I don't laugh much these days, not since the beatings. Mostly men beat women in the movies, but it's not always that way. If everything in the movies was real, though, whoo boy, I'd have probably left three women at the altar by now and be training for a marathon or something. My father used to run marathons in the '80s, which you wouldn't believe if you were to see him now. Speaking of now, I should go buy some puff pastry. See you soon, I hope! xoxoxoxoxox Dear Edith –
