Hi Matt, I hope this note finds you well. As you may know, Anna – the lovely woman who does both our laundering – suggested we might be a good match. I – an adventurous and fun-loving girl – was of course open to the idea. Anna has since back- peddled suggesting she might not be comfortable inserting herself into what should be natural progression …

I’d like to thank you all for your interest in the progress of my laundry love Matt. It’s been a roller-coaster of emotions since Anna first proposed the idea.

You my friend.”) As a small-ish town girl living in big city I tend to treat my local shopkeepers like 1950’s soda shop owners. There’s Deeb the falafel stand …

Hi Men, I wanted to take a moment to remind you about the finer points of marrying a fellow Boston College alumnus in light of this weekend’s festivities. As I’m sure you know ending up with someone who possesses like interests is one of the keys to a successful, lasting relationship. These most often include similar family background, personal morals, level of education, and life …
