this blog, I think I have now achieved
considerable "zen" from attending the wedding and partying with my
partners-in-crime, Siobhan, Steve, and Milt. This is good. So, to my
partners-in-crime, thanks for good times. We have to do this again -
soon. 
Of course, to Joanna and Zac, thanks for having me at the
wedding. Again, best wishes to the both of you.
