Congratulations! You've won an all-expenses one-way trip to the wooded park by the university!
It might be harder to survive there than in my kitchen, but that's a you problem, not a me problem.

Well, that's done. The new addition to my left ring finger is going to take a little getting used to. #justmarried

Last night at the banquet, I found myself sitting across the table from my retired factory worker father, wondering if he had any idea he was chatting with an Italian noblewoman.

Well, the religious ceremony is still a few days away. But as of today, after this meeting with the mayor of #Acquasparta, Italy, I'm officially legally married.

Simple pleasures: I've been using third-party launchers on my phones for years, but I've always gone with the ones that adhere to (and in my opinion improve upon) the standard icons-on-a-grid format.

It's my birthday! I'm celebrating at the #KennedyCenter for probably one of the last worthwhile shows they'll ever have here. Soon, it'll be all Kid Rock, all the time.

Probably the best #photography I've ever pulled off. #Uganda, somewhere between #Kampala and #Adjumani. One of the greatest adventures I've ever been on.
(Interesting #langsky experience: In Adjumani, people -- especially children -- were CONSTANTLY coming up to me to practice their English.)
