earlier, during my UCLA class, alexandra and i were talking to steph k. about how she could meet the korean guy friends of one of our co-workers. steph, who is cantonese, had this to say, "no, our flags have to match."

here's dennis in top form - best man at a wedding in july with one of the cutie bridesmaids.
in the last couple of days, different dennis stories have been popping up in conversation and the one that sticks with me and captures one aspect of dennis's personality is this:
a couple of years ago, i got off of work and drove over to chris and dave's to hang out, eat, etc. when i buzzed the apt and walked up to the door, it was slightly ajar (i think). i pushed the door open to find a dimly lit room with candles and cheesy "slow-jam lam" music. chris and david were nowhere in sight. instead, there stood dennis. i walked in and yelled for chris and david to come out of whatever place they were hiding. all three of them started cracking up. i have to admit, it was a funny and unforeseen greeting. slightly mischevious and good-natured - just portions of the amazing whole person. he was also the best "what if..." game player - who weighed every decision quite seriously.
it is a such a huge testament to who dennis was when there are so many great stories and memories that friends have to share. he really did add so much to each of our lives - his friendship made it more interesting.
