Best Wishes Rick Adams and Amanda Bordwell
Rick: I’m not going to congratulate you on your wedding because saying “Congratulations!” implies that nobody thought you were wedding material. Nay, I know better than all those doubting Thomaseses out there. So, instead I’m going to say “Best Wishes!” And now that you are privy, the next time someone says “Congratulations!” you look them squarely in the eye, lean in close and say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” (DISCLAIMER: If they take offense to your response, just tell them that you “didn’t understand the question”–that usually works.)

Thanks for the wishes Andre. And I especially appreciate that they are the best wishes, and not simply good or better ones.

Rick, you only deserve “the best.”
