I will be bald and ineffective over the next few days, as the missus and I head to Maine to attend the wedding of the couple pictured to the right. For those of you who know Noah, you might be chuckling to yourselves. Noah? Married? Yes, it's true.

One quick Noah story before I go...

Twelve years ago, Noah was among a group of four of us that did the whole Eurorail pass thing that so many tacky college-aged Americans do. Our plan was to meet Noah in Amsterdam.

There are two things worth noting about Noah at this point. He can get very caught up in what he's doing, causing him to be, well, flaky. Also, he can charm the pants off a nun. When we arrived in Amsterdam, we felt fairly certain that Noah wouldn't be there.

At the arranged meeting place, we looked around. No sign of Noah, so we approached the bartender, "We're looking for a guy named Noah?" From behind us we hear, "You guys know Noah? Hey! These guys know Noah!"

Noah had been in Amsterdam less than 24 hours.

Yes, it should be a good wedding. We do, after all, know Noah.
