So I have JUST been abandoned by a girl I have a LOT of time and $ invested in, whats all this have to do with my lovely wife? read on.......

Again, listen to mom, mine could NEVER get HER name right: "So hows Summer? " Autumn mom her name is Autumn" "right so how is Spring"......

Anyway, after THAT I decided I'd kind of go it alone for a while and just focus on ME and my dog, well and my career, and my computers and my....ok I was busy! About 3 months later I was in a Dr's office bent over a desk and I hear Chiquita Rivra behind me say "I was tol to ask if jew are married" Well having a GREAT affinity for hispanic women (not having ever DATED one helps that fantasy stay alive). I WHIPPED around and pulled out a business card and said "No I'm not, but I am free for lunch on Friday"

Well the poor secretary OBVIOUSLY was overwhelmed by my charm, or maybe my cologne, because she looked like a deer caught in headlights and quickly explained that it was not for herself that she was asking, but someone else. When I explained that I was STILL available for lunch on Friday, she took my card and said she would have the girl call me. On the way out we passed by the desk, and to THIS DAY, I can STILL tell you EXACTLY how Michele was standing and what she was doing. Two days later Michele called me and left a voicemail at my office, and it took me until about THIRTY SECONDS before the cosed to screw up the courage to call her back. We made lunch plans for that Friday (lunch being a 'safe' 1st date).

Again, I can remember what she wore and how she looked as soon as she walked in the door. You kow how there are THREE subjects that you ALWAYS avoid on a 1st date? Sex Religion and Money, yep we covered them all. As well as HUNDREDS of other relationship taboos. but by the FOLLOWING Saturday when we were on our 3rd date we really DID know that this was the real thing. I'm not the tallest person in the world, and my lovely wife is a good 6 inches shorter than I am, when I introduced her to my best friend, Cindy looked over and said "Aww they make them in your SIZE"
