this is going to be a short post. just wanted t update folks on what the haps is in my life. me and mrs.ktl visited dc this weekend and stayed with picker and mrs. picker., and we thank them for an awesome weekend. we had a great time watching the dawgs, eating brunch, hanging out, and some other debauchery. though, i was reminded of the fact that my wedding present to them consisted of a fun sweater for picker and nothing for mrs. picker. what i had intended was that i was going to give picker the sweater and then get something off their registry. which, of course, i never did. yes...i am, in fact, a fucking asshole. so i have to make it up to mrs. picker some how. i also had a chance to visit with my brother and his partner. they live in a nice place only a few blocks from picker. 2 cute dogs and ill post up some pictures of them soon. hopefully they'll be able to make it up here sometime in the near future.

anyway, here's the story of our 1st wedding anniversary. we decided to take a weekend jaunt to ithica, ny. full of wineries, a gorge, and a small college town, and only a few hours drive. but there was a nascar race in town, so all the rooms were totally booked...except for the honeymoon sweet at a very fancy hotel. when we arrive, it is nighttime and the place looks fancy and pretty. its a little two story number set a little ways back from the road, with forest all around and a quaint feel. we check in and come to find out that our room is total separate from the rest of the hotel. it is in fact a small tower. so we drag our bags up there and and you can't imagine our wondrous surprise when we opened the door.

okay everyone, read on and image this......a perfectly round room with a round bed in the center. at the head of the bed is where the jacuzzi bath resides. and what's this? our magical castle has a mirrored ceiling?! and whats that dangling from the mirrored ceiling.....a disco ball! this honeymoon suite truly does have it all! i know you all are jealous, and here are some fanciful pictures:






we saw the gorge, which is what ithica is kinda known for. we went to several wineries, and i even got carded and almost not served beer because my license looked suspicious.

well, here are some of the other pictures from our trip:
