They Put a Hole Through the WHAT?: Patsy Enters the Zen Phase



"Ma'am, I just wanted to tell you that the contractors put a hole through the side of the bowling alley and there's plaster dust everywhere. Would you like to cancel?," asked the bowling alley lady a few minutes ago, when Patsy called to verify tonight's pre-wedding party for 50 people.

Got to hand it to her: Patsy didn't swear even once. She seems very calm today, perhaps sedated, perhaps she has just entered the Zen Phase of wedding planning. Let it rain, let it snow, let it hail F*$%ing gallstones. "NO problem," Patsy said. "NO problem."



These things keep happening, but Hannah's Wedding just plows forward. Yesterday Ducknik and Plotnik and Peter and Patsy filled these little jars with water and plunked a cutdown spider mum into each one. It doesn't seem like a huge job until you see how many needed to be done. What you're looking at is only one side of the room.



Tonight everyone is damned well going bowling, regardless of the plaster and the hole in the side of the bowling alley. Plotnik and Nufu 5 have brought their bowling shirts.



Look again at that house in the top picture. It's like Larry Ellison's yacht, except next to the water instead of on it. Plus, there are ducks.
