Milestone

Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the day Darlene and I met. If you believe in fate, you'll love this story.

We met at a party. Darlene was invited by the hostess, but couldn't find a babysitter and decided at the last minute to bring Lee-Anne along and put her to sleep in a bedroom at the house. The hostess intended to set Darlene up with a guy boarding at their house (someone I worked with). He was (as Darlene describes) an Aqua Velva reeking, gold chain wearing, shirt unbuttoned to the belly button slob. I wasn't much in the mood to go to this party either, but went at the last minute. Hours went by before I even paid much attention to Darlene, prompting the best ice breaker line I've ever gotten from another woman in my life - "Are you gay?"

The picture is from 1988.

She probably said that because you were so good looking. In other words, too good to be true.
