... I had my very first date, with this very cute boy.
We met for a drink at Gypsy Co-op and then went for a delicious Thai dinner on Queen Street in Toronto. I can remember so vividly my favourite things he said that night; how if he didn't find a suitable career, removing plastics bags from trees and ensuring restaurant tables weren't wobbly would be a very noble job indeed; how shopping in the off-season is when you can get the best bargains, and had I ever noticed that before?; and how we talked without stopping about our favourite books, our views on life, art, etc...
I can't believe it's been 9 years. It makes me a little teary to think about it all.
We have shared so many adventures Charlie Brown, and I hope it never ends...
Love,
Bess
