It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience when the first of your friends get married. I've been to a handful of weddings before, but just ones of distant relatives. I was not at all prepared for what to expect this past weekend when my friends EJ and Kati exchanged vows (given celebrity coupling ...

What did I do this weekend? Well, I did quite a bit. I went to a Passover Seder in Kansas, for example. I spent about an hour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I couldn't find any cheese. And I scored an interview with Paul Mecurio. Paul's a standup comic after my own heart: he's from Rhode ...

How was your weekend?
It was all right. I drank a lot, it seemed.
Did you attempt to negate this by going to the gym at any point?
Negative.
Did you watch the Yankees-Red Sox game on Friday night?
Yes, unfortunately.
Did some of that heavy beer-drinking occur after the Red Sox blew a 5-run lead ...

By pure coincidence, in my apartment, at 8:30pm on Saturday, I was doing all three of the following:

This extended holiday weekend called for some drinking. And I did a little too much of it this weekend. Or much too much of it. So much, in fact, that it led me to do stupid things like this - on command - in the Times Square subway station:

I woke up Sunday morning with an awful hangover. It was one of the worst hangovers I've had in a long time. I ended up trying to sleep it off through most of the afternoon, too, to no avail.
So, what caused this hangover? I was stumped. I didn't drink any ...

Saturday night, I did my fair share of drinking. Our group ran up a $497 tab at just our first bar of the night. But the most embarassing moment of the night came before I was halfway through my second beer.
Because I had been craning my neck for the entire ...

It seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time. One of the biggest drunkfests of the year for the Irish and wannabe-Irish alike is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Hoboken. I'm Irish. I like booze. I was free Saturday. I was willing to put aside the fact that people in New Jersey clearly ...

And now, another remnant of my weekend at the alma mater: a clown juggling fire in the snow, complete with play-by-play.
