...despite living only five minutes from one another for several years. It took both of us moving to NYC -- nearly 1300 miles away -- to finally meet. Our mutual friend Henry set us up originally, thinking we'd be perfect for each other. After an evening of discussing the finer points of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica interspersed with commiseration over living in Florida, we both went our separate ways. Life got busy and a few months went by before we were able to have an official date. We finally managed to order some pizza and settle in for a big-screen viewing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We fell in love (with each other and with the epic filmmaking of Director Steven Speilberg). Countless adventures later, we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together.
