wonderful entry partner!

Best opening phrase EVER! Set a humorous tone that you shifted away from, but was totally appropriate in light of the happy ending.

I second this comment.

Thirded.

Thank you kindly, good sir. Balancing the weight of the entry was one of a few challenges this time around.
