Those rides scare the hell out of me! When I was about 13, we went to Six Flags over Georgia. I was the only one in the family who could not ride the Great American Scream Machine! My dad offered me five dollars and a shrimp dinner, just to ride it--and I still couldn't do it. Then my dad (asshole) said, "Well, why don't you just go ride the merry-go-round!" I did ride one roller coaster at Six Flags. I can't remember what it was called, but it was very low to the ground, and that didn't scare me--that was just fun! So it's the height more than the motion. For example, I can't even ride a ferris wheel, though it's moving slowly. But I can ride through a "haunted house", going very fast--because the track is level with the floors. The Boy’s got guts! Those rides scare the hell out of me!

It sounds like it could be Howard Behrens. We bought one of his prints on our honeymoon on Catalina Island, and we've always loved him. ;) Happy New Year! Glad to see you're back!

I have a friend who is a huge Nine Inch Nails fan, too. I think he strolled down the aisle to something more cliche, though (Canon in D?). Happy 2009 to you! PS Hot dress at the wedding! You look great. I honestly don’t know how anyone has been posting over the holidays.

We must be short or something. Love your dress, too! Your husband looks a little stressed... Happy 2009!
