After years of often daily attempts at humour and virtually any stray thought I could snare on my keyboard, I'm changing the name of this space from Such Is Life, to May I Present:. That should still allow me to post on a wide variety of topics, but steer the focus for readers to my most common writing efforts now, on Folk, Roots, Blues & Americana music!

Goin' To The Chapel...
Well, Mrs. That Dan Guy, several extended family members, and Yours Truly attended a wedding yesterday, here in The Land Of My Birth. Pretty snazzy affair - the reception hall looked just terrific, and the entire evening was well-planned, classy & entertaining.
Some random observations:
* If someone ever invented sweat pants and tops that looked like a suit and tie, they would be richer than Steve Jobs and Bill Gates combined. Who enjoys wearing formal attire for an entire day and night??
* Building designers must get huge laughs at conventions when they compare stories - "And in MY hall, we had seating for over 1500 people, but we only installed TWO toilets!!"
* Sitting in the church, which the men in our group could not negotiate their way out of, I noticed some signage up about "the bread of life". Made me wonder if I was more of a bagel person...
* Despite ample opportunity over many years to learn how to do so properly, I am much more like a tazered newborn deer on a dance floor than a future contestant on "So You Think You Can Dance"...
* Never, ever set up a photo booth at a wedding reception, serve alcohol, and then encourage guests to partake. One bewildered guest (as our group was emptying out) asked where the potted plant in my hands had come from...
* Joking out loud about hoping that the main entree would be Chicken Fingers may be frowned upon by one's spouse...
* Posing with random seniors keeps them guessing...
Chow for now....

Sigh......yes folks, the potted plant somehow appearing in the photo booth (Which is a story unto itself let me tell you! OMG!) and the "I wonder when the chicken fingers are coming" all belong to my beloved Mr. That Dan Guy..... Super!
Always beakin' off...
