Most young ladies have dreams of meeting the perfect man and sailing off into the sunset to live happily ever-after. A perfect day if you will.
Pricilla Chan had the perfect day. Pricilla is the young lady who is engaged to Mark Zuckerberg, the inventor of Facebook. They attended Harvard together and have been “dating” for 9 years. On Friday, Facebook issued stock to the public making Mark Zuckerberg very rich (20 billion dollars). I’m sure Pricilla had ownership of some stock and probably became independently rich in her own right. Then on Saturday, there was a celebration of Pricilla’s graduation from Medical School where she got a degree to be a Pediatrian. So over two days, Pricilla got rich and received a doctor’s degree. What else is there? Getting married of course. Pricilla and Zuckerberg were married on Saturday. Her Prince Charming happened to be a billionaire. How does it get any better?
Just a note. I think there was financial tax trickery taking place. If Pricilla and Zuckerberg had married before the public stock offering, Pricilla would have been entitled to half his 20 billion dollars as part of the community property law. I have a feeling Pricilla really doesn’t care!
Continuing on the theme of “perfect day”, we got to spend the weekend with Grasshopper No.5. She treated us to good food and a performance of The Addams Family. My favorite is actress Morticia. Your Mom never wore outfits like that around the house. So a thank you to No.5 for letting us into her life for just a little while.
Your Mom and I threatened to stay an extra day in Minneapolis to spend additional time with No.5. She turned pale white and I think broke out in the hives. We decided to come home instead. No.5 could breath again.
Memorial Day approaching. It signifies the start of summer.
Love,
Dad
