15 Year Anniversary

Fifteen years ago today I attended a Baptist Student Union dinner theater at ISU. The Saturday night amateur event featured various forms of karaoke and performing home made scripts that was charming in a family-style way. About a dozen students were earning proceeds to travel from home and minister to those less fortunate. Avanti's spaghetti was abundant. And for the first time, I met a pretty young girl from Goodfield as part of a blind date, a prelude to several thousand wonderful days since. As fate would have it, our old favorite "Forrest Gump" is playing on television tonight. All that's missing is a DQ blizzard! Tomorrow night we'll spend a luxurious evening together thanks to a winning silent auction bid for a hotel suite as part of - yes - another fund raiser. What could be better?
