One of my best friends is getting married next weekend and the wedding festivities will span almost an entire week. He and is bride-to-be are very laid back, easy going folks, but their families are super hyped up about the "big event." Luckily the happy couple planned ahead and scheduled some very low key, time consuming activities throughout the week including a softball game, BBQ, and lawn mini-golf. It's really not that different from hanging out with them on any given weekend.
One thing that has me a little nervous is the distinct possibility that there are plans in motion to couple me up with someone(s) at the wedding. I'm all for meeting people the old fashioned way--in person, through mutual friends, at parties, etc. But KH and I have been friends for over 20 years. He's got stories about me of the really embarrassing variety. Up until now that wasn't an issue because he was in the dating world, too. But his fiance knows most of those stories now and still wants to marry him (God bless her). So my firewall of reciprocity is about to be compromised.
Which brings us to internet dating. I read this interesting commentary in Newsweek about friends playing matchmaker online.
Newsweek has a guest editor this week. Find out the surprising stand-in and read his editorial here.
There's buzz about Julia Roberts on David Letterman's show and a comment she made earlier this week. She said he is "so much funnier than other people who talk at this time of the evening." Yes, the obvious reference is to Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show. But it could also refer to Stephen Colbert, Ted Koppel, Larry King, or Chris Matthews. Talk amongst yourselves.
Dave also responded to some outrage about a few jokes he made on his show. Est quod est.
