I am lucky, Mila. There's little more important than being lucky in love.

Better.... MUCH better!!!

Not that you're in any way prone to prejudice on the topic!

{But take my advice, in such matters sticking to the present tense is
always
the best choice. At worst, it ups your chances of "getting lucky". For
some
reason this calls to mind that recently a [very lovely] friend's husband
made the mistake of reacting to her new red haircolor by saying "I
married a
blonde!". Without missing a beat, she replied "And I married a 23
year-old
with a 29 inch waist... kinda explains that "better or worse" thing, I
guess".)

One can only assume, Eileen, that you're a world-class beauty!

Tee hee. The way I used to get a cab to Brooklyn as a teenager was to
