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.

Hey, congrats.

Thank you.

(Do report back on the Swift, in due order -- I haven't read that one. Not that I've read many of the Tom Jr.s.)

They were what we had in the house when I was growing up; I haven't read any of them in years. I remember loving Tom Swift and His Subocean Geotron (1966) especially, although I can remember very little of the plot now except for Easter Island, which I'm sure made more sense when I was twelve. The Caves of Nuclear Fire (1956) had one of the best titles.
