Staples stole Bernie's personality

I swear, someone has to have been following around Bernie as inspiration for the latest Staples commercial while he hits every grocery store in town, the post office, Aubuchon Hardware, Costco, or Cowl's. For instance, a play by play of his latest trip to the post office:

Bernie: "Oh, I thought it would be busy in here!"

Post Office Lady: That's because everyone thinks we close at 12:00pm on Saturdays."

Bernie: "OH BOY, I THINK I'M GOING TO GO BACK OUTSIDE AND COME BACK IN!"

Directions to Bow Lake

Had to have at least been written in 1984. Check the white-out.

More maps!

As kids, EAM, ELM, and I spent a ton of vacays up at Bow Lake in New Hampshire. Even back then, Bernie was a fan of written directions and running maps.

Recreating Bernie & Cheryl's wedding

My goal in life is to have a wedding in the same spirit as that of my parents: simple, unpretentious, a guest list capped at 125, NO BRIDAL SHOWER, and most importantly, everyone has a GOOD TIME.

As Bernie has been cleaning out his voluminous paper files, he so timely stumbled upon the Bernie and Cheryl Wedding Budget. It is pretty awesome, especially the fact that "3 Cases Bud" tops the liquor list. Cheryl thinks the reason the Amherst Women's Club no longer allows liquor (only beer and wine) and requires a bartender is because of their party. I LOVE THEM. They also unfortunately actively enforce their fire code.
