Exciting Family News!

On February 23rd as I stood in a feisty steel mill at the edge of Houston, I received a phone call from my sister Alicia. I had to call her back because the pneumatics were far too loud for casual phone conversation.

A few minutes later, the return call was made and with that phone call I learned of great news: My sister Alicia is engaged to Dwane!

Apparently Dwane brought Alicia up to the green mountains and on a beautiful Sunday Monday morning proposed. The ring is from the 1920’s and is shiny and shown in the image above.

I don’t believe any dates or anything have been set yet but I’m very pleased to welcome Dwane into the DiDonato family tree. He’s extremely bright, entertaining, and will treat my sister well. (he’d also be an excellent rock climber. At a height of over 2 meters he will rival even Devin in his ability to skip moves)

yay!

Congratulations Leesha!! I wish you countless years of joyful marryment!

And Congratulations to Dwane! Welcome to the Family! I’m excited that you will be a brother in law.

    I’m sorry Dwayne. I’ve lived with MikeD and I don’t envy you being even slightly related to him. Congratulations on the engagement though!

    Congrats Sister of Mike D which I only know through interweb stories and media!

    p.s. I don’t skip moves, everyone else just adds superfluous ones.

    Don’t worry about Sander.

    Besides…not many geeks out there could even handle his ultimate geekery/Sanderism. Not to mention the fact that he’d scare 99.99% of them away.
