So Allie and I are reading this menu of spa goodies at the insanely luxurious resort where we'll be staying for our honeymoon (in the honeymoon suite, no less). And we're hemming and hawing over which package we should choose. And I'm like, "Duh! We've got to do the Love package!"
But Allie isn't too sure. And she mutters comething about chocalate and too much money, I'm not sure exactly.
At any rate, I leap to my feet, incredulous:
"How can we go to Costa Rica, stay in a hoity-toity resort at the foot of a volcano, and not get totally covered in chocolate?!?! It's our honeymoon, for God's sake!!!"

Forget the nerdy reputation that debate has. Instead think of a scenario as exciting as a sports game with high stakes like triumphing over racism. bad politics and abject poverty... An important, thoughtful and provocative look at race and class in America.

Joe Miller's enthusiasm is infectious and the plot creates the suspense of a good courtroom thriller.

The minute I finished Joe Miller's Cross-X, I held the book out in front of me -- amazed, rapturous, and hopeful... Miller's mesmerizing, vivid accounts of the debates will leave you crouched in your seat, holding your breath... An incredibly powerful, daringly hopeful book.

Irresistible... Miller begins breezily but is soon deeply invested in the Central squad's mission to not only master the debate game on its own terms but revolutionize it with flashes of poetry and hip-hop wordplay... If all these kids could run things, Miller implies, imagine what could get done.

I will be very disappointed in both of you if you don't go for the chocolate love package.
So to speak.
"At any rate, I leap to my feat, incredulous:"
That is a feat.
we will only support this if there are photos.
feet will be fine.
however, i don't know if chocolate is good for the skin. : ) which isn't the point, if there's privacy, but if there's some spa matron involved, i dunno. . .
watch out for ants!
LOL!
