Jon called this morning, arresting me from my Waste. He was driving his friend Scott out to look at a Range Rover, to perhaps purchase, in Ballard, and wanted me to tag along. As the weather slowly deteriorated from a dull overcast through a light drizzle towards a steady rain, we looked at the vehicle, �inspected� it (which involved Scott and Jon crawling around and peering into every nook and cranny and me standing with my hands in my pockets), headed to Mike�s Chilli Bar to have incredibly greasy chili (should�ve left out the jalapenos) then went back so Scott could officially purchase it. We (Jon and I) dropped Scott off, and headed downtown to pick up Jon�s girlfriend Anneke. Then they headed to Bellevue, and I headed back home.

The point of all this is that I found out today Jon is getting married. Yep, that�s right, Anneke has the ring, I�ve seen it. They�re getting hitched next August. I swear to go I�m not making this up. It looks like I�ll need a tux� and I wouldn�t mind having a date for that matter. It�s a ways off, but knowing my luck, I�ll need all the time I can get to find one. Any interested applicants can email me at jake_reeder@hotmail.com

Other than that, jon invited me to Thanksgiving at his parent�s house, and even though that means I�d be blowing off my family�s typical big get-together in Chehalis, I�ve actually thought about going.

And now, to re-invigorate an old tradition.
