Aww, in neighbor news, my downstairs neighbors are getting married! If they can get their guest list pared down to under thirty people, it's probably going to happen at my aunt's house since she's the only person they know with a yard, and they don't want to spring for a venue rental. She's been Jeffrey's best friend for at least twenty (and maybe even thirty) years, and -- miracle of miracles -- SHE LIKES TIM. They can actually hang out together even if Jeffrey isn't around. She usually hates Jeffrey's boyfriends, but there are times when she would rather hang out with Tim than Jeffrey. And Tim *is* awesome aside from his cigarette smoking (uh, the lease I signed stipulated this was a non-smoking property. STOP STANDING BELOW MY LIVING ROOM WINDOWS AND LIGHTING UP).
(I don't want to buy them a physical wedding present, though. Jeffrey is in his fifties, and Tim is in his sixties, and they got rid of a *ton* of stuff -- some of which they gave to me because FIESTA WARE AND CAST IRON COOKWARE HELL YEAH! -- when Tim moved in, so they have precisely zero need for any more *stuff*. I'm thinking a restaurant gift certificate would probably be more appropriate, especially since we live no more than three blocks from at least four of the best restaurants in town!)
