Sometimes when I clean up my Yahoo! e-mail, I find stuff that is too priceless to actually trash. I'd like to preserve the following e-mail exchange here on my blog. It's kind of an homage to my relationship with Tom.

OK, so Hope and I were just discussing weddings. And I was thinking, if we ever get married, can we rent out McDonald's and have Mayor McCheese officiate?
Love,
Mary

Sometimes "no" just isn't a strong enough word. Besides, I don't think Mayor McCheese actually has any legal authority, even in Playland.

It would be nice if you could be more supportive of the things that are important to me. It would help me feel that this partnership is a two-way street.

Fine, but Grimace will be my best man.

And Birdie shall be my maid of honor.

Grimace Crowe?

Grimace Crowe is a reference to our attempt to name Jen and Don's unborn baby.
