My wife and I went to a party last night. I was busy doing work all day and had not thought about the event until it was time to go. When I thought about it, I realized that we did not have too many parties to go to this year. In fact, we have about 80% less parties to go to. It is as if a neutron bomb went off and all the people disappeared. Last week I was at a party organized by my wife's Women in Media Club. Many of the CNN Asia, CNBC Asia, and Star TV women folks were there, along with script writers, producers, directors. The women to men ratio was about 3:1. There were some real exotic types ... German Chinese, Napalese, Indian Portuguese, etc etc. Noticed that the biggest conversation killer was the sentence "meet my wife". There was no talk of the market or dotanything at the party, as if the revolution never happened. Last night's party was also unusual. My wife commented that my partner's party was not her favorites as there are too many people who flirt there. As I had not thought about the party for the whole day until arrival time, I started to look forward to the break. Alas, the conversation between the CEO of a large system integration house and I went something like this "who is that lady in white?" "oh, that's David's wife" "and how about the one in red?" "that's my new wife". By the time we were properly sauced, we finally figured out that there were no single girls there at all, unlike my partner's parties of ten years ago when he and I were both single and he first met his current wife who worked in the hotel trade. Still refusing to talk dotcom and slashnet, we proceeded to flirt with the women folks. I guess they were nostalgic for a time past as well. I guess no one talked dotslashnetcom because there was very little to say about it.
