Energetic, articulate and intelligent. A man of vision. Not nearly as curmudgeonly as I pretend to be. (I declined to write a description of myself, so this was a collaborative effort developed by my daughter and my life parter.)

Wondering - 2

Union Meeting,
Reg Berringer the shop steward from the police academy was supposed to represent us at the Annual general meeting of UPSE (Union of Public Sector Employees). He couldn't go and asked me to go to represent our section. I agreed. Day two of borrrrrring meetings who shows up but Audrey Penner - who also wasn't supposed to go to the meeting and in fact told the Union Rep that he should take her name off the list. He didn't and she ended coming in Saturday (meeting started on Friday night) and sat next to me. The rest is History as the say ing goes. I won a door prize...50 $ for a local pub. I invited the beautiful woman next to me to join me in spending the windfall. She agreed and the rest is MORE HISTORY. We ducked out early, had a drink together and began what is now our married life. Wonderful. Chance? Good Luck? Fate? Karma? Who knows why things happen as they do. Who knows why? But the important thing is to enjoy the thngs that happen and find all the happiness that you can in the road you have chosen.

Just wait until I Wonder #3 comes along. I have about twenty of these events in my life.
