I loved the thought that you emailed Mr. Keillor to read your posting, asking me to marry you, at the recent Prairie Home Companion Live in Loveland show that we attended. Sorry, it didn't happen the way you had planned. I loved your Plan B just as well though and am happy to say "YES, I will marry you!" Much love -
