1. She has cool links on her blog's sidebar.
2. Even though she pretends she doesn't like my music, she knows off the top of her head that "First in Flight" by Blackalicious is a good example of African signifying and she volunteered to do a presentation in her Spanish class on hip-hop music and the signifying monkey.
3. She saves me many trips to the dictionary by knowing the spelling and definition of every word in the English language. And 86.2% of the words in the Spanish language.
4. She used to kick cerebral ass in College Bowl alongside Ken Jennings, before BYU cut the funding (presumably in favor of their oh-so-much-more successful football team), and now she's got S-Boogie asking to watch "Jeppy" every night before bedtime (even on the nights Jeopardy isn't on).
5. She likes my friends (and the feeling appears to be mutual).
6. Her parents are the coolest pseudo-hippie biker intellectual Mormons I know.
7. She has been 100% supportive of me publishing "Getting Out" and "Staying In," where a lot of wives might not have been so comfortable with the idea. (Someday she'll revise and publish her version of "Staying In.")
8. Her eggs, when fertilized and incubated properly, grow into beautiful and intelligent children (at least so far).
9. She talks to God and listens when he talks to her.

Number Eight made me snort. (I'm in the library. There are a lot of people listening.)
I really like Foxy J too, although I would want to mention that South African rice stuff she fed me once, and her deep apprectiation of dirty jokes.
Please tell Foxy J that when she is ready to write her version of "Getting Out" and "Staying In" I would be exceedingly interested in having her submit them to Dialogue. I have had a number of requests from person who would like to hear from her.

Foxy--do you hear that?
It's been a while since I read her essay, but I remember liking it. If you two would like me to look at a later draft, I would be honored.
Fobman--you need to talk to your word verifier--I find "jwsbglrs" to be downright antisemitic.
