Do you know...

how there can be those fleeting moments in even the most egalitarian of relationships in which you are absolutely certain that you hold 100% of the power?

This was one of them, courtesy of my email this evening:

"Bryan Schnittjer said you two are in a relationship...

Bryan said you are in a relationship on Facebook. We need you to confirm that you are, in fact, in a relationship with Bryan. To confirm this relationship request, follow the link.

Thanks,
The Facebook Team."

Looks like the jig is up.
