Hey Zorga

[Eldora, Oracle of Alchemy]

A romantic story

We lived in the same building, same floor, same wing, just 5 doors down.  The mailman came about the time I got home from work.  He was waiting for a letter.  Nice ass, I had to admit that. I saw him walking down the street a couple of times.  Red hair, that was always hard to resist.  Our first date was the Michigan Ren Fest.  Our second date was the county fair.  For our third date, we went up north.  For those of you unfamiliar with the term, in Michigan, the further north you go, the farther you get from civilization.  The more woods, the more lakes, in general anyway, and in Michigan, if you say you are going Up North, every knows you mean you are getting away from it all, whatever it all may be.  

We were headed to the Big Mac, not the sandwich, the bridge.  We would go over the bridge and turn right and follow the lake for about 20 minutes.  It was a 2 room cabin with no running water, we had to pump the water with a hand pump and heat it on the stove.  I am not going to tell you what happened the first night, this isn't porn, it's romance

He went outside to pee when he woke up.  When he came back in, I noticed he had on nothing but his boots, and he had a daisy in his hand.

We walked in the woods and washed each others' hair in the sink.  We took a trip to Mackinac Island, bought the best fudge in the world, walked all around the island, there are no cars, just horses and planes, don't ask.  We also fell in love.

That will be 13 years next month.  And I still love him.  And I look at our son in wonder.
