Stag and D'oh!
Last night I was hit with a pleasant surprise. My friends Tom and Zok decided to throw me an ad-hoc stag party. Two buildings over, Dara was ambushed by her own stagette, organized by Tom’s wife Ang. I was expecting a quiet evening of Indian food with Tom while Dara and Ang hung out and did whatever it is they do. Instead, Tom and Zok show up at my door with Phantom Planet’s California playing behind them and a California survival manual in tow (the contents of which will remain a secret; suffice it to say, it’s everything I need to survive the perils of the Southwest.)
On Dara’s end, the girls had a Hawaii theme going, which was perfect. Dara and the girls wore their hula wear, while the boys watched me don my California-themed getup (Pictures to follow). With a nice meal, some Corona and a little Merlot in our bellies, we met up with the Dara’s entourage and went out to Milestone’s—a favorite of Dara’s—where there was much merrymaking until the wee hours of the morning.
It was a great evening and a wonderful surprise. To the event organizers, Ang and Tom, I say thank you for a wonderful evening. Don’t bewail the evening’s diminutive size; that’s exactly how we liked it. Also appreciated is the fact that there was no vomit, no golf balls and no gnashing of teeth. A perfect success! Thank you to my friends.

I saw you at Milestones and you looked hot in your spiderman getup.
Hey Myke,
This is totally unrelated to your post, but I thought it would be of interest. I read this article about some wacko teacher @ York University, which (I think) is where you went to school. For what it's worth, the article is written by someone on the right side of the political spectrum (literally and figuratively, for people sensitive to such distinctions), but I thought it interesting nonetheless. Check it out and tell me what you think. It's here...

BTW, I'd consider posting to my blog any spiderman digitals that may be available. Or...maybe not.
Hey Larry,
I read the article and although the language was pretty strong, it was entertaining. I'm familiar with Professor Noble through media channels and, without defending him, I’ll say that he’s far from the only crackpot we’ve got. York has very strong leftist roots, including a very robust membership in its socialist club, but I've seen far worse than Professor Noble. There's a professor at Ryerson University, my lesser Alma matter, who was fired because of his support for pedophiles. This disease of a human actually claims that, after homosexuals, pedophiles will be the next minority to be recognized and accepted by society. He also belongs to an organization called the Society for Man-Boy Love. Disgusting. So, yes, we have our share of whack-job university profs. But so you do guys. Ted Kaczynski comes to mind. The world is a crazy.
No question. We have wack jobs in our universities. In fact, most of the crazy ideas seem to come from them. Very odd. Anyways, I just sent you the article because I read York University and knew you had attended that school.
