Donna Summer
On the Radio: Greatest Hits - Volumes I and II
I remember my sister buying this double album for me when I was 8. The day she brought it over and I
had to ask her who Donna Summer was. All of these songs, even the ones that aren't engrained in our collective
disco consciousness are so a part of my childhood. I would play it over and over while I rollerskated in
circles in the basement. Now I'm just left to wonder what happened to the *bonus* full color poster that was
promised on the label.

It was bound to happen. I've heard that you're not really a Washingtonian
until the day you walk outside to find a bright orange boot on your front driver's side tire.
Luckily I use my car about once a month, so it doesn't really dampen the spirit. But paying
up on all those parking tickets is dreadful at best.

I'm rallying Noel and Krista for an old fashioned girls weekend circa winter of
1995, when we used to buy a few bottles of wine and dish some serious girlie dirt. Now it
just seems so Sex in the City with Krista as the perfect
married-baby-perfectly-healthy-dark-gorgeous-haired-Charlotte type and Noel with the whole
sophisticated-sassy-Miranda-lawyer-thing going on. Which leaves me to supply the trippy (Brandon's
word, not mine), neurotic Carrie vibe.
Definitely not a problem.

Todd and Hayley tie their long overdue knot in 8 days. Todd has
yet to get a hold of every guy on his side of the bridal party and is panicked by the
Jewish tradition of not having any rehearsal before the fact. Last Thursday he said,
"I keep thinking about Jeanne laughing and shaking through her whole
vow exchange and Jeremy forgetting his lines. And those were weddings that were
REHEARSED. What kind of comedy we're going to provide with a completely
unrehearsed wedding is anyone's guess."
My advice was to once and for all ditch the videographer. I mean, this is DEFINITELY
not going to be the kind of embarrassment he will want to preserve forever.
