What a great week celebrating Pete and Lindsay's wedding..Here's is a recap of Saturday's toast for those of you interested in what I said... Robert & Lindsay, Congratulations on the termination of your isolation, and may I express my appreciation of your determination to end the desperation and frustration that has caused you so much consternation in giving you the inspiration to make this grand unification that may someday bring an accumulation to the population.  So as I end my toast to this occasion, and wrap up my salutation, I'd like for for everyone in the room to stand up and raise their glasses high in the air to this lovely combination, and bid good fortune to their future mutual consummation!  To Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hogdson: May your love be added, may it never subtracted, may your household multiply, and may your hearts never be divided!! Cheers!! and on with the celebration!!
