April 11, 2013 by WendyB

When my dear friend Phil got married in 2002, he asked me to be his best man. Here I am giving my toast. I was soooo nervous. I was nervous about the speech, that is, not the rather short dress I was wearing. Apparently, I was confident that no hemline was too high for a…

June 12, 2012 by WendyB
