Reunion

Sorry about the extended absence. I was in Las Vegas for work last week, and couldn't post. Surprisingly, I don't have any good stories from Sin City. Maybe if something comes to mind, I'll post about it.

Heather's 10-year reunion was this weekend, and one exchange stood out.

When we first arrived, a guy who now teaches ballroom dancing and is married to a sommelier told Heather that he had really wanted to ask her to senior prom.

He was going to kidnap her from her house, rush her into a waiting car, and drive away. He had friends arranged along his route that would act like they were trying to stop him, and he would shoot them with the fake gun he'd brought along. He had a tape prepared on which a large-voiced man (he worked for a radio station at the time) explained the mission. The car chase would end in a shootout on the roof of a building. Somewhere in there, he'd pop the question. It was to be a special agent extravaganza.

Someone else asked Heather the day before the plan was to be executed, and it never came to be. Fortunately for me, I think. Consider the following factors:

1. Excellent dancing skills.
2. An uncanny foreknowledge of Heather's eventual Alias fixation.
3. Creativity.

I'm lucky nothing ever started there. I would've had a hard time competing.

I'll be putting some reunion photos up on flickr in the next couple of days, for anyone who's curious.
