I made all the changes for next month/year today because we will be attending a party held by really nice friends tonight. When I wake up on New Year’s Day is anyone’s guess as I try to get my sleep hygiene back in line for 2019.
January 2019 celebrates my first in-person meeting with Somara. We met online through match.com (I highly recommend it despite the obnoxious people in the commercials), spoke a few times by e-mail and phone calls, then decided to meet at a nearby Chili’s which is gone, they relocated closer to I-35. We used to have a anniversary meal there but Somara doesn’t really like them so we’ve modified it to the nearby Wings n’ More on Howard.
It’s been quite a ride over these two decades. I would’ve never predicted being married to her for 15 years though. Having greater success with women now that I was in my thirties was a strange experience but getting a permanent job was my main concern then, having a relationship wasn’t the number one thing, it was more of a distraction so I wouldn’t obsess about money or just sit around a coffee shop I fell in love with, writing letters to friends.
I’m a pretty lucky guy. It’s not everyday a Sci-Fi fan can meet a woman close to my age. So all you younger people, be grateful the Internet tore down the barriers separating us and helped make geeky/nerdy stuff popular.
On to 30 years and I hope to see more of you all in 2019.
