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.

She said that on the date, too, didn't she? I like your response.
