THE TEAM
Jayson
The year was 1991 – The place was Athens, Georgia. I was looking for a diamond in the rough. I leaned against the bar, striking my best cowboy pose, and hoped to catch her eye. Without much remorse, she shoved me out of my cowboy pose, disturbing my delicate balancing act. “Hey, do you think you can get away with that?” I said, half choking as I looked up to see the most stunning woman in the world. Within moments, I discovered she has a wonderful light-hearted personality. Which meant one thing: I couldn’t let her get away. The long haul. Somehow, I pushed aside the lump in my throat and got her number. Robin
The plan was to have a girls night out, not to meet my future husband. My plan was about to change. In fact, I didn’t even see his cowboy-pose-thing. But I was thirsty, so I, you know, pushed him aside a bit. But this wasn’t the typical beer and whiskey smell. It was a chemical smell. Chemicals? Turns out, it was fixer solution from the darkroom. It took me 10 years to get used to that smell, but then digital came along… I actually miss it now… He was from Michigan. To this southern girl, that was a foreign land. But this boy was different…the absolute best kind of different. The long haul. He was funny and got all my movie references. He was a keeper.
