June 2006
Not a bad game plan, some are wondering today. Consider this as you lounge on the beach this weekend, fish in Pleasant Bay or cruise to Nantucket: With the spring graduation of thousands of college seniors, many graduates and their parents—braced today with the debilitating cost of a college degree that often has extended the traditional four years to seven so students can work off some of the debt—are asking the question: Is there a better way? Once the bloom is off the rose of graduation, the math is numbing for graduates and their parents. I feel the pain. My 22-year-old son, Brendan (a product of Nauset Regional High School) just graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I also have a daughter, Colleen, who is a junior at Elon University, a son, Conor, who will be a senior at Nauset next year, and a home equity line that is wheezing.
In a cyberfunk over poor response to holiday e-mail
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am perplexed. I have sent a bunch of notes to friends to say "Happy Holidays," and I have heard back from hardly anyone. I sent my notes via e-mail to people I know use modern technology. It's weird, because on the one hand I was just reaching out, but then it became wildly apparent that no one was reaching back to me. Now I feel weird for caring so much, but I do think it's odd that so few of my friends cared enough to respond to my e-mail. I didn't ask for much. Just thought I might get a reply. Ben, Seattle Dear Ben: Before you read too much into this experience, consider your friends could be off-line during this time. During the holidays, many people go on vacation and are detached from their PDAs (personal digital assistants). It could be that your friends were not connected to their technology.
Know an outdoorsy online-dating success story?
Seems like about 80 percent of the Coloradans on online dating Web sites claim to love outdoor activities (or so we are told). The Coloradoan is curious about how many of these folks actually turn out to be capable of making it to the top of Longs Peak (in one day) and how many are just looking for a honey with good legs. .
New tattoo and wedding vows for Bif Naked
The bride was rocker Bif Naked, but there was nothing punk about the wedding ceremony celebrated Saturday in Vancouver. Bif Naked, whose real name is Beth Torbert, married Vancouver Sun sportswriter Ian Walker in a 30-minute ceremony at St. Andrews Wesley United Church that featured readings from the Bible and an exchange of vows. Beth Torbert, left, also known as Bif Naked, married Ian Walker in Vancouver on Saturday. (Richard Lam/Canadian Press) However, in a major departure from tradition, the couple sealed their bond with tattoos. Naked has had Walker's signature tattooed on her arm while Walker has a stylized B emblazoned on his hip. Torbert is already heavily tattooed with Buddhist and Hindu poetry, symbols of the Tao and an Egyptian eye of Horus. During the wedding Torbert, who played with punk bands Gorilla Gorilla and Chrome Dog before going solo, wore a cream-coloured minidress with a detachable skirt, a pink veil and a long train.
