Previously, on this blog: The Grand Canyon.

And now, the conclusion...

The wedding went very well, though it was a bit cold for my taste (it was an outdoor wedding.) But the reception was indoors and there was an open bar, which most people enjoyed.

The next day the bride's family hosted a lunch but apparently they have cats and so my allergies kicked in. (Cats = evil!) But I managed to survive and get back after that to L.A. Our final day there was spent with some sight-seeing - Rodeo drive, Sunset Blvd. We couldn't quite get to Mann's Chinese theatre because that was the day of the Leatherheads premiere and so it was blocked off and they were setting up the red carpets and so on.

There's not much to tell really, other than about the usual tensions about early morning flights and airports. Suffice to say I got back with no luggage missing. I did get confirmation that in my absence the Condo sale went through and I've picked up my keys. So, moving in will keep me busy for the next few weeks. Also, my company's new office building was opened - not sure if I like it entirely, but I do have a partial view of the sea - I'll have to post some pictures one of these days...

THE END.

Good luck with the move.

A view of the sea? Lucky. My office is in the basement.

Did you stop and see Hoover Dam? I found that to be one of those wonders that pictures don't do it justice, you gotta be there to grasp it.

I like seeing pictures of people's lives, sooner rather than later please!

As far as stories go a bit of an anti-climax but you've got to work with the material available!

Allergic to cats? That's something for the 'things you didn't know about me' section!

Thanks Auntie. The view is a plus, on the other hand it is SO cold in this new building.

PB, I didn't stop at Hoover Dam - I did that on my last trip and was on a bit of a schedule this time around.

Dan, I kinda figure all the recent blogs have been a bit more personal, so I put that section on hiatus. I'll have to dust it off the next time I have one of those TV.com milestone blogs.

I couldn't imagine living with cats, Lin, I start having breathing issues within an hour.

Sounds like you enjoyed everything but the wedding!

I can usually visit homes with cats if I take some allergy medication beforehand, but in this case I was unprepared I guess.

You're right George, it was a bit anticlimatic, but it was a great night and a happy occasion for all involved.

Ruth, yes, the sea has a nice calming effect. Perfect at work.

I miss so many Sunday blogs.
I detest outdoor weddings.

Congrats on the condo going thru, man.
