I’d like to wish a warm and happy 40th birthday to Lauren Graham, the First Lady of Television (and of my heart).

Lauren, if you read this, I’m ready for the rest of our lives. I’ll make you laugh. I’ll cook you tasty dinners and we can talk really fast about obscure pop-culture references. And I’m sorry for what I said about Because I Said So, but it proves I’m not afraid to be open and honest in our relationship. I think we should give it a shot. Please?

Just think about it.

I’ll be.
