I still follow her into the bedroom to watch her undress. Pepper Mil can corroborate this.

Anymore she turns around and says “then make yourself useful”, indicating that I should undo the bra fastenings. (with me often saying that all my liufe I’ve been waiting for a woman to do exactly this).  
I have learned that the correct action, after undoing the bra, is to not follow my instincts, but to scratch under the bra band. If I then rub the small of her back, she dissolves.

> Our meeting was pretty much as Cal said. My sister Carol and I did wonder a little bit as to how long it was going to take for Cal to get back with the cake, (It was about 45 minutes) but it was a huge crowd of people so I’m kind of surprised it was only that long.  
> We did keep on meeting each other and when we were talking I realized how smart and funny he was. (At least compared to all the other guys I dated who where either smart or funny but not both) I made sure I kissed him good bye so he would remember me. I knew I wanted to marry him by November when I got on the train in Boston to go back to NJ and started to cry a little.  
> It doesn’t feel like 25 years. Cal still makes me laugh and gets me thinking.  
> That’s my side and I’m sticking to it.

That’s great, Pepper. You two have something that some people never find. I hope it lasts many more years.

Another 39 years and you’ll match my parents. They celebrated their 64th anniversary three months ago!

What a great story, Cal. People make jokes about sf nerds, but it’s a big community of both sexes.

My wife and I also met through SF, and were at Noreascon III. Wonder if we ever bumped into you.
