Hen Night

A "Hen Night" is the British equivalent of a bachelorette party in the U.S. My new friend, Katie, is getting married in a few weeks so a couple of the ladies associated with the Astronomy department, Regina and Shayna, and I decided to throw her a Hen Night. Unfortunately, we can't really "hang" with the traditional Hen Night being too old and too sensible for such things, if you know what I mean. So, instead we dressed up silly-like and headed to a club where we were the oldest patrons by at least ten years! We had a great time dancing to such modern hits as "Push It" by Salt 'n Pepa (England hasn't really moved past the 80's music-wise) and worrying about the impending bouts of pneumonia sure to be experienced by the scantily-clad teenagers, who are inadvertently wearing the same clothes worn by the teenagers who first danced to the 80's music. We may be old, but we can still dance!
