This is Dave.  I’ve wrote about him before here and here and here.

Dave is getting married on Saturday and I have the honor of standing with Dave on this special day as he finally gives up a life of bachelorhood for a life with Cherie.  Dave is a good friend and I’m really thankful for his presence in my life since 1995.

On this special weekend, please congratulate Dave and Cherie with me!

p.s. I took this pic 5 minutes to go in Dave’s new home in Hotlanta

It appears that my friend of many years, Dave Huey is finally tying the knot and getting married on November 7th, 2009.  Dave and I met in college somewhere around 1995, and bettered our friendship a few years later when we both lived in Hotlanta.  In honor of Dave’s upcoming marriage, I’m going to share a story a month about Dave.  They will all be funny and they will all make me look as bad as Dave I’m guessing.

One of my favorite memories of Dave was when I was starving in 1998.  Not for attention.  Not for relationship.  Literally starving.  I worked in sales for a few months in Atlanta, and one thing is for sure – I’m not a good salesman when I don’t believe in something.  So I was making ends meet – kind of – and eating ramen noodles and barbeque sauce most of the time.  Then one day Dave and I went to Chick Fil-A.  At the time, this was a big deal for me, because money was scarce.

Chick Fil-A was running this special deal where when you bought a meal, they would give you a card that had their nutritional facts on them with multiple choice guessing.  If you guessed the right answer, then you received a free food item.  The funny part was the answers were all on their nutriotional board next to the order counter, so a smart person would always get the free food.

So as we stood in line and Dave ordered.  Flirting with the cashier, Dave jokingly (but very sincerely) asked if he could have a stack of cards instead of just one.  Not wanting to be “uncool” or flirting back, for whatever reason, the cashier said, “sure, but don’t my manager see you.”  Dave lovingly responded, “Oh, I would never do that,” and we all laughed, like this was so funny.  It wasn’t all that funny, but it was great!  Because…

we ate good for the next 3 weeks!
