Anniversary

Today is a special day for me. It's the anniversary of the date I met Mrs. Right. (Hmm...you know the odd thing about this? Mrs. Right has never remembered this anniversary.)

Of course she was just Ms. Right back then.

And met isn't the exact word. We were set up by a mutual acquaintance. I thought it was a good idea, but she was doubtful. You see, this "friend" told her just a little too much about me.

So...she said I had to call her. Later I found out I was being interviewed by telephone. We spoke for almost 2 hours. I don't think I'd spoken that much to any one woman over the course of our relationship.

Apparently I passed the interview, because she accepted a date with me for 2 days later.

We were married 5 months later.

And we've been together for 35 years.

Life has been good.

(For no particular reason, other than this song seems appropriate, here's We Five singing "You Were On My Mind.")
