Marc!| I Met You Today
On my sunset stroll this evening, as I passed my favorite home in the neighborhood – the one my kids always called “The Storybook House” – I saw you two standing in the driveway and decided to say hello.| I Met You Today
On the plane yesterday I was in full “ignore everyone” mode, on my way home from a conference where I had been bombarded by people and noise nonstop for the whole workweek. Headphones in, eyes closed, the flight attendant had to yell at me to listen to the exit row procedure, and you had to poke my arm at one point to call my attention to . . . well, to something important, but I honestly don’t remember what.| I Met You Today
I never answer calls from random numbers I don’t recognize, but curiosity got the best of me when I saw “Honolulu, HI” flash on the screen, perhaps psychologically because I was hoping for a free trip there 😂| I Met You Today
Today I walked over to the Redondo Beach pier for lunch, something I’ve done many, many times over the past 25 years. This was the first time I’ve ever done it for work, however. It’s interesting, sitting in a spot you know so well but looking at it with a different perspective . . . even if that new perspective is incidental and unexpected.| I Met You Today
On a hot and muggy day here in Virginia, we came across your stand at the flea market with 3 (very) grumpy kids in tow. I had forced them to come with me and do some exploring, but after 7 1/2 minutes I realized that was a huge mistake and now I had to do something about it 😂| I Met You Today
You have the potentially dubious honor of being the first new person I’ve met IN person since the recent reboot of the Love Bomb project. Truth be told, we very nearly didn’t even meet today. Going out to public events is difficult for me for a number of reasons, and I had almost convinced myself that I could wait one more week to start getting out there again. But after debating with myself for a couple of hours, I finally decided to go.| I Met You Today
Bookstores are my favorite places in the world. Usually I go just to relax, browse, and occasionally pick up something that looks interesting. Yesterday, however, I was on a mission.| I Met You Today
So thank you for extending your hand and making such a nice guesture first off – quite literally (for anyone reading this, he physically gave me a note with his phone number on it! Lol…), but even more so, thank you for being brave enough to even *think* of this option. It’s not every day a straight male gives his phone number to another straight male (and one he barely knows at that!), but I am both humbled and honored, and very much looking forward to what else you have up your sleeves.| I Met You Today
You turned around at the coffee shop today and asked if I had a phone charger. I did not, but after breaking the news to you we still managed to have a delightful conversation where I learned you were a mother to a beautiful (feisty!) girl, but also a seasoned yoga instructor.| I Met You Today
