August 23rd

August 23rd, 1961 - My first boy-girl party. Tami Peterson's birthday. my first crush. I think she was 8 feet tall. She didn't change my life.

August 23rd. 1964 - Giants vs Mets, double header at Shea Stadium. I'm there with my Dad. Giants win the first game easily; the second game, not so easy. A bunch of odd circumstances; a triple play, Mays plays shortstop, the game goes on for 23 innings! Memorable, but not life changing.

August 23rd, 1968 - I met Pat on a blind date.

Life changing.

Thank you God.

Thank you Pat.



................okay, I 'm probably completely wrong about the first 2 dates, but not the third one.
Absolutely, completely, satisfyingly............ memorable.
