Dear Tax-chick,

Thanks.

Although he despaired of the mission when he first went off to college, my older son has always been very marriage-minded. He just figured, there would be no nice, chaste, friendly Catholic girls interested in marriage.

He was wrong.

They lined up.

Some of them were willing to change their religion.

Marriage-minded men can be quite popular in some circles. Especially when they're witty, tall, handsome, and moderately kind.

His younger brother is likewise interested, but went to college a year early, and although there are any number of young ladies who flirt with him mercilessly, I think it will be next year before the fedora-wearing, trench-coated college radio station jazz DJ comes into his own, shedding mathematical cool wherever he goes, garnering extra accolades for being the younger brother of his older brother.

I wonder if the problem is that my children think marriage means ten kids and a lot of rice and beans. Anoreth and Bill have high-end taste in cars. They both want to work in automotive marketing.

Tom wears a fedora. Bill was offered a modeling job at a cool store, I forget which one. The pay wasn’t enough to make it worth the gas money.
