It was waiting for me just inside the door when I came home this evening. A cardboard box, three feet by two feet by one, weighed at least twenty pounds. My wedding present from my soon-to-be-wife. I lugged it upstairs, cut away the box around it to discover the other box inside, and gaped with awe and wonder. It was a glorious thing, truly. I dug inside and came up with the instruction manual, a weighty tome that clocked in at an two-hundred-and-thirty pages. Over the years of my life, I'd seen a lot of instruction manuals of this sort, minor staple-bound incidentals, pamphlets at best, which resembled the wire-bound sheath I held in my lap as the little black-and-white comics Jehovah Witnesses give out resemble the King James Bible.
I reveled. Reveled, I tell you. And that was just at the instruction manual.
This is not why I love my soon-to-be wife. This is one of many, many reasons, which at some point, for some occasion, I will do my best to document and detail as thoroughly as the two-hundred-and-thirty page manual details the construction of the best wedding present ever ever ever.
Eric Kurzenberger smells like Cheese, but he has a great cd collection, so i forgive the offense. And yes, by far he has a great woman. I don't even buy peter sour patch kids when he asks me to get them at the movies. I just expect him to eat my candy.
Really good cheese, right?
Congrats Eric, how does it feel to be a married man! Can't wait to see the photos.

In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. EK.... what are YOU going to produce?
I produced a five-foot-long Lego Star Destroyer. What did Michelangelo do that was so great?
and hey, you got something against cuckoo clocks?
