I guess you might suffer arrythmia if I told you I even had the audacity to “make the first move” by calling Justin for the first time after we met online!

To be fair, we were already good friends online and I called because his girlfriend had just squashed his heart before Thanksgiving, and he “sounded” utterly down in our online chats. So, I called his home after 10 PM, and since I didn’t know his telephone number, I accidentally called his sister’s line (she’s 9 years older than he is!) Thankfully, she happily let him monopolize her telephone for a little while until I was convinced he wasn’t going to sit outside and sullenly watch grass grow.

That was 18 years ago!

And that, as Paul Harvey would say, is “the rest of the story!”
