DerMann said:The most romantic thing I've done hitherto is write out a few lines from 'There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding' (wildly romantic song) on nice paper in Spencerian script.

She comes to the door with her hair in rollers and cold cream on her face; he’s unshaven and wearing a ratty undershirt. The fare is frozen pizza and warm beer served on trays in front of a blaring television set. The hosts spend the entire evening pointing out each other’s many deficiencies until he finally falls asleep on the couch and she wanders off to bed alone.

Very well written but my first reaction was: You were on All Things Considered? Wow!
