High Praise
Time for a patented Anecdote:
Arriving late at my apartment sunday, after a long weekend of birthday celebrations, I get a phone call from some friends, Jason and Lumi. They're drinking, and as usual, when they drink, they watch their wedding video. I was apparently, in their words, "something else" on the video. So they were calling to let me know that it might be a while before I get a thank you note because they're trying to figure out what exactly to write in it. I was the icing on the cake at the reception. Schmoozing with family members, convincing people to cut loose, getting people out onto the dance floor, and most importantly, not hogging the limelight. When it came time to focus everything on bridge and groom, I was the attentive guy leading the applause.
And now, with something like 6-8 inches of snow on the ground, and freezing rain on its way tomorrow night, the idea of visiting for new years doesn't sound too shabby.
And as Lumi put it, "You're allowed to bring any girl you're banging."
