I was so shocked and upset that I spilled scalding hot coffee down the front of this nice extern. Not only did he forgive me for that, but he even asked me out. The big complication was that I was in the Army. Long story short, we got married and he joined the army too (I keep telling him he would have gotten drafted anyway.) 44 years, 4 kids, 3 grand kids later we're having a wonderful life despite the ups and downs.
Now that's a great story; OMG!! Fate is a wicked prankster sometimes. Turn around, bang, splash, and there he is. Thanks for the laugh and the smiles.
