Many of you had me pegged as the next one to go, but Mr. and the future Mrs. Dalrymple surprised us all (including my dearest Piper). Bear told me the news when we were on the beach in Brighton. My first reaction was not, "Congratulations" but the not so unexpected selfish remark, "Piper is going to kill me." But we were very happy to be the first to congratulate and party with The Bears. I asked Kevin for some guidance, "How did you know?" He answered in that wonderful frank way Kevin always does, "I always knew, so I figured what's the point of waiting."
The night they returned from Florence (where he did the deed) we decided to put the girls to bed early and wander around London. We smoked 5 J Birds, and laughed and reminisced about the "good times"
-Lubahn's quick thinking shower when the Darling's arrived at bonged-out Trail Lake. And Miller's surprising quick cleaning to de-chronic the house.
-Weiss enchanting every woman at the Vegas Ghost Bar
-The many times Lee would break into Lubbock and get some solo high time
-The last night in Chicago when Bear, Williams and I got drunk on red wine till Bear had to leave for the airport. Eventually pissing of Katie when he kept setting off the metal detector because he couldnt walk a straight line, and continued to walk into the side of it.
-That we both think Lee stole those fuckin deer plates. And how we both think Lubahn deserves it for his dog eating the only good shoes Lee has ever owned
So, let me be the first to say congratulations Bear and Katie. And that, we're down to 6 single men. We are growing up my friends. And the best thing about that is that we're growing old together.
Love and Always Openly Awkward Affection,

Congrats Kev. When Faust told me you and Katie were in Italy, I knew you were toast.
She's a great girl, you're a great guy, you're a great couple.
Congrats.

Faust, I love the hyperlinks you have set up on this....
So here's a quick story of how Faust almost ruined my engagement:
When I initially told Faust, I also told him I was concerned because I had hidden THE RING in his printer box that was on top of his book shelf in his very small flat. I was concerned because I wasn't sure how I was going to get it out with Katie being in front of me every moment (Katie and I stayed at Faust's place). I told him, my only chance would be if Katie took a shower that night I would have a moment to grab it.
Faust said: "I can get it out if you need me to"
Me: "I will give you some kind of code if I think you should do it, but otherwise I think I will be ok because I figure Katie will shower."
Later that day....
Me (to Katie): "Are you taking a shower tonight?"
Katie: Yes
Ok, so Im thinking I am in the clear.
Much Later that night (11 PM - Sunday Night). Faust walks Katie and I back to his flat so that he can take his key back with him. Katie and I's plan is to leave for Italy early Monday morning.
We get into Faust's flat. Me, Katie, and Faust. I have an urge to get high. I say to Faust,
"How bout we roll one up" and I give him a quick wink wink. (the wink wink meaning let's get high)
Faust (not being on the same page as me), without even thinking twice, turns to his book shelf and reaches for his printer box. Katie sits on the bed and watches, and asks with a bizarre tone in her voice:
"Adam, what are you doing?"
Faust replies: "WHAT?! Can I not grab my printer box?!"
Im thinking oh shit, you fucking idiot Faust and I gently push Katie down on the bed (acting as if I am just making a move) to block her view of Faust.
Katie pushes me off, leans back up as Faust walks out the room without saying good-bye. He walks into his hallway and starts coughing as a que for me to come out.
This is very bizarre at this point and I just say to Katie there must me something wrong with Faust.
I go into the hallway, Faust gives me a very large RING box, and I tell him that I can't just carry it back into the room. Everything is on RED ALERT at this point. Faust leaves and I leave the Ring box outside in the hall.
I go back into Katie's room, and blame the whole thing on Faust being in "one of his moods". Katie and I talk about how weird Faust was and how bizarre it was that he left like that.
So to make a long story short,... Katie finally took a shower, I got the ring, and the my secret was safe thanks to the fact that one of Faust's moods actually came in handy.
