  • Flashback: First Pictures Together

    Looking back, this appears to be the earliest known pictures of The Lady Sparkler and I. While we didn’t start dating until May 2004, we first met at a Christmas Party for work the previous December.

    Actually, it turns out that had known each other since 2002. She was the press person for Campaign for America’s Future, and I was her web contact at the Carol | Trevelyan Strategy Group. We never actually met in person, but we worked together via phone and email on and off for over two years.

    The funny things is I just assumed that she was 45, married, with at least two or three children. Turns out that wasn’t actually the case.
