It is incontheivable how quickly time flies when you’re in love and having fun.

The Princess Bride was the first movie I ever saw with the youth group. I was confused at first, because we sent two boys to the video store and they came back with a movie called "the princess bride"... but I stopped being confused when they turned it on. It's been my favourite ever since. The funniest story I have about that - went to a stanley cup playoffs party once - ended up being the ONLY girl in a room full of boys (awkward!) but the game was a blowout - Leafs were killing the Sharks if I remember right... so they turned on the princess bride. An entire room full of tenth grade boys... *grin* Really great movie. Have you read the book? It's about twice as funny than the movie. --Allie *grin* Happy (belated) anniversary.

One of Coach Finkbein's friends was there visiting and they came out and played a pickup game - the young guys against the older guys. All Geoff remembers is that the guy was little and shaggy and he kept wondering who he was - oh, and he wasn't any good at basketball. Later on somebody told him that was Bob Dylan and that he played guitar. The coolest part is that after the game they all went inside and Bob Dylan played and sang for them. Geoff didn't think he was very good! ha!! He also remembers the setting as the quintessential 60's "pad", i.e. beanbag chairs and shag carpet and that he was very uncomfortable and wierd. That was 1969. Oh, one more tidbit - Coach Finkbein's wife was the Romper Room lady in Phoenix who gained notoriety for going to Sweden and getting an abortion. Geoff's life is an untold story.

What do we live for but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?

You and Diane have been a HUGE blessing in my life as mentors and "spiritual parents". I pray that my marriage someday can be as authentic and genuine as yours. I know it hasn't always been easy...I've watched some of the times it wasn't. But I'm so thankful that you both have stuck together through everything you've been through. Congratulations and may God bless you with many more happy years! I love you both SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!

"Do we have to have the kissing part?" "Captured by pirates is good!" "Get used to disappointment." "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means..." "Boooooooo.

Based on yesterday's "crisis" perhaps I should not say this, but TPB has one of the two best uses of a cuss word I ever heard. (Bill Cosby in "Himself" is the other.) Congratulations! Perhaps we could re-publish that old poster “All I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten” as “All I Need To Know I Learned from ‘The Princess Bride’”.

“Do we have to have the kissing part?”
“Captured by pirates is good!”
“Get used to disappointment.”
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…”
“Boooooooo. Booooooooo…… The Queen of putrescence!!!”
“What was that for? I won’t be seeing you again since I’m killing myself in the morning. Won’t that be nice. – She KISSED me!”
“I don’t mind so much.”
