Subject: I guess
you're right. About waiting to see what happens with Mrs. Friedlander. That would be
pretty cold, to go around announcing our engagement, when she's still in a coma.
God, I don't even know what I'm talking about. There's no ring in that bag. I'm sure it's
socks. It has to be socks. Right?

Well, it's all over. He's proposing. This weekend, it looks like, in the romantic ski cabin
he's borrowing for the occasion. I'm not saying I disapprove. I mean, I like the guy. I really
do. It's just that...I don't know. I can't shake this bad feeling I have about all this.
What's wrong with me?

Subject: What's wrong with you
Nothing's wrong with you. You just want your friend to be happy. And I don't blame you.
I want Mel to be happy, too. She deserves to be happy, and not just because Freddie Prinze
is going out with Sarah Michelle Gellar, or whatever else it is she writes about.
But in order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true those
risks can put them in danger of being hurt. I think that's what's freaking you out about
Mel. She just met this guy. He's got an iffy rep in the hood. Hooking up with him is a
major risk. But I think to her, it's worth it. So you just have to stand back and let her
make her own decisions and stop being such a freaking psycho about it. I mean, who do you
think is good enough for her, anyway? Me? Well, I happen to be taken.
And you know what happened when we tried fixing Mel up with my brother Sal....
Hey, if the two of them do work it out and decide to get hitched, we could have a double
wedding. What do you think about that? Just kidding.
