Best Man on the Job<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fri., June 8\u2014New York\u2014<\/strong>I intended to spend the day gazing around but I ended up all morning on the telephone.\u00a0 A hot, muggy day–sunny and steamy–but very nice.\u00a0 I picked up J. at 3:10 pm and we drove in heavy slow traffic up 3rd<\/sup> Avenue, across 118th<\/sup> Street to First and out over the Willis Ave. Bridge and on to Greenwich.\u00a0 I was told that a toast was in order for tonight and nearly collapsed but that turned out not to be true.\u00a0 We went to the rehearsal and things went smoothly.\u00a0 The rehearsal dinner was very nice and the toasts were very touching.\u00a0 T. and I eventually G. went to Tumbledown Dicks and stayed until 2.\u00a0 Mr. P. growled at us from the landing when we came in.\u00a0 Top bunk J\u2019s room.<\/p>\n

Sat., Jun 9–Greenwich, CT—<\/strong>The wedding. Got up early enough and went out for a walk with T. and C.\u00a0 I sat down in every available corner to work on my toast and try to come up with a whooping last line.\u00a0 I sat out by the swimming pool in the steaming heat and, this time, finally boiling sun. We suited up and got to the church in plenty of time. There was a \u201chard feelings” other wedding in progress.\u00a0 After it was over, the bride\u2019s mother came charging up the aisle demanding to know where their flowers had gone.\u00a0 We said , \u201cThe ushers took them,\u201d and she said, \u201cWhose ushers?\u201d in a screech.<\/p>\n

The ceremony began with only a slight delay at 2:05 and proceeded beautifully.\u00a0 C. burst into tears at the end of her short walk up the aisle and things got underway.\u00a0 The ceremony was short and sweet.<\/p>\n

I drove with J. and C. R. to the reception. I was getting very nervous by this time but enjoyed myself nonetheless.\u00a0 My toast, followed by a reading of a couple of telegrams and a short decent description of J. and of our life and times and the jumping on me story about Leslie.\u00a0 My finale was:\u00a0 May you always awake at the top of the morning, live in the best of days and sleep wherever the hell you like.<\/p>\n

After J. and L. left, J, P. and I drove back to the P.\u2019s house.\u00a0 We took a swim, then went out to the Jardines and then I drove C. R. home to Khakum Wood and headed to NYC with a big cigar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
