Celebrating Old School Style

At the Latke Fest 08 that I recently attended at Josh and Selene's apartment, I came to realize certain truths about parties you attend in your 20's versus parties you attend in your 30's. To wit:

Parties attended in 1998:
- Discussion of who has eating disorders
- Search for over-age friends to buy booze
- Discussion of living with parents
- Leaving early to hit another all night rager
- Complaints about crappy part-time job
- Survey of who's hooking up
- Relaying antics of siblings

Parties attended in 2008:
- Discussion of how easily weight is gained post 30
- Search for good merlot someone recommended
- Discussion of current mortgage interest rates
- Leaving early to attend family function
- Tips on parlaying current job into consulting gig
- Survey of who's getting married
- Relaying antics of offspring


The trick, I believe, is to enjoy your place in life no matter what it is.
