What Do You Mean The Toilet Is Backed Up?

So there we were, out in the middle of a vineyard with the nearest town about a 10 minute drive away and what does the owner of the place announce over the PA in the middle of the wedding reception as we're just digging into the hors d'ouvres and finishing our third glasses of wine, beer or water? "The pump has stalled and the toilets are backing up so we'd appreciate it if you men could go out into the vineyard rather than use the facilities. And ladies, if you don't need to use toilet paper, we'd appreciate it if you didn't." Nice. Good thing I have a bladder the size of a small country. Aside from the toilet snafu, the wedding went off without a hitch and everyone had a good time eating, drinking and being merry. The reception party continued on into the night at Ed's house, with over half a keg of beer in tow, and then this morning I met up with Nora from Seattle, Ho and Brian for breakfast at the Cup and Saucer on Hawthorne. After a bit of book shopping, we headed over to Ho and Brian's friend D's house to get him, go to Dot's for drinks, pick up Nora's palm pilot at Sam's folks house, take a few pics and head back home. I'm pretty sure we're all meeting back up later with Owen, Sam and his Nora later tonight for coffee or something so the party continues...
