Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize with the UN Commission on Global Climate Change, my friends have started getting married, and the kitchen herb garden is growing tall.
I just got back from Minneapolis where two friends who met at Goddard Space Flight Center in the summer of 2006 got married. Congratulations Luke and Rayna! It was great fun to see friends, reminisce, and dance. It delights me how natural it was to see them again. We practically breathed each other for ten weeks then went our separate ways. Many of these people I hadn't seen for over a year, but it seemed simple to pick-up where we left off. That has been the case with many of my friends who I have moved away from over the years and it gives me hope that it will be the case with many others. Besides going to the wedding, I went to the Mall of America to ride roller coasters, ate lunch with the bust of the Pope at Buca de Bepos, and walked around downtown.
Of course going to a wedding makes me think of my own "special day". Even if I never find my Prince Charming I want to invite everyone to come celebrate with me because it would be one helluva party. There are important people in my life who have never met each other and might not cross paths except at my wedding. That sounds very ego-centric, but I realize that is the case with all of my friends, which is why I look forward to meeting your important people at your wedding (or wedding-like party).
One thing I realized yesterday is that every group I'm close to loves to dance. And that makes me happy. So all I can say is that if I do ever get married, we are going to need a wicked huge dance floor and its going to be going all night.
And now for something completely different...
