I looked in my Match box the following afternoon. And there amongst the hundreds of other letters was David’s response.

Truth be told, “what a smart girl you are” was a bit of a misinterpretation.  But I can see how you might think that.Let’s see, those are pretty complicated new questions.  I might need to consult my advisers; heck even the Bible.  But let me take a stab at them without the benefit of Divine guidance and see how it goes…

Actually, I think my intent with “paired down” was that I double the fluffiness of their down.  I shall make a clarification correction forthwith!  I thank you for your attention to the marginally significant things as they tend to escape my attention far too often.  I fear, however, I shall never approach the high bar of your so clearly written, immaculately spell and grammar checked profile.  Such is my Achilles Heal… er.. Hiel? 

Ah, Heel.

On the question of the afterlife: An agnostic probably does believe in an ever-after, he just doesn’t know which one.  An atheist may or may not depending on if he believes the universe is stable, will forever expand or will eventually contract.  In all cases, it’s a matter of faith.  Then again, any moment is technically ever after some other moment.  So it’s probably universally accepted so long as the arrow of time does not change its properties.But I should probably consult “Conversations with God, Book 1″ and see if the He has an opinion on the matter.  We have to make sure we always consult books written and published by man for the authoritative answers on the great questions of life the universe and everything.  I mean with out Donald Walsch, how would we know that there is no good, no evil, no right nor even wrong?  That even Hitler went to heaven; God Bless his tender soul.  But its okay, for his series of books clearly shows us that we are all gods, part of God and all collectively God anyway.  So, in my Walsch-given capacity as the All Mighty, I just have to say that the new spelling of “pared” is now “paired” and, lo, all is right with the world.  And I am pleased.  No flood to wipe out all the unborn children….. this time! The shoe thing is obvious:  You don’t get the shoes.  And, it’s not the price that was the issue.  It was because although you did, in fact, add sugar and spice on top, you forgot the cherry.  Quite unfortunate, but rules are rules.

  You must excuse me now, I have to attend to matters of state.  I mean steak.

ps. I cannot recall the fate of the lion.  Ultimately, it was the least of my adventures anyway.
