Not too long ago, and on a whim, I sort of tracked down my best friend from grammar school through Instant Messenger. I had not seen or talked to him almost thirteen years. I knew we still had a lot in common when it was discovered we were both stoned for our reunion conversation. Anyway, I met up with him over Thanksgiving. It was pretty cool to see him, and we still keep in touch online. Uhh, so, that's my pointless story. Right.

I did the same thing: Contacted a best friend from high school. I was totally disappointed. She acted like she didn't even want to talk to me. Later I found out that she was quite the druggie after high school, so that would explain her lack of emotion. (Yeah, totally had nothing to do with my personality, right?) So, that's MY pointless story. Yep.

Peyton received that Fisher Price Farm thing too, except the damn thing only works when it wants too.

I thought the cock a doo doo joke was funny. Of course I'm practically on no sleep right now. Glad Andrew finally got the lavishment of gifts he deserves :-)

I was recently contacted by someone I went to high school with (also through Classmates) and we've had a blast catching up ever since. I hadn't talked to him in roughly 24 years. And, good for Andrew! I can relate since I don't have kids yet I'm constantly forking over my hard earned money for gifts and, ugh, school fund raisers for other people's children. It ain't cheap, that's for sure.

Naturally, Uncle Bob (hell, I knew him when he was just "Cousin Bob") seems to have embellished the facts just a bit with his memories of a fateful year in his life (and one that, after 22 years of occasional therapy and quests to go "find" myself, I am finally able to face). That story about a "paperback book of Beatles lyrics?" Never happened. It was, in fact, a hand-written copy of John's lyrics to Nowhere Man...signed, numbered, and with a letter of authenticity. Apparently Bob thought they clashed with his Farrah Fawcett poster (you know the one) and so "it had to go." That's all he said. That story about "Hot Throbbing Vulvas" is the god's-honest truth though. Hell of a memory, that boy. Funny he doesn't remember the stories of "stabbing people in the back." Symbolic, doncha think? You know...somehow it's all okay though. I think he is trying to make peace with me after all this time. I mean, he referenced the "It's a Small World" theme. Lemme tell you a story: What he didn't tell you, folks, is that during those fateful five months, I often found myself getting particularly freaked out by a rather large, cumbersome mole that took up most of the left side of my girlfriend's chin. It was hairless, and so was the mole. (rimshot). Anyway, sometimes I found myself attempting to stare into her eyes and naturally, all I could focus on was the mole. I know what you're thinking..."Wait a minute! I saw this in that Austin Powers movie! The scene with the kid from "The Wonder Years!" Hey, I saw it too, and I'm telling you, it happened to me first. BIG mohonking mole. So back to the song. After another particularly grueling date where I wrestled once again with trying to figure out if I could kiss her without also kissing the mole, I came home all depressed and slightly horny. My ol' roomie made me some Swiss Miss (tiny marshmallows), wrapped my grandma's quilt around my shoulders, and hummed "It's a Small World After All" until I felt better. And since then, it's always cheered me up. What a guy. Dave

Dear Dave, Could you tell your brother to ask Chris Robinson if he would tell his wife to stop acting? Because she can't. Act, that is. Kate Hudson can't act. Thank you.

I'm all over it, Laurie. You know she had a stand-in with her in the delivery room last week along with a hairdresser and make-up person, right? Plus the whole thing was filmed in Panavision.

Hi Chloe, I actually got an email from him through a third party a couple of years ago and thought it was just too weird...and so I didn't respond. It's still weird but pretty funny. I bought the book and have a badge that says "I am not Dave Gorman, are you?" If I get over to England I will definitely try to see his show or track him down...it's the least i can do.
