Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Mom says

she's gonna have to be honest..............maybe something like "I'm not going to be able to give you the response you want.........." And, she should be sure not to get into a situation where she has to tell this other person specifically why she can't give the desired response. She can say something along the lines of "It's my judgement ...........

and to preface with

I could be wrong but

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

I'll be up! I should be in bed already in preparation, but alas, I can't seem to sleep.

Thank your mom for me. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been struggling with how to frame away from the details.

I'll definitely lead with "I could be wrong." (nudge, nudge)

How does this sound?

My regard for you demands that I be honest with you.

I am not going to be able to give you the response that you want in this situation. It is my judgment that any statement I might make will not positively support your case.

As I said in my previous message, I wish you the best possible outcome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"I'm looking forward to your positive response."

"Keep looking."

Oh, and FWIW, Jessica I am on a losing streak in putting Matilda down in her crib. She'll got to sleep on me but I can't transfer her to the crib without waking her up. And I put her down the same way JZ does, and I have years of experience putting Emmett down. She just pops up as soon as she's off my body. I suspect possibly it might be because I generate a lot of body heat compared to JZ so it might be like ripping the covers off and waking her with cold. Or possibly I suck.

Very cool. But my first thought was, aren't those rides called "Vomit Comets"? How embarrassing would it be "Honey, would you marry me?" "Sqquueeee....BLARGH... um... I mean, YES! (please pass a tissue)"

So, who is waking up at 3am to watch the first baseball game of the season? Anyone???
If only tomorrow wasn't such a busy day. I might just have done it.

I'm not, but I totally would if it were the Mariners.

date update from Friday. She sent an email. With the following

If you are in the area in Pasadena, don't hesitate to give me a call
My response includes
Do I have to wait until I'm in Pasadena to call? I was hoping you could be my excuse for heading north.
