First of all, i think all of your ...Dear Maureen, <br /><br />First of all, i think all of your books are full of WIN.<br /><br />Second, I just read the "ask mj: love and pants" entry on your blog, and i would like to bow before you out of gratitude. I had NO IDEA about the 'bushel and peck' courting ritual that exists in philadelphia (This is probably due to the fact that i live in the social moorland known locally as a 'suburb') My ignorance of this tradition is most likely the cause of my romantic distress. Being informed of this vital step in the mating world of philly has helped me IMMENSELY!! <br /><br />Cheers! -VickiVicki917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-89032721658844965592009-04-07T18:09:00.000+04:302009-04-07T18:09:00.000+04:30Bloody brilliant.

Not tv, don't worry. If something, it must have been baking.
