Maybe it's my old age, or maybe I'm just going through some kind of phase or something. Today I went to a wedding and for the first time in my life, I felt self-concious about not bringing a date. Don't know why. This has never bothered me before. I normally enjoy the freedom of being able to roam around and talk to people without having to worry about somebody else. Heck, I didn't even feel weird about not taking a date to my own senior prom. Crazy. But when the first slow dance came and the only people sitting were a half dozen elementary school kids, four widows, and me...well, I felt like a loser. Don't worry, I'll get over it.
