You know Chris, my best friend from high school, practically the only friend from back home with whom I stay in contact. I was the best man in his wedding way back in 1999. That one didn't work out so well (I would have warned him if I'd thought it would do any good). Today he tells me he's ready to tie the knot again on Tuesday. This time no warnings are necessary, and I can offer up my most sincere congratulations. I only wish I could make it back to Delaware to offer them in person. Good luck you two! Now on a totally unrelated note: Some people have called me "witty" from time to time. I guess once in awhile I am able to come up with a well-timed, appropriate and insightful one-liner. It's not easy, though. Making a witty remark requires the brain to make an association between two contrasting ideas, and once those synapses fire and make that connection, the witty comment must be fast-tracked to the mouth to ensure proper comedic timing, thus bypassing any filters that normally keep you from blurting out something inappropriate. Most of the time the quick wit is good for a laugh, but once in awhile a comment that was meant to be funny comes out really, really wrong and people's feelings get hurt. I had a moment like that on Friday, and all I can say now is that I'm sorry, and I was not intentionally trying to be hurtful. Call me an idiot, or call me too witty for my own good. Either way, I hope you'll forgive me, Danielle. That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a productive Monday so far. I sure haven't.

Just maybe! Even the part where I almost died added a little extra spice to the mix. On Saturday, Jennifer and I hung out again. We relaxed. We had dinner. It was good. It's too soon to elaborate further in a public forum. Yesterday was also tons of fun. Danielle came over yesterday morning to do some laundry and take me to run some errands, y'know, since my car is still in the shop. My jeans have been feeling extremely loose lately, so I figured it was time to buy a new pair. Now, I've been wearing pants with a thirty-eight inch waist for almost as long as I can remember, and even those were getting to be pretty snug. Maybe I was at thirty-six inches in high school, but I must have been nineteen or twenty years old when I got to be the size that I am. Or was. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I ended up fitting into a pair of pants with a thirty- five inch waist. It was a really great feeling! And I look damn good in these pants, if I do say so myself. Yesterday afternoon Mike Davis came by to visit, which was definitely a special treat. Mike and I were very good friends back when I lived in Delaware. We hadn't seen each other in five years, and hanging out was really just like old times. We went out and had lunch, and later I invited a few people over for some socializing. David, Danielle, Niki, Julie and The Cza all came by and we watched some TV and played some games. I had a great time, and everyone there seemed to enjoy themselves a lot. So, between Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend was exciting, action-packed, and more fun than should be allowed by law. And now it's time to work. Thanks to Julie I was able to get into work on time today. Hopefully I'll get my car back soon. There's been no news on that as yet.
Current Mood: happy
