My weekend with Liz at Matt Wilhelm's wedding in Tucson was wonderful. It was everything I had hoped for and better than I expected. Except for all the cousins, who were not invited because they were thought to be too numerous on both the bride's and groom's sides, presumably for economic reasons, everybody was there and were great fun for us to be with. I have encouraged them all to join come to Northstar this summer, and I think many of them may well manage to join us at our reunion. Except for a two hour delay in taking off from Phoenix because of mechanical problems with the airplane, the travel part of the trip went smoothly.
I just got back from getting more antibiotic solution at PAMF so I can resume catheterization. Fortunately I was able to get along just fine by skipping it for a few days. I saw on the news last night that the Chicago Blackhawks lost yesterday, so the Sharks have the Western Conference home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup playoffs, which I think start Wednesday.

One last note about my trip to Matt's wedding. On the way home, Liz caught her flight a couple of hours before mine was scheduled to leave, and then mine was delayed a couple of more hours. Fortunately I was able to meet up with Matt's sister Robin and her boyfriend who were waiting for their flight back to Denver, and we had a chance to have a nice visit at one of the Phoenix airport's Starbucks. Last night Joshua came by to watch 24 with me. I thought it was the last episode but now I learn there is another one next Monday. Maybe it will be the last. Joshua had taken the day off and gone skiing and just got back in time to see 24.
Yesterday I finished reading The Big Short by Michael Lewis. It was very good and a worthy successor to Liars Poker, which was his first book that I read and was about his experience as a bond salesman in London after he finished Princeton.. I have also read Moneyball, which was about the Oakland As and applying the scientific method to evaluating talent for the baseball draft. I also have The Blind Side, which I will get to soon.
