Sidesaddle, Star Trek, and A Wedding

On Saturday, I got to ride a scooter sidesaddle for the first time. It is not comfortable! But at least I can say I did it :) It took a few minutes to get used to. Good thing Emily is a driver I can trust.

We went to her brother's wedding dinner Saturday evening. We were both dressed up (thus the reason for riding sidesaddle). We had a nice long dinner - three hours - and got to play with Emily's nephews. She will have a niece soon too. Her sister-in-law is five months pregnant.

The food was good and Emily forced me to eat too much, like normal.

The highlight of the night was watching the new Star Trek movie. Awesome-ness! It was really good. After it ended, I wanted to go watch Star Trek re-runs for hours :) I think Emily liked it too. It was funny when I laughed in some parts, but everyone else in the theater was silent. Hm. As Sidra said, "maybe that didn't translate very well."


Me - the bride - Emily's brother - Emily
(the bride totally cheated and stood on her tiptoes to be closer to my height :)

Another one. It looked like my head was cut off in the first one. Emily and I laughed at that. (funny how they don't really smile)


Competition! Emily and I had a little time to waste before the movie started. So we played a game of air hockey. Last time we played, I kicked butt. Yeah! (thank you family for being tough competitors and forcing my skills to be good)
This time, the machine sided with Emily and she won. I really don't think she scored as many points as it gave her. Whatever. There is always next time.

Hi Amberlee,
Greetings from Baltimore, MD. Here for a big trade show.
Neat you were able to attend the wedding dinner. Nice and long.
Side saddle on a scooter looks hard. The ladies always do it in Thailand.
Glad you liked the new Star Trek movie. I am SURE the Taiwanese did not get many of the lines and funny parts.
Funny the bride stood on her tiptoes to "grow up".
Sorry you lost in air hockey. You used to get SO MAD when you lost at games as you were growing up!
Love,
Dad

Yes, I did get upset when I lost. Because it seemed like I always did! Stinker brothers and their natural ability.
