Okay...Not exactly. 
I started to last night, but mastering a post on the Android is tough enough, couple that with alcohol and a dying battery- I gave up and went back to drinking. 

My brother in law got married Saturday out near the Finger Lakes region of NY. Being in the wedding party, I needed to be out there on Friday for the rehearsal stuff so I scored a day off from work for that, which was automatically making it into a good weekend. 

Friday, after the rehearsal, a bunch of us stayed out and got the groom hammered. Being one of the DDs for that, I was able to have one of these:

But little else. At $10 a bottle, it was a great novelty drink, but that's it. It tasted entirely TOO much like banana bread for me to enjoy it very much. 

Saturday though...was a different matter. I went into it knowing full well that this morning was going to be bad. I warned Mrs. Reb that I planned on taking a step or six outside the circle of responsible adulthood. 

We left the church around 3:30 and that's when the drinking started. 
From there, my beverage list includes (But is not limited to)

Champagne - at least three glasses that I can recall
3 Labatt Blues
2 White Russians with Vanilla Vodka
1 Vodka Martini-Dirty, Shaken, Not stirred (It was a necessity with the Bond-ish tuxedo styles)
3 Gin and Pineapple Juices
1 clear something with Gin - I told the bartender to 'surprise me' and I looked away
Jeagermister, Lemon drop, and Red-headed slut shots.*****

Allow me to explain the last line further before I get made fun of. 
After the reception, one of the bridesmaids wanted to go KEEP going, so the wife and I, as well as one of the other groomsmen and his fiancee went to a bar. She supplied the shots, usually by surprise. 

By the time I fell asleep on the floor of the house we stayed at, I made my peace with God. Then woke up this morning- convinced that there's no such thing as Kharma. Because where I usually get a hangover from taking cough medicine- this morning was nothing that a single cup of coffee couldn't remedy. 

Anyway- the whole point of this post was to be that despite all the lunacy we've been caught up in the last month or so- we got out and were able to cut loose and just......relax for a while. If you can't work into your life, no matter HOW busy it is- a few times like this where you can lay aside all the bullcrap and make new friends and reconnect with old ones (with or without the aid of booze) you're in for an early grave, I'm certain of it. 

I cannot wait to see some of the pictures that surface from people from yesterday. I know there's one shot of me taking a field sobriety test in a tuxedo which was being administered by a NYPD officer who was even more hammered than I was. 

Oh: Protip.....
Wearing a tux to a bar in a college town...the dudes look at you funny, the girls look at you hungrily. 

It was a hell of a weekend and I'm not looking forward to a work week now.
