Morning, all. What did I miss?
Yo -- If you are still thinking of a killer date for that other man in your life -- consider taking them to see "The picture of Dorian Grey" at the Studio Theatre -- The company is Sonnet Reperatory Theater. Tickets are $20, which is a pretty cheap date... and If you like spooky stories, Oscar Wilde, or handsome actors you're bound to have a good time. Just sayin'.
I don't know what else you missed but there is some enormous reptile in the thread, and I got married in the North Fork of Long Island. Strange Days Indeed.

Wikipedia is bad. Hyperlinks are evil. I opened one page and started reading. Found interesting hypelink, then another, and another, and another... And so on. And suddenly it is four hours later.
*yawn*
3 AM, definitely, it's time to sleep.
*yawns some more*
I see ... you met ... my cousin ....

Yes indeed, sir. One little ferry ride from Greenport. Beautiful.

we visited some wedding locations today
our favorite is a old country steading two villages away, it was on of the farms of the ruling House of Isenburg in the past.
cool added bonus: my grandma worked there as a cook between the wars, when it was still a steading of Seine Hochfürstliche Durchlaucht (His serene highness)Wolfgang Fürst von Ysenburg und Büdingen
it is beautiful, we heard good things about the food and the prices are reasonable and they organize a lot for you, takes a bit of stress away

LOL. I get that all the time in the bakery biz.
Customer: "What do you mean you don't have any pies?"
Me: "we make those custom, and we need 24 hrs notice."
C: "But I need it NOW!"
M: "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
OR ...
C: "Do you carry cannolis?"
M: "No, sorry."
C: "Really? You don't carry cannolis?"
M: "Um, no, no we don't."
C: "But I really want a cannoli."
M: "Well, I can sell you a muffin, howzabout that?"
C: "It's not the same. Can you make me a cannoli?"
M: "Um, no. Even if I knew where to start it has a shell that probably takes several hours to set correctly."
C: *huff*
C: "fine."

Pro tip: When you come to my store and tell me you really like the last of a particular item, and I tell you we won't be getting any more in, and you opt to come back in a week or two for it... it might be gone when you return. And it's not my fault!
That reminds me of the skill set I became aware of when I took my Mother shopping for a birthday present once.
After spending time admiring a matching top and bottom set at a store, she told me she wanted the top. I explained that I would happily get the bottom also but she declined, stating that with the matching top sold the bottom would be far less likely to sell and when she would come back in a week it would probably be at a reduced price. She stated that it would not always work (price reduction) and sometimes the piece might be sold but it worked often enough to make regular use of.
Of course, she wouldn't blame the shop workers if it weren't there.
That was probably about 18 years ago, so I am not sure inventory and pricing controls of the clothing industry will yield the same results now a days.

Shelter Island, then?
I haven't been there. I may have to one of these days.
Congratulations!
I live in Suffolk County, so that isn't that far from me. (Although far enough; Suffolk County is a big place.)
As for the play, good suggestion! I'll have to talk the new guy into going into the city again. Like many born-and-raised Long Islanders, the city is a distant, mysterious place to him. I don't get it. I go like once a week. But that's because I'm not from here...

Well..today's off to a great start. Just discovered that two of my three washing machines downstairs just turned off for no reason. So I had to put two loads of sopping wet laundry that's only semi clean into another machine while putting stuff to dry. All of this while avoiding idiots who were just hanging out in the laundry room talking about their grandkids...*Sigh*
