I don't mind getting older. That's not bad news at all, considering the alternative. But getting older doesn't have to mean you're old.

waiting for cuz to call, or actually seeing her.

Did you see her at least? (clearly I skimmed).

We went to our friend's wedding shower, which as small and surprisingly fun. We bought stuff off the registery (boring) instead of buying embarrassing lingerie (uncomfortable). But I realized how I loved getting registry gifts.

Anyhow....

Hey, there's only one cure for getting older, and last I checked, the cure was worse than the disease.

Which is my way of saying, still going to Lush tomorrow at Pasadena. Do you need anything from the container store?

OH! so random, Lori went to the shower with me. As she walked in, a woman yells "Lori! What are you doing here!" It was one of the rockclimby people she knows and I've met years ago. She's the aunt of the bride. How's that for random?

Also, the bride's granny invited us to come camping with her and go rockclimbing. We had never met her before but her husband was a big time old school rock climber.

CUTE!

But getting older doesn't have to mean you're old.

According to my charts:

Skipping a strip club? Getting old. (Unless you have a migraine exemption.)

Skipping karaoke? Not getting old.

So I think you might be in the clear.

I was thinking about going out dancing with JZ tonight, but we both got wiped from doing the Mission tour with her visiting bro and partner. But we went out dancing two weeks ago, so my Not Getting Old card got punched for at least six months.

Did you see her at least?

I did. This is a cousin I met for the first time (and only) when driving to LA in 2002. I'm not sure where I got a Hispanic relative, but there she is. Just as crazy as a New Mexico philosophy professor should be. Her classes must be a blast.

Man, I love karaoke. I like to sing, but not on stage or anything. If they can pass the mike to me, maybe. In a group, probably. Out loud with no mike? All the time, karaoke or no.

I don't remember Specifically Charlie's reaction (or Don's for that matter) -- but I do seem to remember Don's ex seeming interesed in Charlie.

Speaking of singing, what cracks me up everytime is grocery shopping late at night and realizing that everyone in the store (all 5 of us) are singing along with the Muzak.

According to Hec's version of youth/old, my Not Getting Old card has probably gone through the washing machine too many times to be much good anymore. Oh well. I lost interest in nightclubbing years ago.
