Florida is huge for baseball due to year round play. There is a huge benefit to baseball for some kids like my neighbor......drafted out of high school by MLB!

I just tell people that I only go to weddings on Wednesdays in February so plan accordingly.

I was talking to the fiancee about the wedding date when we were planning it. It was very easy because she already knew it wasn't going to be in the summer. Now we picked late September which is right around the time I winterize my boat. So I figured just pull it a week earlier and oh well. She knew this because her one friend had a wedding last July on a Saturday at 3pm. Needless to say she found out how our kids will act when they get upset.

When I got the invitation to BLee's wedding I called him within 5 seconds with two questions:

She actually said yes?!?!?!
Do you realize this is Havasu weekend?!?!?

LOL.

He's my boy so I went to the wedding.

Marriage is about compromises....
I told my wife that for each boating day she accompanies me in April, I will accompany her to one event of her choosing during the summer. Had the boat out once this spring, she didn't go ("too windy"), I'm home free as of Monday!

My company has its annual picnic the first Saturday of august every summer. I am pretty high up the food chain so not attending isn't really an option. It is at a beautiful state park right at the mouth of long island sound about 2 miles from my boat / lift. Views of long island , race rock and fishers island from the beach there. Every time one of my go fast brothren goes by headed to block or long island , or some place down the sound, some of my guys who know me well just laugh and hold up a beer knowing I would really rather be doing that than eating lobster at the picnic. Its always a good time tho. Sacrifices.

Me and my old lady planned her pregnancy around the LOTO shootout, so she would only be 3 or 4 months along and i wouldn't have to miss it, but also wouldn't interfere with the following year shootout. Shes putting the new job on hold till summer is over so we don't have to miss any big runs due to her not having any vacation, and now my boss invited me to his bachelor party at the lake with all his ***gy friends in June, buuuuutttt that just so happens to be the Support the Troops poker run, so guess who is bringing their boat to the lake by myself and doing another run and skipping the bachelor party??? Summer is too short and i put in enough time to everyone else to let these people phuck with my boating season anymore

We have one wedding in May to attend and that's it. Last year (of course boat was in shop for 9 weeks) we went to several. I'm stoked about this season and I've saved the letter in my file to use if the need should arise. I'm not kidding.

One of the best boating areas anywhere IMO.
