5 Years

5 years ago today....

We met via Yahoo! Personals, discovering that we were both going to the same book group that night. Our first "date" was at the Hamburger Mary's that evening in Long Beach, trying to hint to the tag-a-long that we wanted to be alone. He never got the hint, by the way, but that didn't stop Caesar and I from getting together the next night to watch Lost and from there, moving in together; taking trips to San Diego and Walt Disney World and soon to Hershey, PA; being together for the births of two more additions to Caesar's family as well as our friend's twins; attending many concerts, plays and musicals; and having a wonderful time.

Our celebration started a bit early: Thursday night we saw a comedy show at the Irvine Improv. Local funny man Brad Williams kept us rolling in the aisles with his views of the world and on political correctness. The theater was packed for a school night, and everyone got into his routine -- so much so that he remained on stage for about 15 minutes after his set ended. And we ate it up.

Tonight, we're heading for dinner at Chris' & Pitts' for some good, local BBQ, followed by a movie. We will brave the crowds tonight to see Piranha 3-D.

So don't wait up!
