Lolita Amy got married this Saturday, and I went to the reception after I got off work. It was held at the groom's parent's house, a rude shack that must have set them back about a million bucks. Mr Groom's Dad is a corporate lawyer in downtown LA, Harvard law grad so I hear. The house sits on a hillside with a 270 degree view of Orange County down below... it was clear and you could see Catalina Island off to the west. The drive was lined with candles. There was a string trio playing Bach as you entered the foyer. The place was beautiful. Professional caterers. A lot of food. There were several hundred people attending the reception. The receiving line was about 25 people long. I at least knew all of Lolita Amy's family, a few of the groom's. Amy expressed surprise that I was capable of dressing up, figured I would show up either wearing shorts or my Postal uniform. Yes, she is always a barrel of laughs.... One of the bridesmaids works for AlGore, er, VP Al Gore. She got the job after a stint as a White House Intern. Much prettier than You-Know-Who, but no more intelligent. About on par with Melinda, I'd say. She does have a fine collection of cigar jokes, however. Somehow this family has invented a reputation for me. I kept getting introduced as "oh, and here is the mailman I've told you about!" Sheesh. I kept protesting that I suspected most of them had mail carriers, and that meeting another one wasn't going to qualify as a Big Thrill. It did no good. I would prefer to be a corporate lawyer. And live on a hill commanding a 270 degree view. Just think of the fun you could have from up there with a Spud Cannon.
