In the middle of Pensacola Bay....

I had just bought my Road King. Acquaintance wanted to see and go for a ride. Met him at a local bar, she was on the back of his bike.
Hit it off and she's been on the back of mine ever since.

Was recently divorced from a 2 year marriage (we both were young and stupid). Living in an apartment.
I was at the pool, she was coming home from work. Watched her walk to her apartment like a angel. "Was she glancing at me..?".
Ten minutes later she came out to the pool in a bathing suit and introduced herself.
Not sure if it was love at first sight, but I was sure like being love struck

Blind date our mutual friends set us up on, after both of us ending engagements about 6 months earlier. First date was March 17,1978 and married February 17,1979. Still going strong.

I was recently divorced and talking to someone about wanting to meet a good woman. They gave me a name and I didn't know her. I called her 3 times and she just shot me down. So I went to her office and walked in and introduced myself. We have been married 28 years

In an electrical engineering lab in 1976 she was showing me how to calculate phasors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor

High school, 50 years ago in music class. She was a freshman, I was a junior. She has the voice of an angel. We both bounced around for a while, but I had it bad for her for a while. It took almost 10 years but we married in 1984. I still see that cute little freshman when I wake up.

High school friends. We never dated.
She came up to see me in AK and then she moved up after that trip. One day I just asked her what she was doing this weekend and if she wanted to get married. She said yes.
Let me tell you, her fiancee and my girlfriend were pissed. Been over 25 years.

1st one was the sister of a friend and I had known her for years, but not well enough it turned out, that marriage lasted 90 days. Her father and brother told me not to marry her, but I didn't listen to them. They were right, I was wrong. Her mother passed away last year and left me $9K in her estate, $100 for every day that I was married to her daughter. I heard that my ex was really unhappy with that distribution!
2nd one was a classmate in grad school, has lasted 35 years and counting.

Cruising the local elementary school. Most of the time that would get you arrested with a felony but she was my nephew’s student teacher. I had gone to eat lunch with him and his teacher set us up. That was 15 years ago

My latest girlfriend just walked on over and said she was interested. I'd literally been out here 2 years and had never even met her. She's my closest neighbor about 1/4 mile away and owns a 20 acre hobby farm. She's an RN by trade.
She troubles me though, because she is smarter than me. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
