I went to a wedding yesterday. My boss, Justinand his fiance, Lara, tied the knot. I can't even describe what a first rate night it was but I'll try. Great food, great band and it was held at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, beautiful. I ate, I danced, I sat, and I ate some more. They had my all time favorite things in the world, pigs in the blanket. I could have gone all night on those suckers. Our own Paul Shaffer sang his song, "It's Raining Men!" You can't get any better than that. Congratulations to Justin and Lara! It was a wonderful night. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.

The thing that I took notice of yesterday was when I was talking to people, nine times out of ten they asked me about my cats. "And how are the kitties?" If I heard that once, I heard it 100 times. After a while, I just thought, damn, I need a woman. I also felt like that because I wanted to dance more -- If you know anything about me, know this; I like to cut a rug. I did dance, thanks to Randi and Lori but my eyes were opened a little more by noticing different things about myself. The other great thing that happened to me yesterday was when I woke up; a break-dancing movie was on TV. I'd never seen this film before -- it was called Fast Forward. It was about a break-dancing group from Ohio, the Adventurous Eight. They came to NY to perform in the "Shootout," a talent competition. Great dialogue, great acting and great 80's everything. Thanks you Starz, that's worth $47 bucks for cable alone. I forgot a good story. Before the wedding, I picked up Walter. I got to his house and got stuck in the aftermath of the gay pride parade. And I mean stuck! There was a gay pride Fire Truck blocking the street and this big city bus couldn't get through. The city bus was right in front of me. We were stuck there for about a half hour. The Lord was paying me back for something. Finally, the truck behind the bus moved to the side and I was just able to squeeze behind the bus and get going.

On Saturday, I went out with my friend Tiffany. We had a great dinner. I had the risotto and she had the salmon. This place used to be a bar but they went high society on me. It was a refreshing change from the usual bar food. We talked about relationships and just how hard everything seems to be. Crazy world, am I right? I feel like I'm forgetting something? Oh yeah, Mom, I didn't get drunk this weekend, so you can rest easy. All in all, a great weekend!

Have a great day!
