5,113 Days Ago

(That was 14 years ago, by the way.)

It was October 26, 1996 and it was a Saturday.

The Yankees beat the Braves 3-2 in game 6 of the World Series.

A new episode of Early Edition aired, titled Thief Swipes Mayor's Dog.

There was a tornado outbreak in Minnesota.

But in Glasgow, WV it was a drizzly day; gray and overcast. I was watching neither Game 6 nor Early Edition (though I dearly love both my Yankees and Kyle Chandler!) because I was a bit preoccupied.

This was me:

I was just a little over-dressed for the ballgame or sitting at home watching any type of serial television.

But at least I wasn't alone. This guy was there, too.

Lucky for me.

It would have been pretty lonely standing in the front of that church all by myself.


He even took off work today so we could celebrate, so we're outta here.

I foresee the Olive Garden in my very near future.
And if there is anything decent playing, maybe a movie.
And of course, a few other stops...
Like Lowe's, Books a Million, the mall.

Do we know how to celebrate BIG or what?
