Oh, Merlin, it’s probably best not to second guess the whole tragedy of our book failure. I’m sure there were a number of variables that could have helped tip the scale. But in any event, the whole experience made our relationship stronger, didn’t it? »

Good for PhilippSubmitted by briansawyer on January 23, 2008 - 3:32pm.
