My little brother got married this weekend! I cannot express how happy I am that David and Lauren found each other.

Will have pics up as I get them from friends (since I was the best man, didn’t get much opportunity to take any myself), but here is the slideshow of David I made for the rehearsal dinner. (warning: approx. 7mb)

Last year I joked with John Gremillion about getting myself on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy if they ever came to Houston. I mentioned this to Dennis Arrowsmith, and he said he’d get Alex Mendoza, Max Weir, and Jordan Davis and they could do it. So we’re now in the process.

We’ll probably mainly focus on my home (paint and furnishings) but I am not above getting clothing advice, though my tastes do tend to run pretty conservatively. Anyway, here are the before pictures of my house.

David finally decided that what he wanted to do was go fishing offshore, so I asked Dr. Robert Linder for some recommendations for guides, and booked a full day with Ron Garrison. Got up at 4am (ugh!), drove down to Lake Jackson and met up with David, Jayson, and Gary, for the traditional breakfast at Whataburger. Bernard, one of David’s poker buddies, met us at the dock. We set out in pretty rough seas for the three-hour journey to the reef. David reeled in the first catch of the day, a bonita. After a quick start, including a nice kingfish for Jayon, things got kinda slow, despite Gary and Bernard’s efforts of providing a little chum. Still, we had a good time of it, and did not come away empyhanded: 3 red snapper, two tuna, a kingfish, and a dorado.
