1992

Stargazing, 1992 style....So I'm in the grocery store recently, waiting in line, wondering why I don't just go to the express selfcheckout counter, when I reach for an Us Weekly (the real reason I don't go to the express selfcheckout counter). And in it I read that Amanda Peet is pregnant with her fiance...author of The25th Hour, David Benioff (known to you and me as David Friedman)! Holy smokes,lhad no idea I was mere degrees separated from beauty and grace. Well done, lad!

It gets worse. So I have had a crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt for, like, forever (see, I'm even writing like a little schoolgirl). Never got into Parly of Five but I was smitten after Can't Hardly Wait (in which a Dartmouth guy wins her heart at the end, I might remind you. Coincidence? I think not). And yeah, maybe it's a sign that I have matured because I don't watch her TV show GhostWhisperer (please, JLH, it is not a slight.. .I still love you, and I would think you'd be happy to know I'm not some crazed lunatic fan). But how about the fact that her co-star is Aisha Tyler! Aisha, you have the most amazing resume I know of—TalkSoup, Friends, 24, CSI now this—and it's only getting better. As I write this she is scheduled to be a fill-in for Roger Ebert, that iconic film critic whose show Ebert & Roeper (formerly Siskel &Ebert) we have watched all our lives at random hours on random channels (stop.. .you knowyou did, and still do).

Perhaps Aisha would like to bring Jennifer (Jenny? Jen?) to our—shameless plug here—15 th class reunion! Yup, remember, June 15-17 in Hanover! Bring your spouse! Bring the kids! Bring a friend, Aisha! If you want to help organize this affair, contact Elissa McMillen Aten at elissa. m.aten.92@alum.dartmouth.org. She's going to need it; last I heard, she was on the verge of motherhood! I hope to have an update for you in the next set of notes—on Elissa and the reunion.

Remember how Rob Birge got a promotion in my last set of Notes? Yeah, apparently that was not good enough. A few weeks after I sent my stuff off I got an article about his hiring at IMG Sports & Entertainment—I'm guessing you may have heard of them—as their chief marketing officer. That is awesome, Rob. Now stay put for a little while so I don't put you in these Notes again, publicity hound!

Another '92 has made her way to Philadelphia—Melissa Ridgley Biondi and husband Nick (brother of Paul Biondi) moved here a little more than a year ago and live in Willistown with their children Robert (almost 3) and Michela (born in January). "Most of my time is taken up by playing mom," said Melissa, "but I continue to work for NBC Universal part-time from home to keep my head in the game, so to speak."
