Overheard at a party the other night:

…so I bought a new camera at the duty-free in Abu Dhabi…

I thought, “There’s a sentence I’m unlikely to ever be able to utter except in irony.”

I heard another equally-unlikely sentence at that party, which I planned to report in this space. I thought the pair would bookend the story of my plain-vanilla existence. But I forgot the other sentence due to yet a third sentence, which I myself said and then repeated numerous times throughout the evening. It was this: “Pass the wine!”

In completely related news — related not to wine, but to unlikeliness — my wife jumped out of an airplane yesterday. Yes, on purpose.

I’m not sure she’s really landed yet. I imagine we’ll have a brightly-colored nylon suit hanging in the closet within a matter of weeks.
