Man, I am a pathetic old married man. A buddy of mine got engaged this weekend and the first thing I thought was, "Great! Now I have a legitimate excuse for my wife to let me go to Vegas for his bachelor party!" I don't know if I was happier for him getting engaged or for me getting to go to Vegas.
Best wishes to Jordan Jalbert, the buddy who got engaged to the lovely Jillian on Saturday. This is especially nice because Canonico and I introduced them to one another a couple of years ago at one of our parties and then after a few false starts they finally hooked up for good at my wedding in September. It's been birds chirping and hand-holding ever since and Mrs Johnnymac feels particularly smug because she feels she had something to do with it.
Jordan, as a matter of fact, has also become something of a decent poker player. He used to be a little intimidated but he kept reading the blog and finally got his feet wet about a year ago. Now he goes to Louisiana about once a month and plays more often than I do.
Congratulations to both of them - they both read IAG, so I know they'll see this.
