Anniversary
It was one year ago today that Pocahontas and I first met face to face (having previously exchanched a couple of email messages after I replied to her profile on match.com .)
We’ve decided that our anniversary is a movable feast — the last Saturday in October, the Saturday before Daylight Savings ends. So yesterday we celebrated by going to Cafe Strada, where we first met.
Like last time, she was late (which is uncharacteristic: normally she’s very punctual.) Last time I was reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (borrowed from Jym) while I waited, this time it was Quicksilver, borrowed from the Berkeley Public Library.
The conversation had been fun and fairly easy from the start, but was still laced with not knowing each other and wanting to make a good impression. And apparently we did, ‘cause the next night we made another date for later that week, and now here we are sharing a mortgage.
And the conversation’s much more fun (and easier) than ever.
Happy anniversary, honey. I love you.
Congratulations to both of you. That's pretty far to go in a year. I wish you plenty of happiness together for the future.
