Alexander and
I see a screening of Savages; a fun
summer movie directed by Oliver Stone. A
few minutes after arriving home the phone rings. It’s my sister Valerie. She has big news.
Her son --- my
nephew, Alexander’s cousin --- just got engaged to Amanda, his girlfriend of a
couple of years. Everyone is excited and thrilled.
Jason is
pretty near perfect. He’s smart. Good-looking. Athletic. An accomplished pianist. Speaks fluent Spanish. Is successful (having just been promoted at his Wall Street job). And, is one of the kindest, nicest people
I know. (All of this could also
be said of his two brothers, except they are not musical and don’t speak
Spanish). No one can meet Jason and not like him.
Amanda shares
many of Jason’s traits. When I met her
about a year ago, I liked her immediately, as did everyone else. We are
all so happy.
