I was only suggesting fifty years of me

derspatchel and I are engaged.

I gave him a copy of The Lady's Not for Burning. He gave me Tom Swift and His Repelatron Skyway. I brought the rings: a design of two cats, side by side. At the Friendly Toast, we signed our names to the question on the frontispiece of one book and the finale of the other.

(We are still making wedding plans. It is with great self-restraint that I have not titled this post THIS WILL ALL BE GONE INTO AT THE PROPER TIME.)

We are very, very happy.

Congratulations as well as felicitations (and good luck with the wedding plans).

Thank you! (Right now we are spending more time thinking about the screwball film festival than the legal ceremony itself, which tells you where our mutual priorities lie. It is one of the reasons we love each other.)

(It is good to agree on such things, yes, and better if family opinions need not be taken much into account.)
