I am proud as all hell to announce to FReeperdom that Bacon Man, my best friend of more than 20 years, and his amazing lady Hap have tied the knot! They were married yesterday afternoon, May 15, 2004, in a small ceremony at the Chapel at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, attended by family and friends.

Please join me in a huge Mazel Tov for the happy couple!
