Here's proof that I'm not merely a "friend and pal" of Cinderella, but I'm a friend and pal of her friends, too.  (Tip: having annual passes for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World really helps.)  The text reads, "With greetings and best wishes to our friend and pal, Craig.  —Cinderella and friends."  It's been theorized that friends of friends invite one to "harness the power of loose ties," and sadly that doesn't mean neckties that aren't knotted too tightly but rather casual acquaintanceships.  If you'd like me to put in a good word for you to either Cinderella or any of her friends, as a token of your seriousness just put a penny in my tip jar: paypal.me/profoddfellow.
