My sister-in-law's wedding

Last Saturday, my younger sister-in-law got married. My wife has 2 sisters and both of them are now married. So unless there is a re-marriage, which requires the presumption of a divorce, it's all set and done for my beloved mother-in-law.

Yesterday, this V guy at my office asked me about my weekend when we met at the coffee machine. I told him I went to my sister-in-law's wedding. He kind of thought for a monent. I told him that my wife's sister got married. He looked enlightened and said he was wondering, "Isn't your sister-in-law married to your brother?"

Not a bad English joke, V.

Charitable Act by Richard Gere

My friend E.W. is taking part in this year's Trailwalker. Yes, the charitable hiking marathon. The thing starts tomorrow and I hope she'd be able to complete the whole path.

I was her first sponsor. You know, the sponsor form has two columns, one for the basic sponsoring money and another for completion bonus. Before I wrote down my amount, I asked for her expectation of completion. In the end, well, I forgot what she told me, I put $280 in the first column and $100 for the bonus. As I filled the form, I put down Richard Gere (I was just about to put down my Richard Le). Well, I didn't need the receipt for tax purpose, so as the first name in the page, who didn't I just surprise every doner down the page.
