11. Christmas party at the cousin of my then current girlfriend.

My girlfriend at the time was from a small town in NW PA and I went with her for a visit over Christmas of '84 to check out the college there. One of her best friends showed up at a party in her cousin's trailer. My girlfriend gave each of us "computer flash cards" and my now wife and I got into a duel. A couple of weeks later, she showed up in MD (on a "visit&quot . We just clicked from the beginning and still click.

I'm still good friends with the girlfriend, and she's been in a long-term relationship almost as long, but I call her my sister now. "Aunt" to the kids. Sometimes random encounters are just meant to be. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

As for the gardening perspective, she didn't know shit about it. Now she handles most of it. I just can't do it anymore because I can't get off the ground without help now. I just sit in a chair, talk, and watch the eye candy.
