All the people who looked older got drinks without being carded. Most of my cousins who are about my age were not carded. My sister was.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In my state you have to card everyone.
I once saw Menahem Pressler (world famous pianist) denied a bottle of Cabernet at the grocery store because he didn't have his ID with him. He is 90 years old.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think that's right. At all. If a 90 year old wants to drink, fucking let him.

A classical music fan in the next aisle asked for the privilege of purchasing it for him, and he wrote her a nice note with his autograph.

My workplace, folks: I cut 6 inches off my hair and it took 2 hours for anybody to notice/mention it. I've been here 5 months and sometimes I wonder if half the people know my name yet.
C'mon, flea's coworkers! Get with the program!

The only weddings I've been to have been Methodist and Mormon. Neither of which do the drinking thing. So I have no idea what the alcohol etiquette is on weddings.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I picked my wedding dress up from the tailor's this afternoon. I tried it on to be sure the length was right (SPOILER: it is), and the little Greek seamstress's husband was there and told me I was beautiful and asked if I was married.
"This is her WEDDING DRESS!" The seamstress said.
"Ah," said the husband. "Tell your husband he's lucky he got to you first!"
I opted to not point out he already had a wife. Cutiehead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw. That's the part of wedding planning that helps makes up for the awful parts.
