Another column by Arthur

For those of you who may not get to purchase the Thomasville Times, here's this week's column that Arthur wrote. Funny fellow!

"Last week I wrote about making decisions and how sometimes you know they're the big life-altering ones.
Well, anyone who's taken that road from engagement to wedding knows that there are a lot of other decisions to be made, and they have a hierarchy all their own.
Perhaps the biggest is where to do the deed and what size it should be. So, in the spirit of the presidential primary season, Bridgett put up a poll online to guage voter feelings on this pressing issue of domestic tranquility. Eloping took the big early lead, while big church wedding has been making a strong late surge, but eloping is still far and away the leader so far.
We of course do have our own opinions and unlike our presidential candidates, we may not necessarily follow the popular vote. But then again, we might.
Next down the list might be the honeymoon. There's a whole world of options out there and of course, there's a little thing called a budget too. Here again, we've already narrowed down to a pretty short list, but we're still open to other options as well.
Splitting time at the number two spot would have to be the reception. The where what and how of it all again meets with that thing called a budget.
And within all of these decisions are countless other ones collectively called “the details.”
“The details” are where many man's ship has come crashing up against the rocks.
Remember those probes that crashed into Mars never to be heard from again? Somebody got a detail or two wrong. Remember when they launched the Hubble telescope and it couldn't focus? Oops, a little detail there.
Gustave Flaubert is most often credited with saying, “God is in the details,” while Aby Warburg is often credited with saying “the devil is in the details.” Whether you associate your details with a higher or lower power, looks like we better get 'em right.
Oh, did I mention I'm more of a “big picture”man? Luckily, we have time to work out all those details, and my honey is a harsh task master of the detail. They won't have much of a chance to run amok with her on the case.
Now if I can just figure out why everyone was congratulating me and offering their condolences to her this past week."
