Die Buchwalds

Chief Justice Rehnquist died yesterday, further proving my theory that it’s a bad idea for me to attend weddings as a married woman. This isn’t going to stop me from attending, mind you… I’m just a little concerned for all those important & influential people out there…
The day of our wedding, we lost Ronald Reagan. The very next wedding we attended, we lost John Paul II. Yesterday, my sister got married and there went the Chief Justice.

I have three more weddings to go to next month. Stay tuned.

Challenge Impossible is a blog written by two guys somewhere in the greater Pittsburgh area. They’re just starting out, so go read them.
Their title reminds me very much of my high school days and it makes me wonder how they came up with it.
