The Envy channel again... Exercise for this evening. You must do the following:

1. Watch my college chum Mike promote his book and show on Letterman.
2. Evaluate whose career will be helped more by the appearance: Mike's, or Dave's.
3. Estimate just how drunk I'll want to get after I watch it.

Three and a half might be (especially for those of you coming from The Suburban Limbo--hello, new readers!): figure out what the hell I'm talking about. Well, Mike and I went to college together, he's the most talented and charismatic person I know, and I'm insanely jealous of him because he has the life I wanted to have. That about sums it up. Right about now is when he should take out a restraining order on me, for both of our sakes.

I should point out, despite the envy, I'm also deliriously happy and excited for Mike. But don't worry... that'll pass.
