	Carolyn The rewards and the dangers of candid photography. Not a good pic of Tom's brother John or of thorintatge, but a great shot of cari_rose, so it's a keeper. Wedding of Carolyn and Tom 6/20/09
	The Fathers l-r: Brother of the groom, father of the groom, groom, bride, father of the bride. Steve, who officiated, filled out the proper forms and got the necessary signatures, then gave it to his counterpart for delivery to the government. I latched on to the moment: "Using the vast power of my position as unofficial photographer, I want all of you to stand here."
	Cass and Mitch I posed judith_dascoyne and Mitch for several shots, so naturally the candid pic came out the best. Wedding of Carolyn and Tom 6/20/09
	Liz and Josh The rewards and dangers of posing people. The fill flash worked and you can see most of Liz' tat, yet the background is still overexposed. But the moment is captured and the good aspects of the picture make it worthy. Wedding of Carolyn and Tom 6/20/09

Continued from part the bubble and continuing to part the older brother's family.

Well, I got the check from Progressive today, so I guess it's official: They screwed up bigtime. If they had taken the final numbers we negotiated, valuing the car properly and working with Walser Collision and Glass for repair work, Progressive would have just fixed the car and saved themselves a lot of money.

As it is, I have a large check from Progressive and a banged-up but eminently drivable piece of "salvage" that will be great for another ten years if I want it to. Not my ideal resolution, but I'll take it.

Since I'll be in that neighborhood again, I have a mad desire to park in the exact same place -- a perfectly legal and safe spot under reasonable circumstances -- where the lady who backed into the Emerald Starship can see her handiwork. I'm not a vengeful person, but her karma needs some balance..
