Taking a Hiatus For Great Reasons

Published by on October 2, 2008 | 12 Responses

I’ll be away from BCB for the next week and a half. On Saturday, October 4th, I’ll be getting married and then me and the future wife — I’ll have to get used to saying that — will be heading off to Jamaica for a weeks worth of (hopefully) sun.

If I tried to bring my laptop to write about baseball on our honeymoon, she would kill me. I’m not sure I would blame her either. I need a break.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see everyone in a week and a half.

Congrats Chris. My advice to keep your marriage happy: ALWAYS remember to put the seat down

Congrats, dude. In the meantime, we'll make fun of you twice as much as usual.

Congrats Chris! daveinexile beat me to the punch on "Yes Dear", but others I've found that work are "That's cool" and "Whatever". Plus, there's always foot massages and back rubs. Lastly, get out of their way when they are shopping... Best wishes!!! And please, you have much better things to do than log onto a computer when you are on your honeymoon...

Congrats Chris! As for advise I’ll tell you what both my grandfathers (and my dad told me). Between them they had over 125 years of marriage and I can say I have not profited when tried going against this advise. After this month there is only one way you will have the final word ever again. Practice these words. “Yes”, “Dear”. May you both be happy and healthy for decades to come.

My lovely bride hated Dusty Baker when he was a Dodger. She hated him when he was a Giant. She hated him when he was our manager. She hated him after Game Six. She still hates him. Ain't love grand? Congrats, Chris.

Bob Costas? lol. Now I just need Buzz Bissinger in here to yell at me or something. Congrats, not only did your post crack me up, but I think you're the first spoof account in BCB history. BE PROUD

Wait, hold on a second here. You're a blogger, and you're getting married?! How does that work? Does she have to move into your mother/grandmother's basement/attic? If you two move out on your own, do you lose your ability to blog? Ouch, this is hurting my head...
