I don’t know what is going on. Maybe there is something in the air. Maybe global warming. High gas prices. The weak dollar. The mortgage crisis. Brett Favre talking about coming out of retirement. But something is very wrong in the world. Allow me to explain.
On May 15th, my brother got engaged.
Last weekend, my friend Matt got engaged.
Yesterday, my friend Lucia got engaged.
So in basically 2 months, 3 of my best friends have gotten engaged. I do not understand at all. Why the timing? If I had paid more attention in statistics I would probably realize that there is nothing out of the ordinary about this happening, but still.
Oh well. I wish them all the best, the damn abandoners.

It appears sir, that there are more Smacky’s out there than I imagined! Just some spell it a bit differently
On the 4th your cousin Meg got engaged. I advise all to drink bottled water for awhile. Must be a love bug in the water supply or something.
Geez, I had totally forgotten about that one!
you think that is bad, try taking a vacation with someone who just got engaged… we had a great time, but the love sick puppy stuff… gag!
Oh don’t worry. Our family vacation is next week. Luckily Phil and Helen are pretty good about that sort of thing.
Here’s an idea: you could get a mail order bride and be engaged too!
Alternatively, you could up the ante on the “Find Nathan a Girlfriend” game. Grapes for the girlfriend, but, say, cherries for a fiance.
Goddamn hobos!
To be fair, I woke up one morning with a knife at my throat and Audrey told me that if she didn’t have a ring in a week, she’d cut off my testicles in my sleep.
I guess that would hurt less than if she did it while I was awake, but I wasn’t willing to take the risk.
