I kept thinking it would be a sad story with a moral and instead it was wonderfully heart warming. Thanks!

Long ago, my cousin lost a jell-o recipe that she loved; she asked everyone for it, but no one had it. Turned out the man she eventually married had it in his files. I was reminded of that while I was reading.

Sorry, that's the last time I'll do that. Really, I did enjoy that.

Zeldman's just a big soft teddy bear, isn't he. Apparently, so am I. I nearly cried when I read that.

Am I really the only one here who just rolled his eyes and thought "what sentimental tripe?"

Looks like. Have you no sentimentality at all, rodii?

Sure. And I like Jeffrey and admire his Glamorous Life stories and like hearing about Joan, who I assume this was a veiled love letter to. But it was so unmemorable, I can't figure out why anyone had a reaction more complicated than "who cares?"
