The Mother broke her silence to email me this morning. She wrote briefly and grammatically-correctly, entreating me to send e-mail congratulations to my cousin (elder by two months) on his marriage recently celebrated by in The Motherland.
Sure… ugh…
Later in the day, I checked my mail and received an email from another cousin (elder by two years). Why would he write his fellow cousins out of the blue except to tell us he and his girlfriend just eloped! They have been together for a few years and have been friends for over ten years. In fact, I knew them back during my stint in Metropolis, back when his girlfriend wife was dating this other guy I had a mini-crush on!
So, here I go, sending my sincere congratulations and gift card(s) with money I don’t have!
I told The Boy that it’s tremendously easy for us to legally get married if we wanted to make our year 2008. He’s thinking more the auspicious year when the Olympics come to town…
