Reflecting on the guys getting fitted for the wedding, Its a good thing the taylor didn't measure Ennis's inseam or ask him which way he dressed,  Ennis would have freaked out and Ellery would have had a good laugh!

from my own experiences in the rental tuxedo world...they don't fit them to that extent.  After all, they aren't buying them, so the kind of alterations they make are to sleeves, shoulders , trouser cuffs.  That's how it was when my former husband rented his tux.

Louisev,  don't worry about any E&E updates.    Get yourself fixed up first, or at least well medicated!   LOL.

Lucise can entertain us with plenty of E&E photos until then.    ;D

well after some timely help from anke (pipedream) I got to the emergency hospital here in Saarbrücken and got a nice big SHOT.  And a prescription for narcotics, which I will take when the shot wears off.  And I know how to get back there in case I need another shot!  And the best part is, I can go back there first thing Monday and have the surgery done immediately, which is the first available moment when the oral surgeon comes, which is what I need.

there was one update tonight - "The Bad Guys", but with the emergency room and all that, I don't have another chapter in me I don't think.  Even if I am comfortably numb at the moment.

I hope that shot takes the edge off the pain for you, Louise, and you get everything sorted on Monday.  And don't worry about updating - we can all be patient and just hope you feel better soon  :) PJ x

I am sitting here in the office, staring out the window when a truck pulls up to the fish place downstairs (my office is on top of a wholesale fish business). It's a little refrigerated seafood truck, here to pick up their supplies for the fish market and on the side it says: CANTRELL SEAFOOD. LOL, I am not making this up! I wish I had a camera...

Leslie yesterday I was sitting in a cafe and the guy in front me leaned over to reveal .... yup, the Calvin Klein lettering on the waist band of his undies. I had my mobile phone camera with me but I thought I might get arrested trying to take a photo up close! Are we inhabiting some kind of Twilight Zone here in which we are slowly being relocated into Laramie Land?

Hmm. Oh, my! You've come very close to displaying a photograph of my inner Ellery.  :)


This photo first struck me because of the lovely expression in the eyes. Glad it resonated with you Fred.
