Tonight Molly and I went to the wedding of two Princeton grads, Maureen Monagle '04 and Spence Miller '02. It was a great experience to see a wedding in the chapel-- the music was amazing and Spence and Maureen looked very happy.
After a quick "feet-raising" therapy session at our house we were off to the Cherry Hill Country Club here in town. I am pleased to report that we took a number of turns on the dance floor...which was closed (for us at least the party was raging on when we left) by the classic New Jersey Trifecta...."Rosalita" by Bruce Sprinceton followed by "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, and closing with "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. Now, Journey is from Canada, but since this song closed the Soprano's series it has become an honorary anthem of the Garden State. Molly and I represented ourselves well on the dance floor although we had to learn to leave room for the baby during the slow dances.
She was elated when people were surprised to learn she was two weeks from her delivery date...lots of praise was coming her way. I didn't point out that the black tent dress is Houdini-like in disguising things, and if they saw her in a t-shirt this morning they would have thought she was having quads. Since I am the one pushing for an 8+ pounder, I kept my mouth shut (if only this sound judgement could apply to blog entries as well. Oh well, the internet has always been confessional since that Lonleygirl15 ruse five years ago.) It was a great night and we had a ton of fun...still babysitter free which is really nice. Spence's Navy SEAL friends were great table mates and it was fun catching up with some Princeton alums. There were a number who graduated in this decade who were on their third child, had been to grad school, mortgages, etc. All were solidly into their real lives. What the heck have I been doing for the last fifteen years?

What have you been doing for the last 15 years? That's easy...watching BC football and basketball! Is the baby's middle name going to be EagleAction? :) Good thing you found Molly who got you on the right track!
what the heck is this censorship? There is a removed post "comment deleted." What is this, North Korea? Let freedom ring.
As for Wendy, I will have you know I also did quite a bit of community service over the past fifteen years. After giving selflessly to the world, I am ready to do something for Molly and me.
Dude,
Journey from Canada?? Really? "When the lights go down in the city, and the sun shines on the bay," they ain't talking about Ottawa. Much love from the Left Coast. N.B. If there was an editing feature on this, there'd be no need for censorship.
