I am the type of person who reads these things.

That Saturday I had worn my "I Survived the Coney Island Cyclone" T-shirt that I had slept in the night before. A constellation of red splotches formed a mini-dipper across the right side of my face. (The effort to pop some pimples had left me worse off.) My hair looked good. I had gone to bed with Khiel's Drawing Paste on my forehead and the residue that got into my hair and made it look thicker.

When I shared the posting with my husband Mark, I pointed out that I am "possibly the hottest guy (this guy had) ever seen."

"I know that already. Why do you think I married you?"
