the very long wedding post

My friends Emily & Jud are getting married in a few months, so I decided to spend the evening browsing wedding blogs (i know, i know...how miserable...) trying to round up a few good resources/inspirations for her. Just in case.

But my work here is done now. Good luck & God's speed.

back from the dead

“Three Ds and a C”, Edgar mumbled, reluctantly
surrendering the Report Card. “Three Disinterments and a Cremation!”
exclaimed Father, dabbing his cheeks with a blindfold,
“Son, we may just get you that new bicycle after all!”.
~ Mrs. Tex Benitez of A Column Inch

While I've been patiently awaiting the arrival of a gift for my dear cousin Katie, playing with my brand new negative scanner (!!!), and prepping for the launch of Emory University's creativity.emory.edu (a new creativity & arts initiative created by the university), I guess that I've neglected poor little Curios.
So, here we are, back from the dead, to share the most recent post from A Column Inch. Mrs. Benitez never fails to satisfy my morbid appetite with her imaginative and darkly worded vignettes .

And for the bonus round, here is the exclusive premier of photos from Margie's good-bye for awhile party. (yeah yeah negative scanner!) You can find more about Margie and her upcoming transatlantic adventures by clicking here.
