Last Breath of Bachelorhood

T had her bridal shower this past weekend and a number of her out-of-town friends made the trip to San Francisco including some friends from New York who took up residence at my place in Burlingame. So I crashed over at Wagamama Boy's bachelor pad across the bay. Big screen television, Comcast digital cable, comfortable couches, ready supply of beverages... need I say more. After a pleasant dinner on Saturday night with T and a few of her friends (including Kathy from Seattle, who I met for the first time), I made the drive back to the pad where Wagamama and I sat unmoved till three in the morning as we soaked up the multi-channel Olympics coverage. The gold medal match in women's handball between Korea and Denmark was epic. Never thought I would be so into handball, a strange amalgam of soccer, basketball, and roller derby. Game went past double overtime and ended on an exchange of penalty throws. Definite nailbiter. {remote control} Taekwondo. Steven Lopez wins gold. {remote control} Track and field relays. U.S. men's 4x400 dominates the field. {remote control} Volleyball... at the rate we were going, we could have easily gone till daybreak. Good times. Much thanks to Jeannie for planning the shower and for allowing me one last weekend to squander time as a pretend bachelor.
