                                 Anniversary

It was one year ago today that Spring [1] and I realized we both had mutual
crushes and decided to become an item.

Of course, it happened over email since she was in New Jersey and I was here
in Lower Sheol (aka South Florida). We were on the same mailing list
(DaveWorld [2], a mailing list where there are no Dave's. You just wouldn't
get it) for several years and knew each other through it. We had exchanged
private emails a few times but nothing real significant. Then one year ago it
happened.

I was at work at The Company, with this massive headache, feeling exceedingly
tired but yet so wired with a sugar and caffiene high that I was buzzing
(“Sean, do you hear that wierd buzzing noise?” “Oooohhhh ddddoooonnnn'tttt
mmmmiiiinnnndddd tttthhhhaaaatttt,,,, iiiitttt'ssss jjjjuuuusssstttt mmmmeeee
… … … …”). Spring sent an email, I replied with an uncharacteristic frankness
that is generally reserved with inebriation and five hours later (all through
email—a kind of slow-man's Instant Messenger if you will) we were an item.

Okay, an item spread out over 1,200 miles of U. S. shoreline, but still, an
item. We didn't physically meet until January of this year (and if you check
[3], you'll see that's there this gap in January—that was me in New Jersey).
Then shen came down here for Easter, and then once more in July, and has been
here ever since.
