I failed to note a significant milestone here.
Eighteen years ago, this past June, I met the love of my life - in typically bizarre circumstances.
I was drowning my sorrows at being stuck with a loser for an evening over Chinese food at the Metro in San Francisco's Castro District.
After dinner, the loser (my roommate's friend, recently relocated) and I braved the cologne levels in the adjacent bar and I proceeded to win a Jaegermeister-sponsored boat race which involved incredibly inebriated people downing shots of Jaeger and trying to blow a toy sailboat across a wading pool without vomiting.
It was a magical evening, to be sure.
We met on the narrow deck overlooking Market Street as we were trying to avoid the wildly flaming tiki torches because we had so much product in our hair that we didn't want to be incinerated on the spot.
We didn't hit it off at first, but over breakfast the following morning (yes, I'm simply that easy) magic was born.
So, a month late, but here's to you, babe. I love you more than ever and, as you often note, we still rush home every night to be together. That must be love.
xoxo

Awww! That is so sweet. Happy anniversary. Proof that love can be found in what is potentially a one night stand. I couldn’t be more jealous. Keep it up fellas the world needs to see more long term investment from homosexual relationships. It’s too late for me so I’ll stick with my pattern of two or three a day...
Congrats. As I scrolled down to read this post it seemed appropriate that the picture from the previous post showed an audience applauding wildly (well as wild as one got back then in public).
BTW my husband, who I already knew, and I got together on our first date and he never left. That was 35 years ago.
Congrats to you both on 18 years together. That's quite an achievement.
Ah, I miss those days in the Castro.
Happy Anniversary to both of you. That made my weekend to read.
Sweet!
Happy belated anniversary.
Happy Anniversary to you and B. Sounds like love to me.
Please add: "just that easy" to our growing list of alikes. Jewy and I have been together since our first date, too, but he had to leave at 5am for work so I didn't cook him breakfast. I may, however, given him the impression that I ALWAYS served elaborate breakfasts on weekend mornings the first 3 months we were together...
Happy Annivesary! "May the best of your past be the worst of your future."
Happy anniversary! Keyron and I met under somewhat more salacious circumstances.
The RI State House was a major cruising spot. That's where we met. And here we are 17 years later.
