If I can't be fickle about my appearance, what can I be fickle about? Furthermore my staunch opposition to haircuts has entered its tenth month. I figure I'll work for the guv'ment in some iteration or another for the next 30-35 years; I'd better get this "midlife crisis" stuff out of the way now while I'm young enough to make it look good, but too poor to buy a motorcycle. Or a pack of Wrigley's chewing gum...Anyway, I'm sure you're all on pins and needles over how Meridth and I are going to spend our four-year anniversary toady. Through the magic of cheap internetworked technology, Meridth and I will be going on a romantic date to see one of our fovorite movies, 1985's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." We'll both be getting food from the same restaurant. Here our selection is fairly limited. McDonalds, KFC or Burger King...there's is actually a Chili's here in Reading (one of five in England) but if you're getting it to-go anyway, it's hardly worth the price (especially here, where a plate of Quesadillas costs 20 bones).
We've opted to go with the "Home of the Whopper" on this romantic evening, for obvious reasons. While we dine, we shall both log onto Skype so that we can chat while eating and watching the movie on the DVD drives of our respective computers. Ain't technology grand? Well...it's hardly an optimal situation, but it will be fun nonetheless and, to me at least, seems like the sort of post-modern globalized activity that wouldn't have been possible only ten years ago.And it beats miserably watching reruns of "The A-Team." Which is what I've been up to in the last week or so.
Was Murdock always so annoying?

Dear Edward and Meridth,
It is so fun to think back four years ago and remember your wedding. As I recall, it was a beautiful spring day--a little breezy--with copious sunshine and warm feelings. I loved having your reception at the Museum of Art. What an inspiration and what a fun way to celebrate how you met each other. I loved visiting with all my friends, and family. I'm sorry again that I made us late to the dinner at the Italian restaurant in Provo. It was unforgivable.
I love you both so much, and if was great fun to hear of your plans to be "together". I am counting the days until you are back together, and praying for Meridth's safe trip, and her father's continued health improvements.
Will we see you in about four months? I can't wait! I love having my children around (as Margie will tell you), and will surely celebrate when you're finally through with school.
Happy Anniversary! Margie and Brandon's marriage marks three of the four married children having April for an anniversary month!
Love, Claudia
mom your comments are great. Hey and don't worry everyone, when (or if) I get married I'll let you guys watch... as I have not seen any "i do's"... Thanks jerks.

How kind of you Karl :)
Geeze Karl, I hadn't realized that, between Mormon's and their covert nuptuals and the 'eloping lite' that seems ever-so-popular, you've never seen a wedding. Sorry 'bout that...
-Rusty
we ARE jerks! Margie, Dad and Ryan have not seen anyone get married either (well...Margie and ryan saw themselves get married...but whatever). love you Karl...as long as you get married in the cool month of April you are a-okay!
Why are you signed in as jeremy?
murdock was always the pilot. his zany antics were the comedic relief. well, that and doping up Mr. T to get him on a plane. good stuff. face always drove that pimp C4 corvette. good times

I didn't realize my friend Jeremy was signed in on my computer. Jeremy Rauch... played b-ball with me in AAU with his twin Jason. I've lived with or near him for the last three years. He is a manager for the basketball team here at IU and an assistant coach for a local high school team. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask...

Happy Anniversary, Rusty and Meridth! Hope your burgers were good.
And Karl, I think you should elope too so that Dad can say that he never saw any of his 5 children married.
Toodles!

Oh...Margie...the burger was decent. But it gave me a stomache ache. (I think I would have rather had a delicious brightly colored cupcake.)
